After Hurricane Andrew, South Florida learned firsthand what airbone 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.
  
 
 
Long before most building departmnents outside of South Florida began to implement windload requirements in their building codes, DAB was already manufacturing the Hurricane Master, a garage door system deliberately designed for coastal and inland areas recognized as hurricane-prone regions.

The Hurricane Master is specifically manufactured to endure the pushing-and-pulling effects of hurricane-force winds by incorporating an innovative reinforcement system called the InterForce that structurally reinforces each individual door section.

The patented Interforce reinforcement system also unifies the individual systems composing a garage door into a monolithic wind barrier. The InterForce is the structural component that transforms a garage door into a HurricaneMaster.
