The opening in Worfield

Worfield cottages have wide, odd openings and thresholds that have dropped. Width and height are taken at the head, the middle and the cill before anything is cut.

What fails on these doors

The width is measured at head, middle and cill because the three numbers differ. A leaf that only binds on that edge is eased. A twisted door, or a hollow skin that is split, is replaced.
