About the Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855
The 8855 is Wayne Dalton's wind-load-certified aluminum glass door — same contemporary aesthetic as the 8800 line, but with the aluminum framework and glass upgraded to meet coastal hurricane wind-load codes. In Arizona, that means a real margin against monsoon straight-line winds — worth considering on exposed lots in Fountain Hills, Cave Creek, and hilltop north Scottsdale sites.
As a local Wayne Dalton dealer, our team at Farnsworth Garage handles the measurement, the install, and the follow-up. We install Wayne Dalton across Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, Tempe, and the greater Phoenix area.

Key Features
Wind-Load Code Certified
Hurricane-rated aluminum framework and reinforced glass — meaningfully stronger than a standard full-view door under high-wind conditions.
Contemporary Full-View Aesthetic
Same modern look as the 8800 line — you don't sacrifice design for wind rating.
Multiple Glass and Frame Finishes
Anodized (clear, bronze) and powder-coat frame options; clear, tinted, and insulated glass.
TorqueMaster Plus Spring System
Enclosed spring — the safety story matters more on a glass door.
Construction & Insulation
- Anodized or powder-coated aluminum framework (rails and stiles).
- Multiple glass options — clear, obscure, frosted, tinted, insulated dual-pane.
- TorqueMaster Plus enclosed spring system.
Panel Styles
Wayne Dalton offers this collection in more than one panel design. When we quote the door for your home in Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, or anywhere in the Phoenix area, we'll bring physical samples so you can see how each panel design reads against your stucco and trim in Arizona daylight.
Window & Glass Options
Windows are the design choice that changes a garage door most. Wayne Dalton offers a deep catalog of insert styles and glass finishes for this collection — arched toppers, rows of small panes, clean modern grids, tinted or privacy glass. We'll bring the window brochure and physical glass samples to your Phoenix-area consultation so you can see exactly how the finished door will look before you commit.
Glass Types & Tints
Color Options
Wayne Dalton factory-bakes these finishes onto the steel — a different animal than any painted-on-site touch-up. That matters in Arizona, where UV and heat chew up field paint fast.
Anodized Finishes

Why Farnsworth is Your Local Wayne Dalton Installer
Farnsworth Garage Door Service is an active local Wayne Dalton dealer serving Mesa and the greater Phoenix area, and every install is handled by our in-house install team — not sub-contracted out. We carry Arizona ROC license #351810 and full commercial insurance, and our office answers the phone locally — no call-center runaround, no offshore booking system.
Because we install Wayne Dalton doors as our day job, our team knows the quirks of every collection — the exact WindTough spec new Queen Creek and Maricopa builds require, the right insulation tier for a west-facing Scottsdale garage, which decorative hardware clears a low-headroom opening. When you buy a Wayne Dalton door from Farnsworth, you get a local installer who has installed the same collection dozens of times.
How the Install Works
-
Free in-home consultation
A Farnsworth installer comes to your home with physical color samples, walks the opening, and hands you a written quote — no obligation, no pressure.
-
Precise measurement
We measure the width, height, headroom, and side-room of your existing opening to spec the exact door build for your home — no surprises on install day.
-
Removal & haul-away of your old door
On install day our team removes your old door, cleans up the driveway, and hauls the old sections away. It's always included in the written quote — never a separate line item.
-
New Wayne Dalton door installation
Farnsworth's in-house install team sets your new Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 — track, torsion, panels, opener drawback, and safety-sensor alignment. No sub-contractors.
-
Final tuning & walkthrough
Balance check, tension set, and a walkthrough of how your new door and opener work — remote, keypad, safety reverse, and manual release.
After the Install
Farnsworth doesn't disappear after install day. If something needs adjusting — a track alignment, a rattle, an opener travel-limit tweak — give us a call and we come back out. We offer courtesy tune-ups to keep the door running quietly, and we handle warranty service for both the Wayne Dalton door itself and the install workmanship. If a part needs replacing under warranty, we coordinate the claim with Wayne Dalton for you.
That's the "buy with confidence" side of buying from a local dealer instead of a national chain: one number to call for service, one team that knows your install, one relationship. Most of our Wayne Dalton installs turn into repeat customers — opener replacements, second-door installs, and the referrals that follow.
Farnsworth installs Wayne Dalton Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 across the Phoenix metro: Mesa (home base), Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek, Tempe, Phoenix, Fountain Hills, Apache Junction, Gold Canyon, San Tan Valley, Maricopa, and Guadalupe.

Common Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 Configurations
Most of the Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 installs we do across Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, Tempe, and the wider Phoenix area fall into one of these two openings. Yours might be different — we measure at the free in-home consultation and quote the exact size for your home.
