Standard Garage Door Sizes in South Africa
A genuine gap in the local market — almost nobody publishes this plainly, even though it's one of the most searched questions from anyone planning a build or a replacement.
Common repairs and warning signs
- Standard single: approx. 2,450–2,600mm wide × 2,100–2,400mm high — the most common residential size in Gauteng
- Standard double: approx. 4,800–5,000mm wide × 2,100–2,400mm high — one door across a two-car opening
- Twin singles: 2 × 2,450mm wide × 2,100–2,400mm high — two separate doors with a central pillar
- Raised height: 2,450–5,000mm wide × 2,400mm+ high — for bakkies, SUVs, roof boxes and caravans
- Non-standard: measured on site — custom manufacture, allow additional lead time
Openings vary enough between homes that these figures should never be used to order a door — Century Doors measures every opening on site, free of charge, before quoting.
