Garage Door Rough Closing

A garage door system has two major parts.

Garage door rough closing.

Garage door openers manufactured after 1993 include sensors to prevent a door from closing on a child or pet. If this is going to be a problem i guess we could lower the height of the opening for the door 6 and use a 7 6 high garage door. I get calls on a regular basis from customers that are closing in carport or extending the size of their garage doors. Movement of the door is controlled by the lift motor and is driven by either screw actuators or a chain.

They often want to know what the rough opening should be for the door that they should order. Does 15 leave enough room for the door tracks and a center mount chain driven electric door opener. If you garage door is lowering then reversing back to the open position there could. Knowing garage door clearance requirements will help you avoid ordering the wrong garage door set up for your needs.

In this post i would like to discuss how to measure for a new garage door. Garage doors use either torsion springs or extension springs to raise and lower the door. All of the rough framing has just been completed. Several garage door people have told me they want 18.

There is the door itself and the opener.
