The opening in Stratford-upon-Avon
Stratford cottages and town terraces have non-standard widths. Width and height are taken at the head, the middle and the cill before anything is cut.
What fails on these doors
The lining is kept and the leaf is cut to it, rather than the opening being rebuilt. A leaf that only binds on that edge is eased. A twisted door, or a hollow skin that is split, is replaced.
