How to measure rough opening of your door

Measurement of bedroom rough opening

To measure the bedroom rough opening, the first step is to measure the height of the rough opening, which is the height from the ground to the top of the rough opening, and both sides need to be measured. The width of the rough opening should be measured at three points: upper, middle, and lower. Both the inner and outer openings should be measured to see if the data is consistent; When measuring the thickness of a wall, it is also necessary to divide it into three points: upper, middle, and lower. Both points should also be measured. Finally, record the measurement results on the wall.

Measurement of single rough opening for entrance doors

Measure the height and then the width of the single-sided rough opening of the entrance door. Due to the lack of a door stack on the right side of the entrance door, the entire line of the door cannot be installed. Therefore, a fake door stack needs to be installed, with a thickness of 4 centimeters and a width equal to the width of the wall. The data obtained by subtracting the thickness of the door stack from the entrance of the rough opening is the width of the door, and finally measuring the thickness of the wall.
