I am hoping to be able to do an 18x10 door and was wondering if that comes as a standard, and if not how much does it cost more or less for a specialized door size?

Hello, I am in Ohio, i bought a 16'7 garage door but I think I needed a 16 x 6'4". Should I cut the door or return it?

thanks for the post, very helpful! quick questions: for your 7-foot high garages I assume they are all made of four 21" tall panels. But what about 8-foot high garage doors? How often do you see four 24" panels vs two 21" plus three 18" panels?

[@doortodoordesign1055]

Usually it depends on the door you choose. Some doors are available in 4) 24" sections, others only offer 21" and 18" panels so you will see 21" top and bottom and 3) 18" sections in the middle for and 8' tall door. The Amarr Classica gives you 3) 32" sections for an 8' tall door.

Here most new builds are almost all 8x8, almost always 8’ high though regardless of width. If I’m replacing an old door they are pretty much always 7’ high. Seems like nowadays 8’ high is the way to go around here. I even did a 24’x 8’ the other day on a residential home, the doors seem to be getting bigger!

We're doing more and more 8' tall doors on new construction. Most of our business is replacing existing doors and the older homes here in the North East all have smaller doors. A lot of them under 7' tall and needing low headroom tracks.

I have a 16 wide that i am going to resize down to a 9 ft wide door so what would be the size. i need to make the opening before i install a new door ?

[@doortodoordesign1055]

The finished opening should be the size of the the door.

I want to build a walkout basement with a 9x8 garage door. How much height would a 8 foot door require to open correctly

[@doortodoordesign1055]

You can make just about anything work in some way. As much height as you can get is best but, if you can get 12" or more that's ideal!

I have two open space 8 ft hight x11ft-3 inches wide the next size is 8ft hight x 11 ft-5inches wide so what size I would need to for your knowledge.

[@doortodoordesign1055]

You want the door to be the exact size of the opening. You will need to ask the manufacturer to make custom width doors or build the sides in to a size that's available.
