The opening in Chatham
Chatham dockyard terraces take Medway wind and salt at the front door. Width and height are taken at the head, the middle and the cill before anything is cut.
What fails on these doors
Multi-point locks go out of alignment when the frame racks. A leaf that only binds on that edge is eased. A twisted door, or a hollow skin that is split, is replaced.
