Framing and Rough Opening Reference Guide


Proper framing is critical to a smooth and safe garage door installation. Below are general rough opening guidelines for standard door sizes. Contact us directly for specific requirements on non-standard sizes, commercial applications, or high-lift door systems.

  • Standard single door (8' x 7' or 9' x 7'): Rough opening width = door width + 3 inches; rough opening height = door height + 1.5 inches
  • Standard double door (16' x 7'): Rough opening width = door width + 3 inches; rough opening height = door height + 1.5 inches
  • Side room: Minimum 3.75 inches required on each side of the rough opening
  • Headroom: Minimum 12 inches required from the top of the rough opening to the ceiling (standard lift); more clearance required for high-lift or full-vertical-lift applications
  • Backroom: Minimum = door height + 18 inches for standard extension spring systems

For framing questions specific to your project or to request detailed installation specs, call our team directly. We are always happy to assist contractors in the planning phase to prevent costly surprises during installation.
