Garage Door Bracing by Secure Door
Secure Garage Door Braces
The Garage Door is potentially the largest and weakest opening in many homes to a hurricane. According to FEMA, the loss of the garage door was one of four major factors for homes damaged or destroyed in Hurricane Andrew.
Even with Shutters, if your garage door fails, the full force of the hurricane will enter your home and possibly blow off your roof and seriously damage or destroy your home.
The garage door brace
is made of high quality Aircraft Grade Aluminum that is lightweight (14 lbs) yet incredibly strong. The telescoping design enables the brace to fit almost all garage doors up to 8′ tall. The product is a vertical bracing system made from high quality aircraft-grade aluminum that attaches to the inside of the garage door. Secure Door® hurricane garage door protection strengthens the door and provides support for the door in addition to the garage door tracks. The brace is anchored into the wall above the garage door, into the garage floor, and to each hinge. After initial set-up, it installs in less than 5 minutes per brace when a hurricane is approaching.
Cat 5 Shutters LLC is a supplier and installer of Secure Door Garage Braces. You can install braces yourself or we can install the braces for you. A regular garage door needs one brace and larger doors over 8′ wide need two.

Secure Door® is a patented hurricane garage door brace that converts most existing garage doors to a hurricane-resistant garage door.
