Measuring a screen door accurately ensures a perfect fit, preventing gaps that can allow insects and debris to enter your home. To measure a screen door, follow these steps:
- Measure the height of the door opening from the top of the frame to the bottom.
- Measure the width of the door opening from one side of the frame to the other.
- Add 1 inch to both the height and width measurements to allow for overlap and proper installation.
Once you have the measurements, you can order a screen door that is the correct size. A properly fitted screen door will keep insects and debris out while allowing fresh air to circulate.
