Our Mission is Straight Forward To continually develop innovative garage door systems that can better resist the effects of severe windstorms and impact from airborne debris. After Hurricane Andrew, South Florida learned firsthand what airborne debris could do to a structure during extreme windstorms. We challenged ourselves to develop a better garage door system that would meet and exceed the stringent Florida Building Codes. The result was the Hurricane Master™, the industry's first garage door system engineered with a structurally reinforced load-component concealed within the perimeter of each door section. This patented structural component transforms the door into a monolithic wind barrier that is better able to resist the effects of severe windstorms. |

Built-In Windload Resistance System in Each Door Section Extensive independent testing confirms how DAB's Hurricane Master™ is able to withstand the intense pushing and pulling effects of extreme wind velocities from 90 MPH to over 150 MPH in both coastal and inland wind zones for the broadest wind coverage available. Exclusive embedded structural reinforcement system allows for doors up to 16' wide to meet most building codes without additional reinforcement. Embedded structural reinforcement systems eliminates conventional bulky reinforcement beams to maximize garage space while preventing the door from sagging and bowing. Slender 2 1/4" u-bars can be easily added to meet and exceed the strictest wind codes. Door widths are available in 2" increments up to 18'2" wide to cover a broad range of custom door openings. * Wind load requirements for each door can differ from one site to another due to such things as door size, the door's location on the structure, and localized wind zones. For this reason, it is recommended for a local garage door professional, architect, or engineer to assess the necessary wind pressures for the given door opening. |
  The InterForce™ The patented InterForce™ Structural Reinforcement System is a stiffening, steel framing system embedded along the perimeter of each door section. By surrounding each door section, the InterForce™ is able to unify the individual door systems and magnify the door's resistance to the extreme pushing and pulling effects of severe windstorms without additional reinforcement. When local building codes call for higher wind resistance, the embedded InterForce™ system allows the door's degree of wind resistance to be easily increased by permanently attaching slender reinforcement bars on the backside of the door. Unlike bulky conventional reinforcement beams, these slender reinforcement bars do not significantly reduce the overall garage space. With this factory-installed stiffening system, the InterForce™ eliminates the expense of reinforcement kits or other similar approaches usually required prior to installing electric door operators. The built-in reinforcement system also serves as an excellent method to prevent sagging and bowing, which is generally associated with wider doors. |

| Garage Doors Built for Exceptional Life-Time Performance 1. All our door panels are manufactured from high strength 24-guage steel to protect against impact from airborne debris. 2. Hot-Dipped Galvanizing Process: Prior to manufacturing, our door’s steel skin is submerged in a continuous molten zinc bath that completely galvanizes both sides of the steel panel to ensure against corrosion. 3. Bake-On Primer Undercoat Treatment: A baked-on primer undercoat is next applied to both sides of the steel skin to increase the door’s performance against corrosion and improve paint adhesion. 4. Flexible Baked-On Polyester Top-Coat: Finally, a flexible baked-on white or almond colored polyester top-coat is added to provide a third corrosion barrier for years of maintenance-free performance. |
