FRA flood doors are permanent flood doors for severe flood conditions, delivering dependable, watertight protection while maintaining safe, everyday building access. Designed and manufactured to the highest performance standards, these doors support uninterrupted operations before, during, and after flood events. Permanent flood doors are ideally suited for commercial, industrial, municipal, critical-infrastructure, and high-value residential applications where regulatory compliance, occupant safety, and asset protection are equally important.
Flood doors provide always-on, passive flood protection – no manual deployment required. This means a fully accessible entry for occupants, staff, and emergency personnel at all times. Both the door and threshold are ADA-compliant, so code-compliant access is built in without any compromise to protection. Our flood doors meet local, state, and federal floodplain requirements, including NFIP, FEMA, and AHJ standards.
Nationwide installation support available, plus comprehensive step-by-step manuals covering installation, inspection, and long-term maintenance.

What makes FRA Flood Doors different from standard flood barriers?
FRA Flood Doors are permanently installed, passive flood protection, no manual deployment, temporary panels, or human intervention required. They’re independently tested to ANSI/FEMA standards and deliver up to 90% lower leakage than required, so you get certified performance built into your building every day.
Do FRA Flood Doors require any action before a flood event?
No. FRA Flood Doors are always in place and always active. Unlike deployable barriers, these doors provide continuous protection without any manual steps.
What water heights are FRA Flood Doors tested to?
Each door is independently witnessed and factory-tested at 4 ft and 10 ft water protection heights, confirming performance under significant flood load conditions.
Are FRA Flood Doors compliant with FEMA and NFIP requirements?
Yes. Every FRA Flood Door is professionally engineered to meet local, state, and federal floodplain regulations, including NFIP requirements, FEMA guidance, and authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) expectations, simplifying your permitting and plan review process.
Are FRA Flood Doors ADA compliant?
Yes. Both the door and threshold are designed to meet ADA accessibility requirements, ensuring safe and code-compliant entry for occupants, staff, and emergency personnel without sacrificing flood protection.
What properties are FRA Flood Doors best suited for?
FRA Flood Doors are ideal for commercial, industrial, municipal, critical infrastructure, and high-value residential properties, particularly where regulatory compliance, occupant safety, and asset protection are all priorities.
How does the perimeter gasket work, and why does it matter?
FRA Flood Doors use a continuous, one-piece perimeter gasket that seals the entire door assembly without mitered joints. This design is more reliable long-term, accommodates minor substrate or frame irregularities, and helps maintain a consistent watertight seal even in challenging site conditions.
Do FRA Flood Doors come with testing documentation?
Yes. Every unit is hydrostatically load-tested to ANSI/FEMA Approvals 2510-2020 Section 4.3.3, and complete testing documentation is provided to support inspections, certification reviews, and recordkeeping requirements.
How are FRA Flood Doors delivered and installed?
Doors arrive fully assembled from the factory with all authorized hardware, seals, and locksets already installed. This reduces installation complexity and shortens project timelines. FRA also provides nationwide installation support and comprehensive step-by-step manuals to guide correct installation, inspection, and long-term maintenance.
