Q1 Can Hurricane doors be installed at higherelevations?Hurricane doors canwithstand wind blowing athigh speeds. It can resisthigh pressure belts and canbe installed with relativeease than conventionaldoors. It can be fixed at aheight of 30 feet in the air oreven higher in places wherethe pressure is lower. Itneed not meet any designconfiguration. 4. Q2 Are all hurricane doors available in the marketfully impact-resistant products?Hurricane doors necessarilyhave to meet the testingregulations set by ASTM. Tobe considered as a part ofthe impact-resistant products,Hurricane doors are made topass through a stringent labtesting condition under theFlorida Building Code.

Q3 As per NOA terms, what are different types of Hurricanedoors?NOA certifies two types of Hurricane doors. They are:Large missile-tested doorsSmall missile-tested doorsDoors tested with large missile guns have to face a six-foot canon with 9-pound2 by 4 lumber shot at the door sample with speed of 50 feet per second.Doors tested with the small missile guns have to face a six-foot canon with 9-pound 2 by 4 lumber shot at the door sample with speed of 50 feet per second. 6. Q4 Does NOA perform the Wind load calculations for theHurricane doors?Yes. Authorities offer NOA Certification only afteraccurately performing the wind load calculations underpractical hurricane conditions. Wind load calculationsaccount for the pressure exerted on the door structure andthe frame components by blowing wind. It is tested forgarage doors, entry doors as well windows. The wind loadpressures are calibrated and marked on the door samplein positive and negative values. The dual number systembears the wind load acting on and away from the building. 7.
