The opening in Ashford
Ashford has newer estate metric linings next to older cottages. Width and height are taken at the head, the middle and the cill before anything is cut.
What fails on these doors
The estate hang is straightforward; the cottage opening is not a stock size. 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 Ashford
The carry in Ashford follows the street, not a generic drop-off. Old-town streets restrict vans. Bungalow thresholds are low, so the leaf cannot be left proud of the cill overnight. The opening itself is this one: ashford has newer estate metric linings next to older cottages.
