When it comes to measuring the height of a garage door, it’s important to take into account the entire door, including the doorframe, tracks, and opener. The standard height for a residential garage door is 7 feet, however, most residential garages are 8 feet tall, which increases the total height of the door to 9 feet.
When measuring the height of the door, you’ll need to measure from the bottom of the door to the highest point of the doorframe. To get an accurate measurement, you’ll need to double check the measurement at all points around the door. It’s also important to take into account any obstructions that may be in the way, such as gutters or roof overhangs.
You’ll also want to take into account any additional insulation that may be applied to the door. Insulated garage doors are typically thicker than non-insulated doors, so they will add to the overall height of the door. If you are planning to add insulation, make sure to measure the door height with the insulation applied.
When measuring the height of the door, make sure to take into account the floor of the garage as well. If the floor is uneven or if there are any obstructions, such as a raised threshold, you’ll need to account for them in the measurement. Otherwise, the door may not fit properly.
Finally, you’ll need to take into account the size of the garage door opener. Most garage door openers are designed to fit a standard-sized door, but if you are installing a larger door, you may need to purchase a larger opener. Make sure to measure the height of the door with the opener installed in order to get an accurate measurement.
