How to Properly Prepare Your Residential and Commercial Doors for Hurricane Season

The  Hurricane Season officially started on June 1 and will end on November 30. During hurricane
season, your residential and commercial doors in Southwest Florida are especially susceptible
to wind and flood damage. The wind sends debris into doors and siding, resulting in broken glass
and damage to the façade of buildings. Wind damage is the number 1 risk during hurricane season.
Additionally, properties with commercial and residential doors that aren’t properly sealed can
quickly be breached by water, resulting in extremely costly water damage. Fortunately, these risks
can be reduced by following a few steps to secure doors from hurricane winds and rain.  Call Action
Automatic Door and Gate for preventative maintenance and in case of damage, repair, and
replacement.


Preparing your property for hurricane season provides the building with greater protection. This can
help diminish the risk for costly window damage, as well as prevent flood water from seeping in
through doors.


Tips for Protecting Doors and Doorways during Hurricane Season


Glass doors and storefronts, like windows, are at risk for wind damage, and thus, they should be
reinforced accordingly by Action Automatic Door and Gate. Hurricane-resistant glass storefronts
and doors are one of the most effective strategies, and plywood covering can be used as a second
line of defense. In addition, property owners should consider:


Three-Hinged Doors: Exterior doors with at least three hinges are often required in hurricane-prone
environments, as they’re better able to withstand extreme hurricane winds. In general, metal and solid
wood core doors are best equipped to withstand extreme air pressure changes and flying debris. Glass
doors, hollow-core wooden or metal doors, or double-entry doors should be reinforced with plywood or
shutters. Plus, property owners should consider the integrity of the lock. Dead-bolt locks with at least
1-inch of bolt throw can help prevent doors from flying open during a hurricane and a potential break-in.


Reinforce Overhead Doors: Commercial and industrial hanging doors are extremely susceptible to wind
damage. Hurricane windows can push the door off the track. Additionally, these types of doors, if not
properly sealed, can allow wind to enter the property, which can cause costly damage to the roof and
siding. Hurricane-resistant overhead doors can help mitigate this risk, as well as a wind-pressure system.


At Action Automatic Door and Gate we provide repairs on all makes and models of residential and
commercial doors. We stock an enormous selection of replacement parts to ensure we can repair your
door on the same day, these include; cables, wires, springs, handles, locks, door rollers, and roller

5 Types of Inflatable Seals and Shelter by Action Automatic Door and Gate

Action Automatic Door and Gate has an extensive range of seals and shelters designed to improve
the efficiency of loading docks by either minimizing heat gain or heat Loss in the warehouse and
transportation areas - depending on whether the environment needs to be kept warm or cold.
