How to Measure for Your Wayne-Dalton Garage Door

Corporate (7/2/2008)

Wayne-Dalton makes installation safe and simple. The easier it is to install your garage door, the more likely it is that your door will be installed correctly for years of superior operation. Though it is not a requirement, measuring your garage door before you first speak to your distributor will save you valuable time.

You can refer to the diagram below for help in sketching a diagram of your own garage. Find the following measurements to the closest fraction of an inch. Write the number down next to the corresponding area in the diagram of your garage.

		1.	Exact finished opening width
		2.	Exact finished opening height
		3.	Sideroom - distance from edge of opening to any wall or other obstruction
		4.	Headroom - distance from top of finished opening to ceiling or underside of joists
		5.	Depth into room - distance from finished opening to back point where hardware or the automatic operator will extend.

IMPORTANT: Consult your local authorized Wayne-Dalton outlet for your special needs.
