Strut-LockTM Wind Rated Sectional Doors | Cyclone Doors
In high wind and cyclonic areas, it’s sometimes necessary to engineer your garage or industrial door a little differently to ensure it withstands the particular stresses it may be subject to. Steel-Line cyclone garage doors are ideal for use in homes, sheds, commercial and industrial warehouses in high wind-prone areas.
The National Construction Code (NCC) 2013 – Housing Provisions (Building Code of Australia Volume 2) includes a reference for garage and large access doors for Region C and Region D to comply with AS/NZS 4505 – 2012 ” garage doors and other large access doors”. This came into effect on 1st May 2013.
Steel-Line Garage Doors has re-engineered our wind-rated garage doors and had them tested at the James Cook University against the wind loading requirements as laid out in the updated AS/NZS 4505-2012.
The Strut-Lock door is post-free, incorporating the use of heavy-duty struts, robust commercial hinges, top brackets in combination with a unique stile reinforcement to provide maximum resistance to forces exerted by cyclonic and high winds.

Strut-LockTM Wind Rated Sectional Door
Superior strength and rigidity are qualities of the unique design of the Strut-LockTM wind-rated sectional door, suitable for high wind or cyclonic locations.
As the largest point of entry, your garage door offers the greatest threat for high-pressure destruction during a cyclone.
If you live in high wind and cyclonic areas, it’s necessary to choose a garage door that will withstand the particular stresses it may be subject to and minimise the potential damage to your home.
Steel-Line’s new Strut-LockTM wind-rated garage door has been engineered to the highest standard and tested at the James Cook University Cyclone Testing Station against the wind loading requirements of AS/NZS 4505-2012.
The Strut-LockTM door is post-free, incorporating the use of heavy-duty struts, robust commercial hinges, top brackets in combination with a unique stile reinforcement to provide maximum resistance to forces exerted by cyclonic and high winds.
For a door size over 5500mm wide or 2580mm high, or to meet the C3 or C4 wind classification, the Wind Brace design is the best option, which features removable steel wind brace post(s) that are installed on the garage door once a cyclone warning is received.
It takes about 2-5 minutes to install and tools are not required. This feature can significantly enhance wind resistance up to C4 wind rating whilst still ensuring a smooth door operation.
