A.Remove the vent panel from the existing door frame. Check the dimensions of the existing door and the new door to make sure the new door will fit correctly. The opening must be 1/2" larger than the new door frame in both width and height. Measurements should be taken as follows:
Width - measure the inside dimension of existing jambs.
Height - measure from the subfloor or cement slab to the lowest point of the existing head. Confirm the flange will overlap the stucco by 1/2".
