Pemko #3496_M Meeting Stile, Aluminum, Locking Spring Bolt with Magnetic Kerf-in Seal for In-swing Metal Doors

This meeting stile with locking spring bolts has both a magnetic Kerf-in seal and a pile brush seal to provide imperforated closure to the midline gap of single active in-swing doors. It is ideal for entrances with 1.75” thick, in-swing, metal or metal faced double doors where only one of the doors is in use most of the time for security reasons, to control traffic, maintain room temperature, or for privacy and calm. See customization options below for additional functions.

Dimensions: This meeting Stile is for 1.75" thick metal faced doors. The Inactive door is fitted with an aluminum housing that cradles the door’s edge and extends more than .5” away from edge. A colonial style front holding the Magnetic kerf-in seal extends over the opposite door. It also holds a pile brush seal and the tube that holds an aluminum spring-lock bolt mechanism (see product specs). 

For surface mounted installation, the midline gap must exceed .5”. To mortise for a neat look, a .5” cutout in the inactive door edge is required. See product specs and detailed images for visual representation.

Seals: This meeting stile has two seals; a magnetic kerf-in seal and a pile brush seal. The magnetic seal compresses tightly against the metal on the face of the door and provides excellent, long lasting closure against temperature leakage. The pile brush seal provides double protection from infiltration of unwanted  dirt, insects, sound, and light between environments.

Lock Bolt: Meeting Stile is fitted with locking spring bolts. Spring bolt has full 3/8" diameter steel bolts with 1-1/16" throw for improved locking strength. In the extended and locked position, locking spring bolts are tamper proof and cannot be easily retracted. In the retracted position, the spring loaded bolts latch firmly, thus preventing marking of the floor and door header trim when opening or closing the inactive door.

Handing: Please specify the handing of the active in-swing door in ‘Handing’  option above. Confused about handing? See How To Determine Door Handing or Swing of Door.

Customization Options: You can customize this meeting stile to accommodate existing door attributes.
