Earthquake-Proofing Garage Doors –
Most Las Vegas homeowners don’t realize their garage is the weakest structural point during earthquakes. After studying 2019 Ridgecrest quake damage, we engineered the only FEMA-approved retrofit for Vegas homes.
Vegas-Specific Danger Factors
1. Builder-Grade Track Mounts
– 80% use 1/4″ lags instead of required 3/8″ bolts
2. Unreinforced Masonry
– Older NW homes lack steel lintels
3. Torsion Spring Torque
– 220 lbs of stored energy multiplies shaking
Our Seismic Retrofit Package ($897+)
🔧 Grade-8 steel track bolts (earthquake-tested)
🔧 Shear panel reinforcement
🔧 Inertia-activated auto-lock
🔧 Spring torque recalibration
🔧 Post-installation shake table test
