How to Measure and Install a Steel Door in Kenya

Measurement and installation checklist for steel doors — avoid costly sizing mistakes before you order.

Most fitting problems start with incomplete measurements. Capture height, width, wall depth, and swing direction, then confirm whether you need a new frame or a renovation kit.

Key takeaways

Measure at three points for height and width — openings are rarely perfect.
Note the floor finish height if tiling is still pending.
Confirm inward vs outward swing and handle side.
Professional installation protects warranty and weather sealing.
