How to Measure up for your Purpose Made Garage Door
Remember Measure Twice - Order Once!
If you are replacing an existing garage door that is not a standard size or you are building your garage from scratch you may need a made to measure door.
First you must decide whether you are going to retain your existing frame or whether you would like your new garage door to be supplied in a factory steel or GRP frame that will fix directly to the brickwork.
If you are retaining your existing frame, measure the internal dimensions of the frame. Make sure the frame is sound, square and securely fixed to the brickwork. Also ensure that the timber is the recommended size of 75mm x 75mm (3" x 3"). Always measure from more than one point as the brickwork or timber frame may not be consistent.
If you would like your new garage door to come with a factory frame, measure the brickwork to brickwork width of your opening. To measure the height of your opening, measure from the floor to the underside of the lintel.
When measuring your new door always measure the opening size and not the size of your existing door as manufacturer's dimensions differ.
Garage door dimensions do not allow for any fitting tolerances, such as uneven brickwork or floor finishes. First remove any existing timber frame and make good any damaged brickwork. Always measure from more than one point as the brickwork may not be consistent.
Take the measurement across the opening in 3 separate places, i.e. top, middle and bottom. Do the same for the height by taking measurements on the left, centre and right. Double check all your measurements.
The Garage Door Co cannot accept any liability for inaccurate measurements that you have provided for your order. If you are unsure contact us for a survey.
Once the order for your garage door has been placed with the manufacturers it may not be possible to alter sizes. Once the door has been manufactured, measurements cannot be altered and refunds will not be considered under any circumstances. If you would prefer to have a survey by our trained professionals please contact us.
All garage door sizes shown are nominal, the size stated refers to the size of the opening through which the garage door travels. In order to provide the necessary clearance, the true size for the door itself is smaller.
