The door assembly sustained a positive uniform load of 70.6 PSF. The door assembly sustained a negative uniform load of 70.6 PSF after it was modified from its original configuration by reinforcing the blind stop of the elliptical transom with additional screw fasteners.
This door unit, as tested, is capable of safely supporting a design wind pressure of 47 pounds per square foot (DP=47 PSF). This design pressure is based on a safety factor of 2 with a 1/3 increase for short duration wind loading (resultant safety factor = 1.5).
Note: some states require the use of approved impact protective systems. Check with local or state authorities for a list of approved protective devices.
Note: Deadbolt required for use with all DP-47 approved systems.
