The garage door selected is a model 410, manufactured by doorLink Manufacturing, Inc.™ in North Kansas City, MO. It is designed to meet the City of Wichita’s building code requirement of a 90 MPH wind load. Since it is installed in an unconditioned garage, it is non-insulated. The door is steel with a traditional raised panel design and includes a 1/2 HP chain drive operator and one transmitter.

Like the other products used to finish the exterior, the entry doors, manufactured by Therma-Tru Doors® in Maumee, Ohio were chosen for their durability and sustainability. They are all pre-hung insulated fiberglass wood edge door units and are all ENERGY STAR® rated. The wood grained fiberglass surfaces will not rot, deteriorate, rust, bow or crack. They resist denting and scratching and can be painted or stained.
