How to Measure a Garage Door

Please use the drawing and instructions below to measure your garage door. Take these measurements to your local retailer or Acrosstown Door Service to purchase a garage door. We are happy to take these measurements for you, just give us a call!

Step #1 Measure door opening width and height in feet and inches. This determines the size of door needed. The rough opening should be the same size as the door.

Step #2 Measure for sideroom: 3-3/4″ is required on each side for installation of the vertical track for standard extension spring and standard torsion spring.

Step #3 Measure area labeled “headroom” – distance between the top of the door opening (“ jamb header”) and the ceiling (or floor joist).
