Garage door Opener in Fort Lauderdale

A garage door opener is an electro-mechanical arrangement to automatically open and close the garage door.

It is used to save time and human effort. A garage door has several components: an electric motor as a main component of the power unit, a track for sliding the garage door, a trolley mechanism and a chain and belt arrangement or a screw arrangement to open and close the garage door.

The electric motor on receiving a signal rotates the chain and belt mechanism or the screw mechanism. This, in turn, slides the garage door over the track with the trolley arrangement shifting the door in between the vertical position on the ground and horizontal position overhead.

The power unit is suspended at the rear of the garage from its ceiling. It can be controlled by its own remote control.

Fort Lauderdale Hurricane Impact Garage Doors

Since Florida is a hurricane-prone area, the state laws require the installation of hurricane garage doors.

Any garage door under these circumstances must withstand positive wind pressure or wind which pushes the door inside the house and negative wind pressure or the wind which pulls the garage door out of the house.

Depending upon your house location, you will need to find out your exposure zone. South Florida has 3 exposure zones:

Zone B: Urban and suburban areas, wooded spaces and other terrain containing many closely spaced obstructions.

Zone C: Open terrain with obstructions scattered about in flat open ground grasslands.

Zone D: Structures that are within 600 feet of the ocean or any other large water body measuring at least 5,000 feet

Fort Lauderdale hurricane garage doors have wind code ratings. The wind code ratings start from W1 which can withstand a wind speed of 90 mph or wind pressures of 12 pound per square feet to W9 which can withstand wind speeds of 150 mph or wind pressures of 54 pounds per square foot.

Using both exposure zones and wind code rating, you can select your optimal garage door.
