The opening in Inverleith
Inverleith mixes tenement stairs and villas. Width and height are taken at the head, the middle and the cill before anything is cut.

Stair doors need a fire-door set; villa internal doors are a heavier three-hinge hang. A leaf that only binds on that edge is eased. A twisted door, or a hollow skin that is split, is replaced.
