The garage door frame plays a huge role in making sure your actual door is aligned properly. If you want to make sure that your door can operate smoothly without any problems, then a well-installed solid frame is part of that answer.
Makes It More Secure
A frame is just as important as your garage door if you want to make sure that your garage is properly secured. A broken, damaged, or flimsy frame can be something that intruders will exploit when trying to break in.

Just like garage door seals, the frames are also important if you don’t want your temperature leaking out. Without a proper frame, it makes your garage struggle to maintain it’s temperature, making your house work harder to keep it cool or warm. This results in more expensive energy bills, which no one wants.

The framing doesn’t only protect your garage, but it helps your garage door too. Proper framing shields your garage door from moisture, debris, and weather damage, prolonging its lifespan.

A lot of people neglect or forget about their garage door frame when it comes to curb appeal. If your garage door is looking great but your frame is looking worn out, it can really mess up the whole look that you’re going for.

Got Questions?
We’ve Got Answers!
What is the correct garage door framing?
Correct garage door framing ensures that the structure surrounding the door is perfectly aligned and strong enough to support the door’s weight and function. A well-framed door frame includes precise measurements to accommodate the door itself, as well as enough space for proper clearance and operation. Our team at Berintek specializes in custom framing solutions tailored to your garage door’s size and style.
What wood to use for a garage door frame?
The best wood for a garage door frame is typically douglas fir or pressure-treated lumber, which offer excellent durability and strength. Douglas fir is a popular choice due to its robustness and resistance to wear. Pressure-treated wood is ideal for areas that are exposed to moisture or potential pests. We guide you through the selection process to ensure the material suits your door’s weight and your garage’s environmental conditions.
Should there be a gap between garage door and wall?
Yes, there should be a slight gap between the garage door and the wall to allow for proper door movement and to prevent friction. This gap ensures that the door can open and close smoothly without obstruction. The exact gap will depend on the type of garage door and the framing system used, but typically it ranges from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch on all sides. We make sure that your framing system is designed with the right spacing for maximum performance.
Should I use pressure-treated wood for garage door frame?
Yes, pressure-treated wood is a great option for garage door framing, especially if your garage is subject to moisture or humidity, as it helps prevent rotting, warping, or pest damage. Pressure-treated wood is treated with chemicals that enhance its resistance to weather elements and insects, making it a long-lasting choice for framing in areas exposed to the elements.
What is the framing around a garage door called?
The framing around a garage door is commonly referred to as the door frame or rough opening frame. It consists of the vertical and horizontal supports that hold the garage door in place, ensuring it opens and closes without obstruction. The rough opening frame is crucial to maintaining the door’s structural integrity and ensuring a perfect fit. Properly framing the garage door also ensures that it aligns correctly with the track and opener system.
How to fill a gap between a garage door frame and a wall?
To fill a gap between a garage door frame and a wall, the first step is to assess the size and cause of the gap. Small gaps can often be filled with expanding foam or weatherstripping material that seals the area. For larger gaps, we may recommend installing additional framing material, such as wood or foam boards, to ensure a secure and stable seal.
