CURRIES Windstorm-Certified products have been tested to the requirements for hurricane-prone and wind-borne debris regions as defined in the International Building Code (IBC) certifed by Florida Building Commission, Dade County, and Intertek agencies. Assemblies are tested for design pressures, impact resistance, glass and glazing materials and specific commercial hardware applications. Locations of these openings on exteriors of buildings plus the location of the buildings determine the benchmark performance required of the opening. Code officials have standardized this data for construction in regions of the country susceptible to violent wind storms in attempts to safeguard the public health, safety and general welfare through requirements for buildings and other structures sited in these hurricane prone areas. CURRIES door series 607,707, 727, and 747 have achieved various levels of performance listings. The standard full perimeter channel construction on all door series prove its worth throughout this rigorous regimen of physical testing of door and frame assemblies.

Flush M Series frames dominate this criteria used in masonry walls to withstand the forces applied to the assemblies. Light steel and wood frame wall construction assemblies are available as well. Hardware requirements vary with each assembly and the performance level required for a particular openings location in a building. TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE EVALUATION REPORTS >> WINDSTORM - HURRICANE SELECTION GUIDE >> Find technical information here >>To establish guide criteria for the selection and usage of 1-3⁄4" and 1-3⁄8" standard steel doors. Standard steel doors are classified in four levels: Level 1 – 1-3⁄4" and 1-3⁄8" standard duty, Level 2 – 1-3⁄4" heavy duty, Level 3 – 1-3⁄4" extra heavy duty and Level 4 – 1-3⁄4" maximum duty. Each of the four levels noted above offer a range of construction models and designs to meet architectural requirements for preference and appearance. The standard steel door construction models are full flush, seamless and, stile and rail.

Recommended minimum gauge requirements for the various levels and models of standard steel doors are indicated in table 1. Selection of standard steel doors for general usage is made by analyzing criteria such as frequency of use, including subjection to and degree of possible abuse. Other criteria to be considered in door selection are: conformance to local building codes and fire code regulations; sound attenuation and/or insulation requirements; and architectural design and appearance. Table 2 is a reference aid matching standard duty, heavy duty, extra heavy duty and maximum duty doors with general usage requirements within the classification of buildings. Where optional door levels and models are indicated, further analysis on an individual job basis is recommended. When unusual or special door usage conditions are encountered, contact a representative member of the Steel Door Institute for consultation and guidance.

Measures a door assembly's ability to resist deterioration resulting from expected usage. The Test consists of two parts: Swing Test  -  (ANSI A250.4-01) Door  -  Door is open and closed a prescribed number of times. Refer to Fig. #1 Twist Test  -  (ANSI A250.4-01) Door  Periodically throughout the Swing Test, a 300 lb. load is applied to one of the door's corners to gauge the door's ability to resist permanent deflection.metal front doors brisbane Fig. #1 - ANSI A-250.4 & 5 - Performanceupvc front door and top light Door Face SheetMinimum ThicknessCycle (thousands)liftmaster professional garage door opener prices Measures a door assembly's ability to resist, delay, and frustrate certain burglar attacks.
