HURRICANE SHUTTERS AREN’T ENOUGH 

 IF YOUR GARAGE IS NOT PROPERLY PROTECTED!!!

Do you know… 

- the garage door is potentially the largest and weakest opening in many homes to a hurricane? 

- according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, loss of the garage door was a major factor for homes damaged or destroyed in Hurricane Andrew? 

- even with shutters, if your garage door fails, the full force of the hurricane will enter your home and possibly blow off your roof and seriously damage or destroy your home? 

- regardless of the type and strength of your door, it is attached to the garage by only its tracks? 

 

A Secure Door® vertical brace is pictured below on the inside of a typical steel garage door. 

Made of high-quality aircraft-grade aluminum that is lightweight yet incredibly strong. 

Unique telescoping design enables the brace to fit almost all garage doors. 

Brackets attach to hinges to keep the door from being blown in or sucked out and are adjustable to fit behind any horizontal braces.  

Brace is anchored into the wall above the garage door, into the garage floor, and to each hinge, providing crucial reinforcement of the tracks. 

 

Patented system that can be installed on almost all residential garage doors 

Exceeds ASTM E330 and SBCCI Retrofit wind speed standards 

Selected by the University of Florida for their Windstorm Training Center hurricane model homes Statewide Florida Building Code approved (FL2364)

The same type door installed according to manufacturer’s specifications and reinforced with three Secure Door® braces withstood pressure equivalent to 180 mph wind speeds in independent laboratory tests. Based upon engineer calculations, a single door of the same specifications reinforced with a single Secure Door brace will also withstand wind speeds of approximately 180 mph. Engineer calculations for double door protection (door specification as above) project that two braces in lieu of three provides protection for wind speeds up to 165 mph. Protection levels assume correct brace installation. Individual consumer results will vary with the age, size, condition, construction method, installation technique, and material of the door to which the Secure
