that's why I built my house the way I did. All doors are at least 1.2m wide. I think I was planning on maybe getting a Genie or Hercules one day.  &&

Can't think of box dims but the box won't fit through a standard front door hey Troy lol we had to un box it then carry through door. The box will fit in a commodore wagon except the VE/VF range.

unless you live in an old miners cottage, the box will fit

sys11 and Zacs are wider than the box of a modern Stern

I just checked my NIB boxes in the shed.
765 x 795 x 1420 mm.
Not exact square W x D.
If the box is a squeeze through standard door.then do a 90° turn and try the 765 mm side. That 30mm makes a big difference.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

Yeah it's a tight squeeze and rather than damage anything we took it out to be safe-at my joint I have a large sliding door so no worries.

If you take the door off a standard 820 door frame the opening between door stops should be 800. Still tight though. Most entry doors and main room doors are 820.
