Steps

  1. Identify which FORTIFIED designation the homeowner is pursuing, since garage door pressure-rating requirements differ by designation level and wind zone
  2. Confirm the current FORTIFIED technical bulletin/standard version in effect for the project's permit date, since requirements have been updated (a 2025 standard update applies to projects permitted on or after November 1, 2025)
  3. Select a garage door with a documented positive/negative design pressure rating and test standard appropriate to the site
  4. Confirm the door will carry, or can be fitted with, the required permanent label showing manufacturer, model/series, pressure rating, and test standard
  5. Document the installation for the FORTIFIED evaluator/inspector as part of the designation application
