"Hi. This is Jon. And, in this clip we'll be measuring our door. When installing our new door, we first need to get a couple measurements off of our current door. So, that when we go to our home store we know which one to buy. And, the customer service at our home store is more able to help us in determining which one we want to buy. The first measurement that we're going to take is a vertical measurement of the door. Now, a typical door will have a height measurement of about six foot eight inches. Next, we need to take a width measurement of our door. And, a typical width measurement will be about thirty-two inches for a garage entry door. And, once we get those measurements then we can go into our home store and we can purchase the right size door. Now, I've chosen a typical six panel door. There are many different styles to choose from. And, it's really up to your preference which one to buy."
