DO NOT

 completely weather seal this door!   Vent according to local building codes.

CAUTION!

 Low levels of carbon monoxide in the garage and home can cause headaches 

and flu-like symptoms. Additional venting may be required to help reduce the health risks 
associated with combustible fuels and noxious fumes.

The insulation 

used in Martin Doors comply with all known building codes.   It

 

has been 

tested and approved by Omega Point Laboratories and meets the UBC-26-8 standard for 
smoke and flame spread. The insulation is removable and reusable which helps the 
environment by reducing landfill waste!

Martin 

regular and insulated door sections are rated among the most dent resistant in the 

world. They do not require insulation bonded to them for strength.   Because of this unique 
construction it may not be necessary to replace a door section or a complete door to avoid 
the prolonged   appearance of a damaged surface. For dent repair see page 18.

The Martin Warranty

 is to the original owner. Lifetime ltd. for most residential doors (12 year 

ltd. on Montana). Six Year ltd. for commercial, rentals, and 5 yr. on wood doors. Replacement 
part shipping and labor costs are not included. Springs have life cycle limits.   

Note: with 

proper care and maintenance all Martin Doors (except springs) are designed to last a 
lifetime.

 Contact your Martin Dealer for details on the full written warranty and limitations.
