8x8 roll-up door on a garage

    8x8 Roll-Up Door

    A popular single-car garage size with an extra foot of height for improved vehicle clearance and easier access.

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

    What Is a 8x8 Roll-Up Door?

    The 8x8 roll-up door provides an 8-foot wide by 8-foot tall opening — the same width as a standard single-car garage but with an additional foot of height for better clearance. This extra headroom makes a noticeable difference when parking SUVs, trucks with roof racks, or taller vehicles.

    This is one of our most popular residential sizes for homeowners who want a roll-up door that accommodates modern vehicles without the complexity and cost of a wider door. The square 8x8 format also works well for workshop access.

    Built with a minimum .016" steel (27 gauge) curtain and 18 gauge galvanized steel tracks, TruGlide 8x8 doors deliver smooth, quiet operation ideal for attached and detached residential garages.

    Electric Openers & Operators

    Opener and operator details for the 8x8 roll-up door.

    Compatible Opener: EasyRoller 14

    The 8x8 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.

    Optional Door Upgrades

    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.

    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.
