Product Description
Our acoustic door threshold, commonly called a saddle, is used to help reinforce soundproof door assemblies to reduce air gaps beneath the door. These sound-rated thresholds should be combined with our Automatic Door Bottoms for best results. The thresholds are available in an aluminum finish.
These thresholds are listed for use with wood or metal doors and are available in different styles depending on the height required. Use the door threshold #564 for doors with a gap from the bottom of the door to the floor measuring ½” or less. For doors with a gap of ½” up to ⅞” you would use the higher door threshold, model #565. For ADA compliance, we offer model #164 with a flat surface and low height of 0.5”.
These door thresholds are often used in conjunction with automatic door bottoms and PrivacyShield® Soundproofing Door Seal Kits (Top and Sides) to create a complete soundproof door assembly or as part of our Acoustic Door Seal Kit. These products have a tolerance of +/- 1/8″ and need to be cut to fit the door opening when installed.
