How to Measure for a New Garage Door
Measuring accurately is essential when installing a new garage door to ensure a perfect fit, smooth operation, and avoid costly errors.
Start by measuring the width and height of the garage opening, then the side room (space on each side), headroom (space above the opening), and backroom (depth of the garage). Use a tape measure, ladder, and flashlight if needed, and record all measurements carefully. Check multiple spots and use the largest figures.
Accurate measurements are crucial for both standard and custom-sized doors, especially when installing track systems or automatic openers. If your space has unusual features or you're unsure, consulting a professional is recommended.
Choosing the correct garage door size based on your measurements helps with a hassle-free installation and long-term performance. Accurate measuring is the first step to enhancing your garage's function, security, and curb appeal.