Two-car Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 install
Approx. 16' wide × 7' or 8' tall
The single 16-foot two-car door is the most common configuration on Phoenix-area homes. On a two-car Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855, we recommend the top-tier 8855 build with insulated laminated glass and full WindTough reinforcement for any attached garage — the extra insulation makes a real difference on the wall the garage shares with your bedroom or living room. Wind Load Aluminum 8855 frame with full-glazed insulated glass and WindTough struts scales cleanly across the wider opening, and you can dial in the exact color and glass tint, glazing (laminated or insulated), and wind-load rating that matches your home. Two-car openings are also the sweet spot for the WindTough reinforcement upgrade — the added bracing costs less on a single wide door than doubling it up across two smaller openings.
One-car Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 install
Approx. 8' or 9' wide × 7' tall
Common on townhomes, casita conversions, and homes with a two-single-door layout instead of one wide door. For a one-car Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855, a Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 build with WindTough reinforcement and your chosen glass tint is the practical default — enough performance for an attached garage without paying for the top-tier build on a smaller door. Same Wind Load Aluminum 8855 frame with full-glazed insulated glass and WindTough struts, same color palette, same warranty as the two-car version — just a narrower opening.
Replace, Upgrade, or New Construction
We install the Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 across three scenarios most homeowners in the Phoenix area come to us for — whether you're replacing a door that's finally given up, upgrading from a builder-grade panel, or specifying doors on new construction.
Replace an aging door with the Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855
Your existing door is 15-30 years old, the panels are dented or faded, the springs are cycling through their last thousand openings, and the annual repair calls are stacking up. We remove the old door, hardware, and tracks, install the new Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 with all-new hardware, re-set the torsion springs to the correct IPPT for the door weight, program your existing opener (or install a new one), and haul the old door away the same day. Free written quote on the front end, local Wayne Dalton dealer relationship on the back end.
Upgrade to the Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855
You're moving from a stock full-view door on a premium build whose owner wants storm-rated construction — the Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 is Wayne Dalton's answer for wind-zone code compliance in a glass-forward door — the pick for Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Maricopa, and I-10 monsoon-corridor builds where the door has to look modern and hold up in a monsoon. Your upgrade path also includes insulated laminated glass and the WindTough reinforcement package — the tier we specify most often on attached Phoenix-area garages because the thermal payback shows up on every July and August electric bill.
New construction Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855
Building a new custom home or handling a major renovation? Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 factory lead time is 3-5 weeks factory-direct because every 8855 is built to your specific wind-load spec, so we build the order timing into your construction schedule. Rough-opening walkthrough before drywall, coordinated install once the door opening is dried in, and we work directly with builders and owners across Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, Tempe, and the wider Phoenix area.
How Much Does an Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 Cost, and What Determines the Price?
Every Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 we install in the Phoenix area is custom-configured to your specific home, so there isn't a single sticker price we can post that will actually match the door you end up with. What we can tell you is exactly what moves the number — six factors, in plain English, so you can walk into the conversation with your eyes open instead of guessing at online ranges from companies that have never seen your opening.
Rather than a generic range that won't match your home, we send a local Wayne Dalton dealer out to your driveway, measure your opening, walk you through the panel, insulation, color, window, and hardware choices, and hand you a written itemized quote. Free, no obligation, no pressure. Here are the six inputs we work through together.
The installed price on any Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 in Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, Tempe, and the wider Phoenix area depends on the six factors below. We walk each one with you in person and put the result in writing.
Size
Door size
Single-car, double-car, and oversized openings each carry their own material and hardware footprint — the single biggest driver of installed price.
Insulation
Insulation tier
Single-, double-, or triple-layer construction. Higher tiers cost more up front and pay back all summer in cooler garages across Mesa, Phoenix, and Chandler.
Windows
Window options
The number of windows, glass style, and upgrades like Frost, Dark Tint, obscure texture, or insulated glazing all shift the number on your quote.
Hardware
Decorative hardware
Optional handles, straps, and hinges dial up curb appeal — they're a la carte, so you only pay for the pieces you actually want on the door.
Wind Load
Wind-load reinforcement
Wayne Dalton's WindTough upgrade for Arizona monsoon straight-line winds, HOA architectural standards, or homeowners insurance requirements adds material to the build.
Included
Removal & haul-away
Farnsworth's written quote always includes removing your old door, cleaning up your driveway, and hauling the old sections away — not a separate line item.
HOA & architectural approval ready. Wayne Dalton's carriage-house designs are widely accepted in Arizona HOA communities — Silverleaf, DC Ranch, McDowell Mountain Ranch, Verde River, Val Vista Lakes, Power Ranch, Morrison Ranch, and more. Farnsworth handles your architectural review paperwork if your HOA requires it.
