FAQs Explained
What are standard garage door sizes?
The most common garage door sizes are 8–9 feet wide by 7–8 feet tall for single-car garages and 16 feet wide by 7 feet tall for two-car garages. Oversized or RV garage doors can be 10–12 feet wide and 12–14 feet tall.
Do I need a specific opener for an oversized garage door?
Yes. Larger or heavier garage doors, such as those for RVs or oversized garages, require heavy-duty openers like screw drive or reinforced chain drive systems to handle the additional weight and size.
Can I program a universal remote for any garage door size?
Most universal remotes work with major garage door opener brands, regardless of door size, as long as they are compatible by frequency and code type. Always check your opener’s manual or brand-specific compatibility guide.
How often should I lubricate my garage door?
Experts recommend lubricating garage door tracks, rollers, and hinges at least twice a year — more frequently for large or high-use doors. Proper lubrication reduces noise and prevents wear.
Why won’t my garage door close even though the opener works?
Misaligned safety sensors (safety eyes) are the most common reason a garage door won’t close. Check that the sensors are clean, facing each other, and correctly aligned — this applies to all garage door sizes.
Can I install a garage door opener myself, or should I hire a pro?
While experienced DIYers can install standard openers, larger or custom-sized garage doors often require professional installation to ensure proper tensioning, alignment, and safety compliance.
How do I manually open my garage door during a power outage?
Pull the emergency release cord to disconnect the opener from the door, then lift the door manually. Be cautious, especially with larger or heavier doors, as they can be difficult to manage without the opener’s support.
