731 Garage Door Design Loads - Is Your Door a True Miami-Dade Door?
Your garage door is meant to withstand a certain amount of wind force, and debris impact; this is the door’s design load (measured in PLUS and MINUS pressures). The designation of a Miami-Dade door code for design loads is established by the standards of Miami-Dade County. These design load standards are the most strict and extensive of any in all of Florida, as the Miami-Dade area is susceptible to more frequent and more powerful storms than any other area in Florida.
