The opening in Gloucester
Gloucester dock and terrace thresholds stay damp. Width and height are taken at the head, the middle and the cill before anything is cut.
What fails on these doors
External bottom rails and back-door cills fail first. A leaf that only binds on that edge is eased. A twisted door, or a hollow skin that is split, is replaced.
