Wind Load Garage Door Hardware
Pictured above are hardware for wind load doors.
- High wind events can cause un-reinforced garage doors to buckle, forcing the door out of the track and causing catastrophic door failure.
- Debris driven by high-velocity hurricane winds become powerful projectiles that can pierce ordinary garage doors breaching their integrity.
- With wind speeds exceeding 111 mph (Category 3 or greater hurricane), extraordinary pressure inside the home can compromise the structural integrity of walls and roof.
- Induced internal air pressure can reach such a magnitude that it can literally blow off the roof and tear apart wall panels.
- Window opening as small as 4 square feet can pressurize the home's interior, exerting forces on the structure like a turbine engine.
Preparing for a Hurricane
- The garage door is potentially the largest and weakest opening of your home to a hurricane.
- According to the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes, about 80 percent of residential hurricane wind damage starts with wind entry through garage doors.
- The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has identified the loss of the garage door as one of four major factors in homes damaged and destroyed in Hurricane Andrew.
- As the American Red Cross warns, if your garage door fails, the full fury of the hurricane will enter your house and in all probability blow off your roof and destroy your home.
