Impact doors in Margate, FL
In Margate, a door permit comes with a pool safety barrier form, and parts of the city sit in AH and AE flood zones. We install impact doors and handle both.
Many Margate homes from the 1960s through the 1980s have a pool and French or patio doors that open onto it. Those doors are big openings, and in older homes they are often the last ones without impact protection.
Margate checks doors in two local ways. The homeowner signs a Pool Safety Barrier Form with every window and door permit. And the city's flood map includes AH and AE zones, which affects threshold choice on ground-floor doors. We look at both before ordering.
