garage door. Take these
measurements to your local retailer to

Step #2
Measure for sideroom: 3-3/4" is required on each side for installation of the vertical
track for standard extension spring, standard torsion spring and EZ-SET Torsion
Spring System, 5-1/2" for EZ-SET Extension Spring System.
Step #3
Measure area labeled “headroom” – distance between the top of the door opening
(“jamb header”) and the ceiling (or floor joist). 10" is required for the standard
extension spring or EZ-SET Extension Spring System. 12" is required for standard
torsion spring and EZ-SET Torsion Spring System. If you have restricted headroom,
special hardware is available. Additional headroom is required for installation of an
automatic garage door opener.
NOTE: If door height extends above the opening, the headroom measurement
should be adjusted proportionately.
Step #4
Measure area labeled “backroom” – distance is measured from the garage door
opening toward the back wall of the garage. Door height plus 18" is required.
Additional back room may be required for installation of an automatic garage door
opener.
