Knowing the standard sizes of garage doors can save you money. Custom sizes are available but come with a custom price tag. Here are the industry standards.
Single Car Garage Doors
These are designed for one vehicle.
- Width: 8 feet, 9 feet (most common), or 10 feet.
- Height: 7 feet (standard) or 8 feet (for taller SUVs/trucks).
Double Car Garage Doors
These fit two vehicles side-by-side.
- Width: 16 feet (most common) or 18 feet.
- Height: 7 feet or 8 feet.
RV and Oversized Doors
For RVs, boats, or workshops.
- Width: 10, 12, or 14 feet.
- Height: 10 to 14 feet.
How to Measure
- Width: Measure the width of the finished opening (inside the jambs).
- Height: Measure from the floor to the bottom of the header.
- Headroom: Measure from the top of the door opening to the ceiling (you need 10-12 inches for standard tracks).
- Backroom: Measure the depth of the garage (door height + 18 inches).
Custom Sizes
If your opening is non-standard (e.g., an old carriage house with a 7’3” opening), Ez2Fix can order custom-sized doors to fit perfectly.
