Explanation:
Width Options:
Single doors usually come in 8 ft or 9 ft widths. A 10 ft option is also common for added clearance.
Double doors are typically 16 ft wide, though 14 ft and 18 ft options exist depending on garage design and driveway size.
Height Options:
Standard height is 7 ft, but 8 ft is increasingly common, especially for modern homes or homes with high ceilings.
Taller openings (10–14 ft) are used for RVs, boats, or in homes with larger utility needs.
Pro Tip
Always measure your garage opening before purchasing a new door. The ‘rough opening’ is usually the same as the door size, but trim and framing can affect fit.
