Wind Load Garage Door FAQs
What is a wind load garage door?
A wind load garage door is reinforced to resist the pressure of high winds without bending or blowing in. The garage door is often the largest opening on a home, so if it fails in a storm, wind can get inside and cause more damage. Wind load doors use stronger construction and reinforcement to help prevent that.
Do I need a wind load garage door?
It depends on where you live and what your local building code requires, so check with your building department first. Some homeowners choose a wind-rated door even when it is not required, especially on open land or lakefront property where gusts are stronger, for extra strength and peace of mind.
Does a wind load door give up style or insulation?
No. The Courtyard 7565 Series uses decorative overlays so it looks like a classic carriage house door. Its polyurethane insulation gives an R-value of 12.12, which helps keep an attached garage more comfortable. For more design choices without the wind rating, see the Courtyard Collection.
Can my existing garage door be upgraded to handle high wind?
Sometimes, but a door built for wind load is usually the more reliable choice. Wind performance depends on the door sections, reinforcement, tracks and how the door is fastened to the framing all working together. Our technicians can look at your current door and explain whether reinforcing it or replacing it makes more sense.
How should I maintain a wind load garage door?
Maintain it like any garage door, with extra attention to the reinforcement. Once a year, check that hardware and tracks are tight and the springs are balanced, and lubricate the rollers and hinges. A Red Ribbon Service Plan includes a complete safety inspection, lubrication and a 25-point inspection of the door and opener.
