More Information
Summary:A threshold assembly for an entryway system includes a sill presenting an upper sill surface, and a rail coupled to and disposed above the upper sill surface. The rail is movable between an initial and second position. The rail presents a lower rail surface facing the upper sill surface and has first and second retaining arms extending from the lower rail surface toward the upper sill surface to a distal retention end of the first and second retaining arms. The distal retention ends define a retaining width (W1) therebetween. The first retaining arm, the lower rail surface, and the second retaining arm collectively define a retention pocket. The threshold assembly includes a biasing member comprising a first portion disposed in the retention pocket. The retention pocket has a width (W2) greater than the retaining width (W1) for retaining the first portion of the biasing member within the retention pocket.