Storm-Rated for Arizona Monsoon Season
Wayne Dalton's WindTough reinforcement is available on the Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855. Arizona monsoon straight-line winds through July, August, and September put unreinforced garage doors at real risk of blowing in or off track — and a blown-in door turns a small repair into a house-scale one. WindTough adds internal struts, reinforced hinges, and a stronger track system that raises the door's wind-load rating to meet Maricopa County building codes for the zones that require it — especially newer builds in Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Maricopa, and along the I-10 monsoon corridor.
There's also an insurance angle worth checking. Many Arizona homeowners insurance carriers offer discounts for wind-load-rated garage doors — worth a call to your carrier before you finalize the build. Ask about WindTough when you request your free quote and Farnsworth's install team will confirm the exact spec your neighborhood requires.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 cost, installed?
Every Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 quote depends on your exact opening size, insulation level, window package, and paint color. Call Farnsworth for a written quote — we walk your opening, confirm size and configuration, and give you a firm number in writing before any commitment.
How long does it take to get a Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 installed?
Standard configurations of the 8855 typically arrive in 1-3 weeks after order. Custom colors, oversized openings, and premium options can extend that to 3-4 weeks. Wayne Dalton custom wood is 4-8 weeks. We confirm the exact lead time in the written quote.
Does Farnsworth finance Wayne Dalton doors?
Yes — we work with financing partners for whole-door replacements. Ask about it when we send your written quote and we'll walk you through the options.
Will homeowner's insurance cover replacing my garage door with a Wayne Dalton?
If the current door was damaged by a covered peril (vehicle impact, monsoon wind, hail), most policies will cover replacement. We coordinate with your adjuster on documentation. Age-related failure isn't a covered peril.
How does the Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 hold up in Arizona heat?
The factory-baked paint finish holds up better than any field spray, and the sections are built for the Arizona thermal cycle. We install Wayne Dalton across Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, and the Phoenix area — this line is our most-quoted full-view option.
Where can I buy a Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 in the Phoenix area?
Farnsworth Garage is a local Wayne Dalton dealer. We measure, quote, install, and service Wayne Dalton across Mesa (our home base), Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, Tempe, Fountain Hills, and the greater Phoenix area.
Should I replace my old door with a Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855?
If your current door is a hollow builder-grade panel, an uninsulated steel door, or a warped/delaminating wood door, the Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 is a real upgrade in insulation, safety (TorqueMaster spring), and curb appeal. We give you an honest read on whether repair or replacement makes more sense at the walkthrough.
Is the Wayne Dalton Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855 good for new construction?
Yes — we install Wayne Dalton on new-construction homes across the Phoenix area. If you're mid-build, coordinate the door spec with your builder early so opening framing, jamb depth, and finish materials line up with the Wind Load Aluminum Glass 8855's requirements.
Why Choose Farnsworth for Your Wayne Dalton Install
Local Mesa-based family business
Brigham and Riley Farnsworth run the company — brothers, both hands-on in the field and the office. The Farnsworth family name has been part of the East Valley business community for 60+ years, so you're hiring people whose reputation actually lives in these neighborhoods.
Local Wayne Dalton dealer
Farnsworth is an active local Wayne Dalton dealer serving Mesa and the greater Phoenix area. Every Wayne Dalton door we install is ordered factory-direct through our dealer account — no third-party distributor, no rotating retailer, no sub-contracted install crew.
Multi-brand dealer
We're dealers for Clopay, Wayne Dalton, and Invicta — three of the top residential garage door manufacturers in North America. That means we recommend the door that actually fits your home, not the one brand we're forced to push. If a different manufacturer is the better call for your project, we'll tell you.
Free written quote, no pressure
Every Wayne Dalton consultation is free. We measure your opening, bring physical color samples out to your home so you can hold them against your stucco and trim in real Arizona light, and hand you a written itemized quote before you commit to anything.
Own the whole workflow, end to end
Measurement, factory order, install-day coordination, and after-install warranty support all live under our roof. The team that measures your opening is the team installing your door and the team you call if anything ever needs adjusting. No subcontractors, no rotating crews, no handoffs.
We service what we install
A garage door is a 20-year relationship, not a one-and-done sale. Farnsworth stays your service company for the life of the door — tune-ups, spring replacements, opener repairs, warranty claims. One number to call, one team that knows your install.
Licensed, insured, background-checked
Arizona ROC-licensed (License #351810), fully insured, and every crew member is background-checked before they set foot on your driveway. Not the license number of a national franchise — our own name on the license, our own team on the truck.

Financing available
Buy the garage door you actually want — not the one that fits this month’s cash on hand.
Farnsworth offers flexible financing on every install and repair job over $500, across all four brands we carry — so you can pick the exact door, insulation tier, hardware, and windows you’d choose if budget wasn’t in the way.
Most homeowners qualify with a soft credit check that doesn’t affect your credit score. Fill out our short financing application — takes about two minutes to submit — and you’ll know your approval and monthly payment options before you finalize your quote. No pressure, no obligation.
