Garage Door High Lift Inquiry

The following form will walk you through the measurements and other information that is needed in order for us to quote a high lift conversion kit for your garage door. High lift kits increase the vertical rise of the garage door so that the door reaches the horizontal track closer to the ceiling than with a standard lift garage door. This form will follow the first two sections of our High Lift Garage Door Conversion tutorial.

The purpose of high lift garage doors in residential settings is typically to allow a lift to be installed in the garage door that raises one car high enough off of the ground to allow for a second car to be parked under the first. Installation of high lift kits should only be performed by experienced do-it-yourselfers as it is a long process that is very dangerous.

Under most circumstances, you will be quoted prices for your custom high lift kit before submitting this form. If a spring pair cannot be immediately found or if your kit requires special calculations, the price of your kit will not be given as we will contact you shortly regarding the cost of your kit after performing further calculations.

If you want to have more than 54 inches of high lift, please contact us with your dimensions.

We can also quote roof-line high-lift kits through this form, but if you want your door to open at more than 45 degrees from parallel to the garage floor, please contact us as you will need to use vertical-lift cable drums instead.

Track Radius: Measure the radius of the curved portion of the horizontal track. This can be done by placing a level at the junction of the horizontal and vertical track, holding it level, and measuring the distance between the bottom of the the horizontal track and the level as shown. This is normally 12 or 15 inches.

See our Torsion Sping FAQs for more methods for determining your track radius.

All Doors/Systems: See our How to Weigh a Garage Door tutorial and video (link opens in a new window) for more information on how to properly weigh your door with an analog scale.

Standard torsion springs: You may be able to use your current springs and cable drum for determining the components of your high lift kit. The door weight is the more accurate measurement when done properly. If your cable drum does not match one of the drums in our list, you will have to contact us so we can determine your door weight based on our more complete cable drum charts that include drums that do not have a 4" radius. See our How to Measure Torsion Springs tutorial and video (link opens in a new window) for help measuring your springs.
