Step-by-Step Guide to Measuring Your Garage Door
1. Measure the Width of the Opening
- Use a tape measure to measure the width of the garage door opening from one side to the other.
- Measure at the widest point and take the measurement in feet and inches.
- Record this measurement as the "Width."
2. Measure the Height of the Opening
- Measure the height of the garage door opening from the floor to the top of the opening.
- Measure at the highest point and take the measurement in feet and inches.
- Record this measurement as the "Height."
3. Measure the Sideroom
- The sideroom is the space on the left and right side of the garage door opening.
- Measure from the edge of the opening to the nearest obstruction, such as a wall.
- Record the measurement for both sides separately.
- Ensure there is enough sideroom for the installation of the vertical tracks.
4. Measure the Headroom**
- Headroom is the space between the top of the garage door opening and the ceiling or the lowest obstruction above the opening.
- Measure from the top of the opening to the ceiling or obstruction.
- Record this measurement to ensure there is sufficient space for the installation of the torsion spring or extension spring system.
5. Measure the Backroom
- Backroom is the distance from the garage door opening to the back wall of the garage.
- Measure from the opening to the back wall, ensuring there is enough space for the door to fully open.
- Record this measurement to ensure the garage door will fit and operate correctly.
Additional Tips for Accurate Measurements
- Double-check your measurements: Always measure twice to ensure accuracy.
- Use a sturdy tape measure: A reliable tape measure will give you the most precise measurements.
- Record measurements clearly: Write down all measurements clearly to avoid confusion during the ordering process.
