Hi,
I am considering buying a front and back door off an online company but I have to measure the doors myself.
I have been googling and see that I have to measure from brickwork to brickwork in three different places horizontally and vertically which I have done.
But I am getting confused as some websites say then to deduct 10mm off the smallest measurement and some say to just take the smallest measurement.
Could anyone help please?
Another problem is that the we have a top light (we are getting another front door with a new top light) and the brickwork around the very top of this is arched - so if I measure in three places vertically from the floor to the top light, I am measuring the 2 smallest parts of the arch and the 1 part in the centre where the arch is at its highest and am unsure what to specify. What should I do?
How accurate must you be when measuring doors? are there room for errors?
as the doors cannot be returned.
