Description
Enhanced Design with Medium Rib Profile
The Fort Pro Medium Vertical steel side-hinged garage door combines the popular medium rib vertical design with reinforced panel construction for superior stability, strength and security. Featuring broader, more widely-spaced vertical ribs than the standard profile, this design creates a bolder visual statement whilst maintaining the classic vertical-planked aesthetic that complements both traditional and contemporary UK properties.
The medium rib profile provides enhanced structural integrity through deeper pressed lines that add significant panel rigidity, whilst the reinforced Fort Pro construction delivers professional-grade durability that exceeds standard single-skin specifications. This combination makes the door particularly well-suited to properties where a more pronounced vertical design is desired alongside enhanced performance characteristics.
Reinforced Panel Construction for Superior Performance
The Fort Pro Medium Vertical features reinforced panel construction that delivers exceptional stability and strength for residential applications. The reinforced steel panels combined with the medium rib profile create an exceptionally rigid door leaf that resists flexing, warping and impact damage, making this door ideal for busy family garages or properties in exposed locations.
The reinforced construction offers significant advantages: improved wind loading resistance, enhanced impact resistance for high-traffic garages, superior panel rigidity that maintains alignment over years of use, and professional-grade build quality that justifies the modest price premium over standard single-skin doors.

Additional Information
It is a fundamental condition of this guarantee that the product has been installed, maintained and serviced correctly and is used solely for the purpose for which it was designed.
Incorrect installation, maintenance and service will invalidate this warranty.
The door must be kept in a clean condition and free from impact damage.
Fort garage doors come with pull handles to the front panel as standard.
The pull handles are made using grade 304 Stainless steel for use externally and internally in heavily sanitised areas such as kitchens and washrooms.
Like all steel, failure to keep the item clean can cause surface blemishes and what looks like a major product failure and rusting.
You will often find marks appearing in the winter when the roads have been gritted, salt on the surface are all steel products arch enemy.
If your pull bars develop small blemished areas during December, January and February in particular then you should wash them off using cold water and washing up liquid, you can use a cream cleaner like CIF rubbed lightly to remove the blemishes.
If you have them appear it means you have salt on the surface and need to increase the frequency of the door washdown.
Please remember all stainless steel can blemish even knives and forks in a dishwasher because salt is used as a scrubbing agent, wiping blemishes off with a cloth is standard practice and you should treat the door bars the same, clean and wipe regularly.
If you live close to the sea or estuary you should apply a light oil after washing once a month to keep the item clean and fresh.
