Standard Residential Garage Door Sizes
The most common standard sizes for residential garage doors are:
- Single-Car Garage Doors:
- 8 feet wide x 7 feet high
- 9 feet wide x 7 feet high
- Double-Car Garage Doors:

However, it’s important to note that there can be variations, especially in custom homes or older properties.
If you’re unsure about the exact size of your garage door, you can measure it yourself or consult with a garage door professional.
When measuring your garage door, consider these points:
- Width: Measure the width between the side tracks.
- Height: Measure the height from the floor to the top of the opening.
- Thickness: Note the thickness of the door, as this will affect the type of hardware and insulation you can use.
By knowing the exact dimensions of your garage door, you can ensure that you purchase the correct size replacement parts or a new garage door.
