Can I use an existing garage door, window, or swinging door in the new garage?

J2 Solutions - Custom detached garages- FAQs - State Certifi...
No. One of the best features of your new garage is that it is built to the most current and latest hurricane building codes available. If we were to compromise its structural integrity by installing an older non-wind rated component, the entire structure would be jeopardized should a hurricane hit. Furthermore, during the construction process inspectors must see the engineering specifications and installation instructions for each type of door and window installed.

What Do The Window And Door Sizes Represent?

Frequently Asked House Plans Questions
Most home plans are usually designed using a double hung divided light window. Each set of construction drawings uses a generic window sizing system that does not apply to any particular brand of windows. For example, a common size seen on our plans is 2860. This is a window that is 32" wide and 72" tall (2'-8" x 6'-0"). This is also the standard system used to identify the size of doors. A door labeled 2868 is a standard 6' 8" tall door that is 2' 8" wide.

How do you tell which way the door is swinging?

KelMel Millwork: Custom Mantels
excellent question, and a frequent communication mistake. We use the "Butt to Butt" method for calling our swings. Most hinges used on doors today are called butt hinges, therefore the 1st "Butt" in our analogy. The 2nd "Butt" is another word for your posterior. If you stand in the doorway with your back to the hinges, and one foot in the room, one foot out of the room, which side is the door on, your left hand, or your right hand? If it is your right hand, then you have a right hand door swing.
