Door Measurement Tool

Measuring your garage door opening helps us prepare your free estimate. Follow the steps and the diagram below, then fill out the form. Measure in feet and inches. If you have more than one garage door, measure each one and add the others under Additional information.

Not sure about a measurement? Make a note of it under Additional information and we can talk it through.

1. Close the garage door before you start, and use a sturdy step ladder for anything overhead.
2. Garage door width: measure across the finished opening, from one side to the other, at the widest point.
3. Garage door height: measure from the floor to the top of the finished opening.
4. Floor to ceiling: inside the garage, measure from the floor to the ceiling just inside the opening. Note any beams or pipes that hang lower.
5. Side room left and side room right: inside the garage, measure from each side of the opening to the nearest wall or obstruction.

Once you send the form, the office will get back to you to talk through your project and the next steps. Our office is open Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM.

If you would rather talk it through in person, our free in-home design consultation brings the options to you. You can also look at samples and literature in our showroom at 15 Corporate Drive in Clifton Park.

The width and height tell us what size garage door you need. Common sizes are 8 or 9 feet wide for a single car and 16 feet wide for two cars, usually 7 feet tall.

The space above and beside the opening matters too. A standard garage door needs room above the opening for the track and springs, usually about a foot, and some room on each side. If your garage has less room, low-headroom track systems are made for that.
