MEASURING FOR YOUR DOOR

1.Measure existing door 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.

Width: ____________________ Height: ____________________

2.Measure for sideroom: 3 3/4 " is required on each side for installation of the vertical track for standard extension or torsion springs, or EZ-SET®Torsion Spring.

Sideroom: __________________

3.Measure area labeled “headroom”— distance between the top of the door opening (“jamb header”) and the ceiling (or first obstruction, ex: light fixture). 11" is required for standard installation of extension springs; 12" on standard torsion springs and EZ-SET®Torsion Spring. If you have restricted headroom, special hardware is available. Low headroom hardware is available to reduce requirement to as low as 41/2" (minimum with standard extension spring). EZ-SET®Torsion Spring low headroom requirement is 91/2". Note: If door height extends above the opening, the headroom measurement should be adjusted accordingly. Existing headroom: ___________

Headroom needed: ___________

4.Measure area labeled “backroom”— distance is measured from the garage door opening toward the back wall of the garage. Backroom: __________________

Common garage door widths include 8', 9', 16' and 18'. Common garage door heights include 7' and 8'. See Menards Team Member for additional size availability.

NOTE: On 8' and 9' wide doors, a reinforcement strut must be purchased if an automatic garage door opener is installed.

The majority of homes today have automatic garage door openers. Therefore, Ideal doors do not include a lock. If desired, an easy-to-install, heavy-duty, keyed lock is available.
