Sizing, Handing & Measuring
Sizing
Door sizing has always been an issue with few openings being “standard.” The good news – special sizing has always been one of our specialties. Each day we are cutting down hundreds of doors to meet the strangest specs you could imagine. We have the ability to reduce a door’s height and width without affecting the structural integrity of the door itself.
