A door that’s slightly too tall or too short won’t seal against the floor or sit properly in the frame, which can cause gaps, drafts, and uneven wear on the hardware.
- Case Study · Houston,
TX
Before anything was installed, Carlos measured the opening himself rather than relying on a nominal size. He checked the width, the height, and the headroom above the door, then looked at the condition of the framing the new door would attach to. The 16 ft width also meant the door would need solid support across the span, so he confirmed the track and hardware setup before moving on.
- The Problem
The homeowner needed a new garage door for a wide opening, and the job came with a detail that matters: 6.6 feet is not the usual 7 ft height. Doors in this size aren’t always the easy pick from a standard lineup, and ordering one that’s off by even an inch or two leads to gaps, rubbing, or a door that won’t seal properly. The goal was a door that fit the opening exactly and looked right on the front of the house.
- Final Outcome
The homeowner now has a clean white 16 x 6.6 ft garage door that fits the opening without gaps and moves evenly along its full width. The white finish gives the front of the house a brighter, more finished look, and the new hardware makes daily use quiet and simple. Carlos completed the installation in Houston, and the homeowner can rely on the door for years of regular use.

Yes. A 16 ft door carries more weight across a longer span, so the track, hinges, and tension need to be set correctly to keep it moving evenly.
Most installations are completed in a single visit, depending on the door size and the condition of the existing frame and hardware.
In many cases, yes. The opener is checked during the installation to confirm it can handle the weight of the new door and still run smoothly.
