If you are an architect, builder or specifier of wind code-compliant garage doors, contact us.

IDEAL Door has wind load product drawings for each of its WindCode® door models. Included with the wind load drawing is information about the door sections, horizontal reinforcement, door hardware (e.g. hinges), track, and pressures. Also included is jamb attachment information about how the jambs are attached to ensure that the wind load pressures on the door are successfully transmitted to the building’s structure. However, how the supporting structure is designed to resist these wind loads is the responsibility of the licensed architect or engineer for the building, not the garage door installer or garage door manufacturer.
