The opening in Birmingham

Birmingham terraces and interwar semis have cellar damp that swells the closing edge. Width and height are taken at the head, the middle and the cill before anything is cut.

What fails on these doors

A door that sticks only from November to March wants easing, not a new leaf, unless the skin is split. 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 Birmingham

The carry in Birmingham follows the street, not a generic drop-off. Terraced streets mean the van is usually on the road, and the leaf comes through a narrow hall. The opening itself is this one: birmingham terraces and interwar semis have cellar damp that swells the closing edge.
