How to Measure a Garage Door Opening for a Perfect Fit

Measuring a garage door opening for a perfect fit means first checking the width inside the jambs at three points: top, middle, and bottom—use the narrowest measurement. Then measure the height from the floor to the top of the opening at left, center, and right, taking the shortest one. Also, note the backroom, or the space from the opening to the back wall—you need at least the door height plus 18 inches for the tracks. A tape measure, level, and notepad are all you need to avoid costly errors.
