HOW TO DETERMINE HINDGE OFFSETS

"Offset" is simply the difference in inches between the outside surface of the door and the outside surface of the frame to which the door seals. This measurement is critical when ordering new or replacement hardware. To measure the offset, follow these simple steps.

      the frame to the underside of the straight edge.
