Step #1 Measure door opening 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.
Step #2 Measure for sideroom: 3-3/4" is required on each side for installation of the vertical track for standard extension spring and standard torsion spring.
Step #3 Measure area labeled “headroom” – distance between the top of the door opening (“ jamb header”) and the ceiling (or floor joist).
