It's an old garage with a wooden door on it currently.
Question is, I measured the size of the actual wooden door itself and
it comes out to 94" (7' 8") width and 78" (6' 5") in height.. I see listed
is a standard size of 8' x 7'. When they quote these sizes, are they
quoting what it will be with the hardware or the door itself?

Thats the size of the door itself. Standard "roll up" doors don't fit
INSIDE the opening, they go on the inside of the garage, AGAINST the
opening, therefore there would be a 2" overlap on either SIDE of your
opening and about 6" ABOVE your opening....


Well, not really. Modern garages are finish framed to the nominal door size. In
other words, when I design a garage for a 8' x 7' door, that is the exact size
of the opening we leave after the finish jambs are in place. The door fits
into the opening and a temporary trim strip keeps it from falling through the
opening until the tracks are in place. The only overlap is the 3/4" trim with
the rubber flap all around the edge which is nailed in place after the door is
fitted and the temporary trim is removed.

When you are retrofitting an older garage, you work with what you have.
