Hello, I am currently working on building a double garage. Now I need to find out how high the lintel for my garage door needs to be.

Door size 2.125m x 5.000m (7 ft 0 in x 16 ft 5 in)

I would appreciate any help.

In our case, the gate is also behind the opening; it’s just about how much space you have from the bottom edge of the lintel to the ceiling.

Do you really want the springs on the side?

If you stick with an N-type fitting, you will need at least 210mm (8 inches) up to a maximum of 300mm (12 inches).

Sorry, I meant the L-bracket... it only requires 11.5cm (4.5 inches) up to the ceiling.
In my case, the gate is installed just behind the facing brick, not behind the sand-lime brick.

So, there you have it.

2125 + 115

But as far as I remember, the L bracket is more expensive. Ask about it—you have it under control.

And 2.2 meters (7 ft 3 in) ceiling height is not that high either.

By the way, Hörmann often has special offers on doors. We got our 5-meter (16 ft 5 in) door for 1400 euros.
Standard ribbed design in Woodgrey and Anthracite.

My ceiling height is 2.55m (8 feet 4.5 inches). I only need the stop for the gate... send me a message, and then we can chat there.
