I live in northern new jersey.
Modify garage door height taller door in a shorter opening.
Double car garage doors typically start at 12 feet wide and move.
So if you have a 7 foot tall garage door the depth of your garage shouldn t be shorter than 7 and a 1 2 feet.
I had a 2x6 on the flat under the header so i just removed that and cut a half inch off the header.
The garage is a total of 24 wide by 24 deep.
If your home can accommodate a larger garage door and you d like one make sure to get a track extension kit with your garage door opener.
Each garage door opener has limits which control the opening and closing heights of the door.
Travel trailer also come in smaller sizes and they may need smaller door.
We had a few contractors in to give us.
Standard single car garage door widths start at 8 feet for single car garages and move up in 12 inch increments to 10 feet wide.
With this kind of width and height dimension you would need garage of around 12 feet width and 12 feet of height door.
I removed some siding and and re did the trim on the top of the door and then recovered every thing with aluminum and installed new rubber garage door sill around the opening.
Garage doors are very easy to adjust and can be done in less than 15 minutes.
The garage also needs a new floor and a new roof.
It has the old style carriage doors.
These limits must be set correctly for the door height to have a proper seal as well as to allow for adequate clearance.
The depth of your garage can be no less than 6 inches taller than your garage door.
That made my door height two inches taller.
