To measure your door for replacement, you need to measure the height, width, and thickness of the door.
Measuring Door Dimensions
Here's how to measure your door accurately for replacement:
Height
- Measure from the top of the door to the bottom of the door.
Width
- Measure the width of the door from edge to edge.
- According to the video, when measuring width, place your tape measure on the edge of the door and pull it over to the other edge.
Thickness
- Measure the thickness of the door.
- The video suggests to round up to the next number when measuring. For example if you measure slightly over 31 inches then this should be rounded up to 32 inches.
Example
Let's say you're measuring a door.
- You measure the width and it's 31 and 5/8 inches wide. You should round this up to 32 inches.
- Then you measure the height from top to bottom.
- Finally you measure the thickness of the door.
Summary of Measurements

By measuring your door accurately, you can ensure that you choose a replacement that fits properly in your doorframe.
