| Windload Blowout/Replacement Policy
|
| It
is the responsibility of the installing Asta Door Corporation
Dealer to obtain
all pertinent information
regarding a blown out door, so Asta can determine whether there
was product failure, or if wind gust exceeded
the windload specified for the particular door in question. |
|
- Your
initial contact should be with Asta Customer Service
Department.
- Provide
pictures of the inside and outside of the door showing
guides and fasteners.
- Provide
a letter from the closest airport stating the wind
gusts the day of the blowout.
- Provide
the invoice number, job name, and address.
- Any
emergency door built for the customer to close the opening
will be invoiced at normal
price. If it is
determined there was product failure, the customer
will be credited for the
door. There will be no credit for labor.
