The opening in Brent
Brent is interwar semis plus purpose-built flats. Width and height are taken at the head, the middle and the cill before anything is cut.
What fails on these doors
Escape-stair doors are the usual request, and house linings are often the older imperial sizes rather than a modern metric blank. A leaf that only binds on that edge is eased. A twisted door, or a hollow skin that is split, is replaced.
Getting the leaf to Brent
The carry in Brent follows the street, not a generic drop-off. A 2040mm slab rarely fits in a lift and a van cannot always wait on a red route, so the leaf is carried in and the old door is taken out the same way. The opening itself is this one: brent is interwar semis plus purpose-built flats.
