IDEAL Door MF Brochure

ITEMS NEEDED BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR GARAGE DOOR
MEASURING FOR YOUR DOOR
1. Measure existing door width and height in feet and inches.
This determines the size of door needed. The rough opening
should be the same size as the door.
Width: ____________________ Height: ____________________
2. Measure for sideroom: 3 3 / " is required on each side for
4
installation of the vertical track for standard extension or torsion
springs, or EZ-SET Torsion Spring. ®
Sideroom: __________________
3. Measure area labeled "headroom"— distance between the top of
the door opening ("jamb header") and the ceiling (or first
obstruction, ex: light fixture). 11" is required for standard
installation of extension springs; 12" on standard torsion springs
and EZ-SET Torsion Spring. If you have restricted headroom, ®
special hardware is available. Low headroom hardware is available
to reduce requirement to as low as 4 / " (minimum with standard
1
2
extension spring). EZ-SET Torsion Spring low headroom ®
requirement is 9 1 / ". Note: If door height extends above the
2
opening, the headroom measurement should be adjusted accordingly.

4. Measure area labeled "backroom"— distance is measured from the
garage door opening toward the back wall of the garage.
