How to Measure a Door?
Measure The Width Of The Door
Run measuring tape along with your door from the left corner to the right corner, and record the number. It is essential that you only measure the door. Do not include any other parts, such as weather-stripping in external doors in your measurement.
Especially with older doors, it is important to measure it from more than one location, just in case the door is not perfectly rectangular. If the sizes vary, use the largest number.
Determine The Height Of The Door
Run your measuring tape along your door from the top corner to the bottom edge, and write the number down. Once again, measure the door itself and no other parts, including the door sweep.
It is wise to measure in more than one spot on the door, just in case, it's not a perfect rectangle. This is especially true for older doors. If the results vary, use the largest figure that is measured.
Figure Out The Thickness Of The Door
Hold a measuring tape to the edge of the door and note down its thickness. Measure this edge on the door frame (known as the jamb) as well. These numbers should be close to the original figure, but it can be helpful to know both of them.
Measure The Height And Width Of The Framed Door Space
To be absolutely sure, measure the area where your door will be fitted, too. Record the height and width of the door frame space. This will help ensure that you select the right replacement door to its exact measurements.
Measure the width of the door in 3 locations. Use the smallest figure as your measurement.
Measure the height of the door right in the middle. Measure from the floor to the underside of the trim at the top of the door.

How do I measure a double door?
Start by measuring the opening size and divide the width by two to give an approximate width for each door. If the frame is not already fitted, you need to allow for this (most common frame width is 30mm both sides), as well as some tolerance for fitting (approximately 2-3mm each side). Opening width – Frame width (e.g. 60mm) – Fitting adjustment (6mm) = Double door width ÷ 2 = Single door width Compare the Single door width with the sizes available in your chosen design to determine whether a standard option will work or if you require bespoke made to measure doors.
When fitting double doors, you also need to consider how you would like the doors to meet in the middle. E.g. square or rebated meeting stiles. See How to Create a Door Pair for more information. Fitting double doors is not straight forward and we would always advise using a professional Joiner to help you achieve the perfect fit.
