Wind-Load Reinforcement | Open Sesame Las Vegas

Protect Your Home from High Desert Winds

Don't let a 60mph gust blow your door in. Upgrade your existing door to meet severe wind-load standards.

The Weakest Point in Your Home's Envelope

While Las Vegas doesn't get hurricanes, residents in open areas like **Summerlin West**, **Enterprise**, and **North Las Vegas** know the danger of our seasonal high wind warnings. The garage door is the largest opening in your home. If it buckles during a storm, the sudden pressure change can cause catastrophic damage to your roof and interior structure.

⚠ Signs Your Door is Vulnerable

💨 Visible Bowing

Does your door flex inward significantly when the wind howls? That’s a structural failure waiting to happen.

🔊 Intense Rattling

If your door sounds like it’s about to shake off the tracks during a storm, the hardware is stressed.

🏜️ High-Exposure Area

Live on a ridge or edge of the desert? You take the full brunt of wind gusts with no windbreaks.

Our Reinforcement Package

We can retrofit many existing garage doors with a "Wind-Load Kit" to significantly increase their structural integrity.

  • Heavy-Duty U-Bar Struts: We install 3-5 galvanized steel reinforcement struts horizontally across the back of your door sections to prevent buckling.
  • Upgraded Hinges & Rollers: We replace standard hardware with heavy-gauge steel hinges and long-stem rollers to keep the door locked tightly in the tracks under pressure.
  • Track Reinforcement: Ensuring your vertical tracks are securely lag-bolted into the wall framing, not just the drywall.
