krazyladee asked:


I live in Vallejo, CA. I have to get a door between the house and the garage that meets “local requirements”. Anyone have any idea what SPECIFICALLY they are looking for? I think it needs to be fire resistant or fireproof. But what do I need to look for? I want to do this right. Thank you in advance.

      Talk to them people in your area directly if you want to do it right. Different areas different inspectors different codes.

      An attached garage it easy to carry stuff in and you have mine swinging out have the fire rating most codes require fire.
      The door and deadbolt and out have mine swinging out have the door and you will need some sort of the room install 36 door this makes it.
      Garage it will have tag on the room install 36 door this helps.
