Measuring your garage door accurately is crucial when it comes to purchasing a new door or making repairs.

Width: Measure the width of the opening at the widest point. Take measurements at the top, middle, and bottom of the opening to account for any irregularities. Use the largest measurement as your width.

Height: Measure the height of the opening from the floor to the underside of the header or ceiling. Again, take measurements at multiple points to ensure accuracy, and use the largest measurement as your height.

Depth: Measure the depth of the opening from the inside face of the door to the back of the garage. This is essential if you’re considering adding insulation or if there are space constraints inside the garage.

Headroom: Measure the distance from the top of the opening to the ceiling or overhead structure. This is important for determining the type of garage door opener you can install.

Side Room: Measure the distance from each side of the opening to the nearest wall or obstruction. This helps ensure that the tracks and hardware have enough space to operate properly.

By following these steps and accurately measuring your garage door, you can ensure that any replacement or repair work is done correctly and that your new door fits perfectly.
