The opening in Barnstaple
Barnstaple estuary terraces hold damp at ground-floor thresholds. Width and height are taken at the head, the middle and the cill before anything is cut.
What fails on these doors
Back doors fail at the bottom rail. A leaf that only binds on that edge is eased. A twisted door, or a hollow skin that is split, is replaced.
