HomeMy WebLinkAboutAutomatic Overhead Garage Door OperatorsDear Mr. German,
In your July letter to Mr. Petty, VP of the Puerto Del Rio Condominium
Association, you announced
your decision concerning obstructions caused by overhead garage doors
while in the open position.
This decision applies to commercial/multi-family public garages in the
City of Cape Canaveral.
As to the buildings at Puerto Del Rio, please note that these buildings
were completed from 10 to 14 years ago
and that most, if not all, overhead garage doors and automatic
operators have been replaced since then,
I did want to ask about your position as to the automatic garage door
operators since they are permanently
installed at the ceiling level.
Is it accurate to say that the minimum distance from the floor to the
operators, any attachments to the operators and any
overhead door tracks is the seven feet ( 84 inches) as listed in the
code?
Is it further accurate that the operators need to meet UL 325, that is
do they need to reverse the overhead doors upon
hitting an obstruction ( the flat 2" x 4" on the floor test) ?
Thank you for your help in this matter.
