not stop a person from falling through the door.

MEASURE THE ENTRYWAY
Measure the height and width of the door even with the brickmold as shown in the illustration.
Use the smallest width measurement to determine the opening width. Compare your door
opening height and width with the size chart to choose the appropriate size of your new
storm door. If the opening does not fall within any of these limits, it will be necessary to
rework the door jamb. You may wish to consult a professional carpenter to do so.
