Product Description
1715AK-36 Pemko 1715AK Heavy Duty Threshold — 5" x 1/2", 36" Length, PemKote Aluminum
A bare mill-aluminum threshold gets slick fast in a commercial entry — wet shoes, mop water, winter salt, and it's a slip-and-fall waiting to happen. The Pemko 1715AK is the same heavy duty 5" saddle threshold as the standard 1715A, but with the PemKote skid-resistant surface baked in, so you're not adding an abrasive strip after the fact.

Pro-Installer FAQ
Q: Is this threshold ADA compliant out of the box?
A: Yes — the 1715 profile is a barrier-free, ADA access-rated threshold at 1/2" height.
Q: What's the difference between 1715A and 1715AK?
A: Same 5" x 1/2" heavy duty saddle profile. The "K" adds the PemKote skid-resistant surface — worth it for any entry that sees rain, snow melt, or heavy foot traffic.
Q: How much door clearance do I need?
A: Allow 5/8" of clearance under the door for the 1715 series to swing clean over the threshold.
