One for the Wind Mit Gurus

I believe a 1802 is used for only insurance policies. Is it used for any other reason?

The 1802 does allow for wind ratings on non-glazed doors. The FBC does not mandate impact ratings for non-glazed doors outside the HVHZ. Look it up yourself.

Robert is saying ‘’'…protected or rated". That is sounding like he is saying that they do not have to be wind rated or impact protected.

And yet there are past posts on here about inspectors accepting a non-engineered strap retrofits because a third nail has now been added or some retrofit company says they are OK. Cant be one for one thing and another for the next item

Not really same. Straps/clips adding a nail is the proper manufacturers installation. Screwing shutters to a door slab do not

Do you have something in writing to back up that statement.

For the last 27 years which is when I started in the building business, holes have been place in a metal attachment for the purpose of a nail and now nails and special screws. This also goes for before my career. You can research if you like. Also remember the 1802 is solely used for insurance and nothing else that I know of. The form is very specific on what the requirements are as far as roof to wall attachment. As far as openings. An opening is an opening, not part of an opening. The form is also specific on rating requirements for opening protection.
