I AM CONSTRUCTING A NEW GARAGE; WHAT SIZE SHOULD THE ROUGH OPENING FOR MY GARAGE DOOR BE?
Depending on the type of construction, the finished opening should be the same size as the door you wish to purchase. The door fits against the opening from the inside. The rough opening should be finished with an exterior perimeter seal or stop molding to seal out rain and wind. For more information, please refer to the Preparing the Opening file listed on our Installation Manual. Doors mounted to steel jambs are typically ordered 2” wider than the finished opening to allow for side seal application
