Custom vs Standard Garage Doors

There are some standard sizes for garage doors, and if your garage opening match those sizes, so much the better. Standard sizes are cheaper and may help on possible future repairs…

Standard garage doors

Standard garage doors include:

7 feet height (2,44m)
Single car: 8x7, 9x7, 10x7 feet  (2.13x2.5, 2.75x2.5, 3x2.5 meters)
Double car (two car garages): 12x7, 14x7, 16x7, 18x7 feet  (3.65x2.5, 4.25x2.5, 4.88x2.5 meters)
Cart: 5x7; 6x7 feet (1.5x2.5, 2.13x2.5 meters)

8 feet (2,44 m) height is also very common, and may also be considered as standard.

Some manufacturers have some particular door garage models with their own standard width and height sizes.

Custom Size & Door Garages

If you need a garage door with non-standard sizes, that’s not a big problem: most manufacturers produce doors in custom widths with an additional up-charge. You just have to measure your opening and take the measurements to the manufacturer, or to a local specialized store (or a big chain as Lowe’s or Home Depots).
