9x8 roll-up door on a residential garage building

    9x8 Roll-Up Door

    A wider residential garage size designed for full-size trucks, SUVs, and comfortable single-vehicle access with extra side clearance.

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

    What Is a 9x8 Roll-Up Door?

    The 9x8 roll-up door provides a 9-foot wide by 8-foot tall opening — one foot wider than a standard 8-foot garage door. That extra width makes a significant difference for full-size pickups, SUVs with mirrors extended, and vehicles with wider wheelbases.

    This size strikes an excellent balance between a standard residential door and a full 10-foot commercial opening. Homeowners who own full-size trucks or plan to use the space as a workshop often find the 9x8 to be the ideal size.

    TruGlide 9x8 roll-up doors are constructed with a minimum .016" steel (27 gauge) curtain and 18 gauge galvanized tracks, delivering the same commercial-grade build quality in a residential-friendly format.

    The 9x8 door requires 8 inches each side.

    Electric Openers & Operators

    Opener and operator details for the 9x8 roll-up door.

    Compatible Opener: EasyRoller 14

    The 9x8 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

    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.
