Picking a garage door starts with knowing the opening, and a sizes chart saves a lot of back-and-forth at the showroom. This set of 38 charts lays out standard single and double door dimensions, common width and height combinations, and the rough openings they call for. Homeowners planning a replacement, builders framing new construction, and remodelers can check the numbers before they order or cut.
The charts come as print-ready PDFs that open on any device and print sharp for the job site. Keep one on your phone for measuring and tape a copy in the garage while you work. There's nothing to install and nothing to sign up for. Download the chart that fits your project and measure twice before you buy.

Which format should I download?
The PDF format is ideal here because it preserves clean, print-ready layouts with precise measurements—essential for builders and contractors who may need to reference dimensions on-site. For homeowners, the PDF ensures easy sharing with installers or saving for future reference. If you need to annotate or customize sizes for a specific project, this format allows for quick printing without losing clarity.
How to use this Garage Door Sizes Chart template
How do I know if my garage door size is a standard or custom dimension?
Compare your rough opening measurements (width × height) to the standard sizes listed on the chart. If your numbers don’t match exactly, you’ll likely need a custom door. Measure from the inside edge of the header to the floor on both sides for accuracy.
Can I use these charts if I’m installing a side-hinged or overhead-door style?
These charts cover standard residential garage doors, including single and double-car models. Side-hinged doors may require different clearance measurements, so always cross-check with manufacturer specs. Overhead doors typically follow width/height standards but check for track or header requirements.
What should I do if my garage ceiling height doesn’t match the chart’s standard options?
If your ceiling is unusually high or low, you’ll need a custom-height door. The chart can still help estimate the closest standard size for pricing comparisons, but consult a local dealer to confirm availability and ensure proper spring/balance adjustments for non-standard heights.
