The opening

• Select a piece of jamb stock and cut to suit the head
![Page 3: Installing Doors & Frames Ref: Handout / Text M. S. Martin Sept. 2008](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110303/5516be34550346a25b8b5f75/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Jamb
• Measure in 10mm from one side
• Use an off cut of jamb material to mark out the housing
• 10mm can be varied to suit opening if you prefer
