Are you thinking about replacing your garage door? One of the most important steps in this process is measuring your garage for a new door. A first-timer may feel overwhelmed by this task.
But don’t worry; I’m here to help! In this article, I’ll teach you how to measure your Garage door for a new door.
Importance of Measuring the Garage:
Measuring your garage for a new door is crucial because it ensures that you select the right size and style of door for your garage.
If you don’t measure your garage accurately, you could end up with a door that doesn’t fit properly, which can be costly and frustrating. A door that is too small or too large can lead to air leaks, security issues, and damage to your property.
What Is the Best Way to Measure a Garage Door?
Measure the width of your garage opening at its widest point and round up to the nearest inch.
Measure the height of your garage opening from the floor to the top of the opening at its highest point, and round up to the nearest inch.
Measure the distance from the opening to the nearest obstacle on each side to determine the required side room.
Measure the distance from the top of the opening to the ceiling or the lowest obstruction to determine the required headroom.
Ensure that the floor of your garage is level and free of any obstructions.
By following these steps, you can get accurate measurements to help you choose the right size and style for your garage door.
