A continuous handicap threshold assembly for an entryway has an elongated extruded aluminum body with a threshold portion for extending continuously beneath a closed door and at least one fixed panel such as a sidelight or patio door. An exterior sill extends outwardly and slopes downwardly from said threshold portion and an interior sill extends inwardly from said threshold portion. The threshold portion projects a small distance upwardly from the sills to define exterior and interior dams to prevent water leakage. To accommodate the fixed panel, a plastic sidelight cap is adapted to be selectively positioned along the length of the body covering a section of the threshold portion to underlie and support the fixed panel of the entryway.
A threshold assembly for installation in a handicapped accessible entryway having spaced vertical jambs extending upwardly from an entryway floor, said threshold assembly being sized to be positioned on the floor of the entryway extending between the vertical jambs and being profiled for allowing wheelchair ingress and egress through the entryway, said threshold assembly comprising an elongated body having opposed ends, said elongated body being integrally formed to define an upwardly projecting and longitudinally extending threshold portion with an upper surface aligned with and underlying a closed door of the entryway, an exterior sill extending outwardly and sloping downwardly from said threshold portion to an exterior edge of said body, and an interior sill extending inwardly and sloping downwardly from said threshold portion to an interior edge of said body, said threshold portion projecting upwardly a predetermined distance from said interior and said exterior sills to form a first dam extending along the junction of said threshold portion and said exterior sill and a second dam extending along the junction of said threshold portion and said interior sill, said first and second dams forming a barrier against migration of water from said sills past said threshold portion of said body.
A continuous threshold assembly for installation in wheelchair accessible entryways having at least one openable door and at least one fixed panel flanking the openable door, said threshold assembly comprising a unitarily formed elongated body sized to span the entryway and having a profile allowing the threshold assembly to be traversed by an individual in a wheelchair, said elongated body being formed to define an upwardly projecting threshold portion positioned to extend continuously beneath a closed door of the entryway and a fixed panel of the entryway, an exterior sill extending outwardly and sloping downwardly from said threshold portion to an exterior edge, an interior sill extending inwardly and sloping downwardly from said threshold portion to an interior edge, and a sidelight cap selectively positionable along the length of said elongated body to overlie a section of said threshold portion, said sidelight cap for positioning beneath and supporting a fixed panel of the entryway;
