To measure for a replacement wardrobe door, you typically need to measure the exact dimensions of the existing door you are replacing. This involves measuring both the width and the height.
Measuring the Height
According to the provided information, measuring the height involves using a tape measure. You should place the tape measure on to the bottom of the door. Then, run your tape all the way up to the top of the door. And get your measurement. This process ensures you capture the full height of the existing door panel.
Measuring the Width
While the provided reference focuses on height, measuring the width is equally crucial. For the width, you would measure across the door panel from one side edge to the other.
Steps for Measuring Wardrobe Doors
Follow these simple steps to get accurate measurements:
- Open the Wardrobe Door: Make sure the door is fully open or at least accessible for measurement.
- Measure the Height:
- Place your tape measure firmly at the very bottom edge of the door.
- Extend the tape measure straight up to the very top edge of the door.
- Note down this measurement carefully.
- Measure the Width:
- Place your tape measure at one side edge of the door.
- Extend the tape measure straight across to the opposite side edge.
- Note down this measurement.
- Pro Tip: Some suppliers recommend measuring the width at the top, middle, and bottom and using the largest measurement to ensure a proper fit, especially if the old door isn't perfectly square.
- Record Your Measurements: Write down both the height and width measurements clearly. Double-check them to avoid errors.
Accurate measurements are essential when ordering replacement doors to ensure they fit correctly within your existing wardrobe frame and align properly with other doors if you are replacing more than one. Once you have your measurements, you can "send it to us" or your chosen supplier to order your new doors.
