8x7 roll-up door on a residential garage

    8x7 Roll-Up Door

    A standard single-car garage size offering reliable vehicle access for sedans, small SUVs, and compact trucks.

    Durable steel construction, multiple color options, and built for long-term performance.

    What Is a 8x7 Roll-Up Door?

    The 8x7 roll-up door provides an 8-foot wide by 7-foot tall opening — the entry-level standard for single-car residential garages. This size accommodates most sedans, small SUVs, and compact trucks while keeping the door footprint manageable.

    The 7-foot height is sufficient for standard passenger vehicles but may be tight for taller trucks and SUVs. If you need additional clearance for taller vehicles, consider the 8x8 or 9x8 sizes.

    TruGlide 8x7 doors feature a minimum .016" steel (27 gauge) curtain, 18 gauge galvanized tracks, and a torsion spring system designed for smooth, quiet residential operation.

    Headroom Requirements

    Roll-up doors require unobstructed space above the opening for the coil assembly.

    The 8x7 door requires approximately 18 inches of headroom above the opening.

    Roll-up doors require side clearance on both sides of the opening for guide installation.

    The 8x7 door requires 8 inches each side.

    Electric Openers & Operators

    Opener and operator details for the 8x7 roll-up door.

    Compatible Opener: EasyRoller 14

    The 8x7 door uses a 9.5-inch drum and is compatible with the EasyRoller 14 electric opener. The EasyRoller 14 is designed for doors 12 feet wide and smaller with 9.5-inch drums.

    Motor Installation

    Electric motors are typically installed on the right-hand side when standing inside the building looking outward. Installing on the opposite side can cause reverse operation and installer issues.

    Exterior Latches

    This door comes with one exterior latch on the right side. Additional exterior latches may be added by request at additional cost.

    Optional Door Upgrades

    Customize your door with additional features.

    Chain Hoist Operator

    A chain hoist operator can be added to smaller doors upon request. Adding a chain hoist removes exterior latches and changes the door to internal kick latches.

    Insulated Door Option

    Available with 2 mm foam insulation double-side taped to the door curtain, providing an approximate R-value of 1. Insulated doors include a header seal and side brush seals.

    The side brush seal holder is extruded at a 45-degree angle to keep the door sealed tightly and reduce air intrusion.
