California's 80,000+ commercial and industrial buildings with overhead doors face the strictest fire safety and accessibility codes in the nation — compliance documentation isn't optional, it's the cost of doing business.

California requires a CSLB C-61/D-28 Door Systems specialty license for overhead door work exceeding $500 in combined labor and materials. Cal/OSHA enforces stricter workplace safety standards than federal OSHA, including specific requirements for spring-loaded door systems. California Fire Code (based on IFC with amendments) mandates annual inspection of fire-rated doors with documented compliance. Title 24 energy code requires insulated doors in conditioned spaces. ADA compliance for commercial doors is aggressively enforced.
