measure for patio doors

1. Measure the width of the area to be covered at the place where the headrail will be installed. Blind should overlap opening at least 4" on each side to ensure privacy

2. Measure the height of the area to be covered at the left, center and right. Blind should extend at least 3" above opening or window moulding.

3. To ensure easy access through the door and allow adequate overlap, consider the stack width.

4. For installations to the floor, deduct 1/2" from the shortest height for proper clearance.

5. Specifying outside mount measurement means the factory makes allowances for headrail deductions only.
