Are Your Hurricane Garage Doors Up to Code?

Tornadoes and hurricanes are capable of producing winds strong enough to cave in an unbraced garage door. Once that wind enters the garage, the resulting air pressure can blow the roof off your house—literally. You likely need a wind-rated garage door if you live in an area prone to high winds.

Are Your Wind-Rated Doors Up to Code?

Does your garage door meet your county’s building codes? You certainly don't want to find out the hard way. Let the professionals at Precision Garage Door Service inspect your door to ensure it's up to code and add bracing if needed.

The Benefits of Having Wind-Rated Doors

Besides the obvious benefit of withstanding strong winds, wind-rated doors benefit those living in hurricane and tornado-prone areas for many reasons, including:

  • Peace of mind: Your garage door is the largest entryway to your home. When your home is equipped with the proper garage doors, you can rest easy knowing that you have extra protection should a storm strike.
  • Increased structural integrity: Constructed with heavy-duty hardware and one or more layers of steel, wind-rated doors are sturdy enough to help secure your home's structure. In the event of a tornado or hurricane, they can even help prevent your roof from detaching or collapsing.
  • Enhanced protection: Your garage houses your vehicles and other valuables. Keep your property and family safer by ensuring you have the right garage door type.
  • Fully compliant: If your garage door is not up to code, our inspector will tell you the wind load and small missile impact resistance you need to meet the building code for your area.
