How to measure for a new garage door: St. Mary's County MD

Ensuring your new garage door fits flawlessly requires precise measurements.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

Essential Measurements:

1. Width: Measure the inside width of the garage door opening at its widest point. 
2. Height: Measure the vertical distance from the floor to the top of the opening. 
3. Headroom: Measure the distance from the top of the door opening to the ceiling obstruction (e.g., joists, beams).
4. Side Room: Measure the distance between the door opening and the nearest wall on each side.
5. Backroom: Measure the distance from the inside of the door opening to the back wall.

Additional Considerations:

• Measure multiple times: Ensure accuracy by measuring each dimension at least twice.
• Consider obstructions: Check for any pipes, wires, or other obstacles that might affect the door's installation.
• Consult a professional: If you're unsure about the measurements or the installation process, consider hiring a professional to take accurate measurements.

Tips:

• Use a tape measure for precise measurements.
• Have someone help you for more accurate results.
• Take notes and photos of the measurements for reference.

By following these steps and providing accurate measurements, you'll ensure a perfect fit for your new garage door.
