If you cannot determine the color code, it will be necessary to weigh the door.

Here is how to weigh the door:

1. Put the door in the up position and secure. The best way to secure the door in the up
position is to snap a vice grip under both the bottom rollers.
2. Remove the springs from the door.
3. For a one car opening, lower the door onto one bathroom scale in the center of the
door and read weight.

For a double door
(16 ft. wide or larger) use two bathroom scales. Locate the
scales two feet in from each side. Take the weight of both scales and add together
for door weight.
4. Measure door height. Standard height is 6 ft. 6 inches, or 7 ft. If your door is over
7 ft. high, call for pricing.
