How to measure for a screen door. Write down the measurement. Make sure you measure with Stanley Fatmax tape measure. Measure the height of the door right in the middle.
Compare your measurements with available door sizes. Do the same for the height of the door panel. Subtract 14 inch from each measurement to allow 18-inch clearance between the screen door and the frame in each direction for the ideal size for the door.
Place the end of the tape measure behind the lip and measure vertically up to the window screen channel. Next move the measuring tape down to approximately 6 inches 15 cm above the bottom of the door frame and measure from side to side again. Double-check the figures you wrote.
If your door sill is slanted measure to the lowest part of the sill that will rest beneath the screen door. Starting on the left side measure from the inside edge of Trim C blue to the top of the Door Sill green where youd expect the screen door and sill to meet.
