The opening in High Wycombe
High Wycombe furniture-town terraces and Chiltern cottages have different openings on the same job list. Width and height are taken at the head, the middle and the cill before anything is cut.
What fails on these doors
Terraces are imperial; cottages are odd sizes and low at the head. A leaf that only binds on that edge is eased. A twisted door, or a hollow skin that is split, is replaced.
