How to Measure
What Door Size Do I Need?
How to Measure - Current Door Installed
If you currently have a door installed and are looking to replace it with a new PINKYS door, you will first need to obtain both the width and height measurements, as described below.
Width: Measure from the inside of the left door jamb to the inside of the right door jamb, omitting the projected door stops on both sides. Add 2" to this number to get the width of your new PINKYS door.
EX: 70" (width measurement) + 2" = 72" PINKYS door width
Height: Measure from the floor to the bottom of the top of the frame, omitting the projected door stop on the frame itself. Add 1" to this number to get the height of your new PINKYS door.
EX: 83" (height measurement) + 1" = 84" PINKYS door height
How to Measure - Visible Studs / Rough Opening
If you are working with a new construction, or have your wall opened up to the studs, then you will be able to measure for the rough opening itself. Rough opening measurements can be obtained as described below.
Width: Measure from the inside of the left stud to the inside of the right stud. Subtract 1" from this number to get the width of your new PINKYS door.
EX: 73" (width measurement) - 1" = 72" PINKYS door width
Height: Measure from the floor to the bottom of the header stud. Subtract 1" from this number to get the height of your new PINKYS door.
EX: 85" (height measurement) - 1" = 84" PINKYS door height
