How to measure
If you have a rough opening (no door or door frame installed), use a measuring tape to get the measurements of the height and the width.
Your rough opening should be 2 inches wider and 1 inch taller than the window you're ordering in order to account for leveling of the door and the frame.
It is very important that 1 inch is left on the top and each side. Once you get your rough opening size, subtract 1 inch from the height and 2 from the width, and that will be your door size.
If you are measuring a door that already has another door frame in it’s place, follow the instructions at the beginning of the video above.
How to Install
Our exterior windows use a nailing flange that are lag bolted directly into your rough opening.
The frame must be leveled properly according to our full Installation Guide.
Once leveled, your frame will need to be mounted firmly and your windows will then need to be hung.
Once your frame is mounted level and your windows are hung, your finishing, sheetrock/drywall, and/or trim will cover up the nailing flange and any space between your frame and rough opening needed to keep the frame level.
Refer to our full installation guide once you are installing your doors in order to ensure you are following the correct procedures.
