Wind-Rated Garage Doors for Oklahoma City Tornadoes
Oklahoma City sits in the heart of Tornado Alley, and no community knows this better than local homeowners. The catastrophic May 3, 1999 F5 tornado remains the most powerful tornado ever recorded with wind speeds exceeding 300 mph. The May 20, 2013 EF5 tornado devastated Moore with 210 mph winds, destroying entire neighborhoods. More recently, 2024 became Oklahoma's worst year for tornado activity, with severe outbreaks affecting the metro area repeatedly throughout spring and early summer.
Here's what most Oklahoma City homeowners don't realize: approximately 90% of house damage during tornadoes begins when the garage door fails. When wind pressure blows in your garage door, it pressurizes your home like a balloon, blowing out walls and lifting the roof. This catastrophic failure sequence can destroy your entire home even if the tornado doesn't make direct contact.
That's why wind-rated garage doors aren't a luxury in Oklahoma City—they're essential protection for your family and your largest investment.
What Wind Rating Does Your Oklahoma City Home Need?
Standard garage doors are rated for 90 mph winds, which sounds impressive until you understand Oklahoma's tornado reality. Even EF2 tornadoes (the most common category affecting Oklahoma City) produce winds between 111-135 mph. EF3 tornadoes reach 136-165 mph. Your standard garage door will fail long before tornado winds peak.
For Oklahoma City homes, we recommend minimum 130 mph wind-rated doors. These reinforced doors feature:
- Thicker steel panels (24-gauge vs. standard 25-gauge)
- Heavy-duty track systems with reinforced brackets
- Wind-load bracing across door panels
- Hurricane-grade hinges with additional support
- Reinforced center posts and header plates
Pricing: Wind-rated doors in Oklahoma City typically range from $1,800-$3,200 for standard double-car garage doors, depending on insulation level and wind rating. While this represents a premium over standard doors ($800-$1,500), it's a fraction of the cost of rebuilding your home after tornado damage.
Moore, OK Wind Code Requirements (135 MPH Doors)
After the devastating 2013 EF5 tornado, Moore, Oklahoma adopted some of the strictest residential wind codes in the nation. Moore requires all new garage door installations to meet 135 mph wind load requirements—significantly higher than Oklahoma City's general code.
While Moore's strict code applies within city limits, many Oklahoma City homeowners—particularly in southern neighborhoods near Moore like South Oklahoma City, Valley Brook, and areas along I-35—choose to meet Moore's 135 mph standard voluntarily.
Our technicians are fully trained in Moore's wind code requirements and can help you determine whether 135 mph doors make sense for your Oklahoma City location.
Reinforcement Kits & Bracing Systems
Already have a standard garage door and not ready for full replacement? Reinforcement kits provide interim protection until you're ready to upgrade to a fully wind-rated system.

Frequently Asked Questions - Oklahoma City Garage Doors
Do you install wind-rated garage doors for Oklahoma City tornadoes?
Yes—wind-rated garage door installation is one of our core specialties for Oklahoma City homeowners. We install doors rated from 90 mph up to 150+ mph wind loads, with most Oklahoma City homes choosing 130-135 mph rated systems for optimal tornado protection. After witnessing the devastating May 3, 1999 F5 tornado and the May 20, 2013 Moore EF5 tornado, we recognized that standard garage doors simply can't protect Oklahoma City families during severe weather events. Our wind-rated doors feature reinforced steel panels (24-gauge vs. standard 25-gauge), heavy-duty track systems with additional brackets, wind-load bracing across panels, and hurricane-grade hinges. We're fully trained in Moore's strict 135 mph wind code requirements and can help you determine the appropriate wind rating for your specific Oklahoma City location. Pricing typically ranges from $1,800-$3,200 for standard double-car garage doors depending on wind rating and insulation level—a worthwhile investment compared to the cost of tornado damage repairs.

How much does garage door repair cost in Oklahoma City?
Garage door repair costs in Oklahoma City vary based on the specific problem, but we provide transparent pricing before beginning any work. Common repair costs include: spring replacement $175-$250 (most common repair), garage door opener repair $125-$200 or replacement $350-$650, off-track repair $200-$350, single panel replacement $300-$550, cable replacement $150-$225, and roller replacement $100-$175.

When should I get my garage door inspected before Oklahoma tornado season?
We recommend scheduling your pre-tornado season garage door inspection in February or early March—before Oklahoma's peak tornado season begins in April and extends through June. Early scheduling ensures you can complete any necessary repairs or upgrades before severe weather threatens. Our 21-point preventive maintenance inspection ($89) includes spring tension testing, roller condition assessment, track alignment verification, safety sensor testing, weather seal inspection, and hardware tightening. If we identify issues during inspection, scheduling repairs in February or March means you'll avoid the rush that happens in late March when other homeowners scramble to prepare.
Does my garage door need to meet Moore, OK wind code requirements in Oklahoma City?
Moore's 135 mph wind code requirement applies specifically within Moore city limits following the devastating May 20, 2013 EF5 tornado. However, many Oklahoma City homeowners—particularly in southern neighborhoods near Moore like South Oklahoma City, Valley Brook, and areas along I-35—choose to meet Moore's 135 mph standard voluntarily for several smart reasons. First, homes meeting higher wind codes often qualify for better insurance rates, potentially offsetting your door upgrade cost over 5-7 years. Second, wind-rated doors enhance resale value—Oklahoma City homebuyers increasingly prioritize tornado protection features. Third, EF2 and EF3 tornadoes (the most common categories affecting Oklahoma City) produce winds between 111-165 mph, making 135 mph doors appropriate protection regardless of your specific location.
What are the most common garage door problems in Oklahoma City homes?
Oklahoma City's extreme weather creates unique garage door challenges. Broken torsion springs are our most common repair call—Oklahoma's temperature swings from summer heat (110°F+) to winter cold (below 20°F) accelerate metal fatigue, causing springs to fail after 7-10 years versus 10-15 years in moderate climates. Garage door opener malfunctions rank second, particularly in homes built before 2000 with outdated systems that struggle with extreme temperatures. Off-track doors increase during severe weather season—strong winds and hail can knock doors off tracks, especially if rollers are worn or tracks are misaligned. Panel damage from hail, tornadoes, and vehicle impacts is more common in Oklahoma City than national averages due to our severe weather frequency.
