How to Measure for a Perfect Garage Door Fit

Ensuring your new garage door fits flawlessly requires precise measurements.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
Essential Measurements:
- Width: Measure the inside width of the garage door opening at its widest point.
- Height: Measure the vertical distance from the floor to the top of the opening.
- Headroom: Measure the distance from the top of the door opening to the ceiling obstruction (e.g., joists, beams).
- Side Room: Measure the distance between the door opening and the nearest wall on each side.
- Backroom: Measure the distance from the inside of the door opening to the back wall.
Additional Considerations:
- Measure multiple times: Ensure accuracy by measuring each dimension at least twice.
- Consider obstructions: Check for any pipes, wires, or other obstacles that might affect the door's installation.
- Consult a professional: If you're unsure about the measurements or the installation process, consider hiring a professional to take accurate measurements.
Tips:
- Use a tape measure for precise measurements.
- Have someone help you for more accurate results.
- Take notes and photos of the measurements for reference.
By following these steps and providing accurate measurements, you'll ensure a perfect fit for your new garage door.
