CHI Doors
CHI garage doors are the best made doors in America. These doors are 130 MPH hurricane wind rated. They have all the design bells and whistles that other doors have….. but they just do it better. CHI doors are riveted when other doors like Amarr and Clopay are just pressed together. CHI doors have horizontal hurricane struts that are integral to the door panels versus Raynor’s and Overhead door’s post system that has to be stored and manually installed in the event of a hurricane. CHI has baked enamel paint that looks far better and lasts much longer than any of the above manufacturers.



Hormann Doors
Hormann garage doors are the best made doors in the world. They are missile impact rated and hurricane wind rated to 150 MPH. They have R12 insulation. We demo these doors by setting a panel on the ground and then we jump on it over and over with our work boots on. Try THAT with any other brand door and you will have a pile of junk after your first jump. To achieve the missile impact rating the engineers had to fire 8 foot long two by fours lengthwise into the doors at 80 MPH without compromising the door. The Hormann doors also uniquely have a safety catch that will stop the door from free falling like a 500 pound guillotine if the door hardware fails. No other door has that feature.

Going back to the missile impact rating. Hurricane winds are not the biggest concern. Roof tiles, tree branches, bricks, rocks are like battering rams in hurricane force winds. They can tear apart even a wind rated garage door. And garage door failures are the cause of 80% of all residential home damage per FEMA. This is because the garage door opening is so large that once opened it exerts lifting forces on the roof that lift it right off and wind enters the house through the garage once the door fails. So the missile impact rating is the rating that FEMA and MY SAFE FLORIDA HOME most highly recommends. If you can afford the extra cost of a Hormann missile impact rated door, that will be your best hurricane safety investment you can make. There are only two approved missile impact rated doors….. and we carry both…. But we recommend Hormann.

Each of our service techs carries samples of all of our doors and can give a precise estimate of what the door you choose will cost. We carry hundreds of doors in stock at our own local warehouse which eliminates the normal 3 to 4 week wait for factory orders.
