What makes a door impact rated
- Laminated glass that stays intact when struck
- Reinforced panels, frames and astragals
- Multi-point locks that tie the door into the frame
- Tested design pressure ratings for your wind zone
- Specific anchoring installed exactly per the product approval
Where they're required
In wind-borne debris regions along the coast, code generally requires new or replaced glazed doors to be impact rated or protected by approved shutters. Garage doors and large sliders also need appropriate ratings. We verify requirements for your address and handle the permit.
