Exitex OUM 4 Aluminium Low Threshold 914mm – Outward-Opening Door Cill
Genuine Exitex OUM 4 aluminium low threshold with EPDM weather seal – reduces draughts and water ingress on outward-opening doors. BS8300 compliant, in Gold Anodised or Mill Aluminium.
Exitex OUM/4 Aluminium Door Cill is a low-profile replacement threshold designed specifically for outward-opening external doors. If your existing weatherbar or threshold has become worn, draughty, or is letting water in around the base of the door, this genuine Exitex OUM 4 low threshold provides a like-for-like replacement without the cost of a full door installation. It's suitable for single open out doors from 44–56mm thick, and its gently sloping profile makes it a practical, BS8300 Equality Act compliant choice for accessible entrances.
Manufactured from strong aluminium with an EPDM rubber seal for excellent weather tightness and pre-drilled drainage holes to let excess water escape, the OUM 4 is built to withstand exposed, external locations without corroding or warping. It carries the genuine Exitex manufacturer reference 1.01.0339, so you can be confident you're fitting the correct part rather than a generic substitute.
Key Benefits for Outward-Opening Door Owners:
- Genuine Exitex OUM 4 Fit – Matching the original manufacturer profile means no wasted money on a cheap alternative that doesn't sit right or seal properly against your door.
- EPDM Weather Seal – The rubber seal compresses against the door when closed for excellent weather tightness, cutting draughts and keeping your entrance warmer.
- Pre-Drilled Drainage Holes – Lets excess water escape from the sill rather than pooling, helping to protect your doorframe and flooring from water damage over time.
- Low-Profile, BS8300 Compliant – The gently sloping profile meets BS8300 Equality Act requirements, making it suitable for accessible, wheelchair-friendly entrances and reducing trip hazards compared with a raised, traditional threshold.
- Strong Aluminium Construction – Resists corrosion and coastal or exposed weather conditions, so it stays functional and looking presentable for years rather than needing early replacement.
- Suitable for Doors 44–56mm Thick – Covers the door thickness range used across most single doors.
- Cut-to-Size DIY Replacement – Supplied at 914mm and trimmed to your doorframe rebate width on site, it's a practical, self-fit alternative to replacing an entire door or frame when only the threshold has failed.
- Two Finish Options – Available in Gold Anodised or Mill Aluminium, so you can match existing door furniture or the look of your door.
