How to Take Accurate Measurements for a Garage Door Opener Installation

Key Measurements

• Door height & width – Standard 7 ft vs. high-lift or oversized
• Headroom – At least 12 in. clear space above the door
• Door weight & material – Steel, wood, or insulated composite affects horsepower
• Usage frequency – Daily family traffic vs. occasional access

Quick Rule of Thumb

• Up to 350 lb → 1⁄2 HP belt- or chain-drive
• 350–500 lb → 3⁄4 HP belt- or direct-drive
• Over 500 lb / high-lift → 1 HP wall-mount or jackshaft

 Quick DIY Checklist in Plain English

• Grab your tape measure: Confirm 12 in. headroom and estimate door weight.
• Skim the buying guide: Match horsepower and pick belt, chain, or wall mount.
• Think smart: Add Wi-Fi control, battery backup, and UL 325 safety sensors.
• Install-day cheat sheet: Lay out tools; test auto-reverse with a 1-in. board.
