Why the price is set per address
Miami-Dade requires 175 mph and Broward 170 mph, Exposure C, and every garage door in both counties needs the large missile impact rating. What a door actually has to resist is a design pressure in pounds per square foot, which depends on the width and height of the opening, the height of the roof and the exposure of the house. Approval is granted per model and per size, so a door approved at one width is not automatically approved at another. Our hurricane garage doors guide has the pressure tables and what impact approval means explains the paperwork.
