Exterior Doors
1. Height
Measure the opening of the doorway vertically from the floor to the top of the door jamb.
2. Width
Measure the width of the doorway horizontally 3 times, top, middle and near the bottom. If the measurements vary, use the shortest distance.
3. Jamb
Measure the width of the door jamb, edge to edge distance of one of the sides of the door frame.
Rough Openings
The frame of the door openings are generally 2 inches wider and taller than the door being installed.
Consider the Swing of Your Front Door
Determine the swing by facing the door from the exterior of your home as if you’re about to walk inside
