Getting the correct
measurements is the most important thing you must do to order our
glass inserts. Provide the following three measurements below so I
can check for accuracy. Round down all measurements to the nearest
sixteenth of an inch. Example - change a measurements of 12 11/32"
to 12 5/16". |

| Tight Size
Measurement

|
|
This measurement tells me
what the maximum area that the insert will fit into. From the back side of
your frame carefully measure the maximum width and the maximum height of
the area that the insert will fit into. |

Deduction |
|
This measurement
tells me that you have made the insert size smaller than your frame.
Your insert must be made smaller than the Tight Size Measurement
above in order for it to fit your frame properly. Deduct a total of
1/8" from the width shown above and a total of 1/8" from the height
shown above. By making this deduction you will have a 1/16"
allowance on all four sides. Example - If the tight size measurement
is 14" x 24", after deducting 1/8" in width and height your final
insert size to order would be 13 7/8" x 23 7/8". |

Light Size Measurement
from front of frame |
| front of

|
This
measurement will give me the size of the lip (rabit) so I know
how much of the insert goes under the moulding. Carefully
measure the width and height of the visual area you can see
through from the front of the frame. |
