Measuring your brickwork opening for a pair of Carteck insulated side hinged garage doors.

  • Simply measure the brick to brick width and floor to lintel height accurately at the tightest points.
  • Check that the drive is level or falls away from the door. The door leaves must be able to swing out without catching on the drive.
  • When measuring a brickwork opening its size can vary depending on exactly where you measure it, so take a number of sizes at different points.
  • Ideally you should check how level the floor and lintel are and how plumb the two brick piers are with a spirit level. Allow for any run out. Take the tightest sizes. See our easy to use Self Survey Form.
  • Do not allow a fitting tolerance, we will do this.
  • Simply give us these tight brickwork opening sizes when placing your order.
  • The door and frame will be manufactured with the correct tolerances to fit within the sizes you give us.
  • On brickwork openings that are not level or out of plumb any uneven gaps between the frame and the brick can be trimmed off afterwards with UPVC. If the gaps are small and uniform a bead of silicone sealant is all that is needed.
