Use it in conjunction with the notes below to determine what size of door you require - whether you are fitting to an existing timber frame, or you are ordering a new steel or timber frame from us.
NOTES:
All garage door sizes published on this website are "nominal". The size given refers to the size of the opening through which the door will travel The actual size of the door itself will be slightly smaller in order to provide the clearance needed.
When measuring for your new door always measure the size of the opening and refer to the tables on the measure sheet to select the correct size of door. Do not measure the existing door.
When measuring the width and the height of the opening, always measure from more than one point, as the brickwork or timber frame may not be consistent.
