How to put an Entry Door in a Garage door - dawoodguy - 11-01-2016

Has anyone ever done this? I know you can buy a garage door with an entry door but I'm told my door is too small for a ready made one....plus they are very expensive. My door is 8' wide and 7' 3" high.....thanks for any help

Quote:A: Yes. We can accommodate any size garage door. The opening sizes vary from one area to another. We can accommodate any size.

My mechanic has one.  As I recall it only required a few extra hinges and a latch.  It seemed unremarkable at the time.

one panel or multiple panels? 

I am wondering why you cannot just put in a door cut a few studs out header it and install it no room to swing inside just swing it outside
