Lorient LAS4010 Door Threshold Plate - Accessible Sealing

This door threshold plate is suitable for both single and double swing doors, providing a durable and practical solution for a variety of facilities. 

Key Product Features:

• 1000mm and 2100mm lengths
• Silver anodised aluminium
• Low profile
• Suitable for single and double swing doors
• 75mm width
• 6mm overall height
• Suitable for wheeled traffic

Improved Seal Performance

The LAS4010 threshold plate creates a firm contact point for door bottom seals, significantly improving their ability to prevent light penetration, weather, draughts, and smoke transfer. This enhancement is crucial for maintaining the integrity of fire doors and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

The LAS4010 threshold plate can be used with a huge variety of different door bottom seals or drop seals. Whilst models like the Lorient LAS8002 acoustic drop seal don’t necessarily need a floor plate to function well as they are self-levelling on uneven surfaces, installing a threshold plate can deliver a firmer contact for the drop down gaskets.

Durable Aluminium Construction

Constructed from aluminium, the LAS4010 offers exceptional durability and resistance to wear. Its silver anodised finish not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also provides additional protection against corrosion, ensuring a long service life even in high-traffic areas.

These floor-mounted plates are subject to a high level of use and daily wear and tear. Make sure to check them as part of your regular door maintenance routine and replace them as necessary if they’re damaged. Threshold plates and door seals should not obstruct the door opening, closing fully, or latching.

Accessibility Considerations

With its low 6mm profile, the threshold plate provides a smooth transition between floor surfaces, allowing for easy movement of wheeled traffic such as trolleys, wheelchairs, and hospital beds. This feature is particularly beneficial in commercial and public buildings where ease of access for all is a priority. The dimensions of this plate comply with the requirements of BS 8300. The overall height should not exceed 15mm, and any upstands greater than 5mm should be pencil-rounded or chamfered.

So you can be sure when fitting this threshold strip alongside Lorient drop seals and perimeter seals that you are complying with accessibility requirements while delivering acoustic and smoke protection. Seals like the Lorient Firtree perimeter seal and their plain intumescent strips provide all round door protection.

Versatile Application and Easy Installation

Designed for versatility, the LAS4010 is suitable for both single and double swing doors. It can be used in conjunction with various door bottom seals, making it a flexible solution for different door configurations. It can be cut to the required length and is supplied as either a 1000mm or 2100mm length. It is also available in bronze anodised or powder-coated finishes as a special order to match flooring, doors, or other items of fire door ironmongery.

The threshold plate comes with pre-drilled holes and is supplied with fixing screws, allowing for quick and secure attachment to the floor. This ease of installation minimizes downtime and ensures that doors can be operational quickly after fitting.
