How we measure lids.
|
|
|
When we measure a lid we always quote the hinged side (W) first followed by length. |

Shrinkage
- All lids are measured at 15 degrees centigrade
- Nominal size (+ or -) 6mm per 1000mm length
- Temperature: (+ or -) 2mm per 10 degrees centigrade per 1000mm length
Side Hinged Lids / Doors
Dimensions of lids on the detail pages of the website are always shown as "Hinge Hole Centre to Front" (Length or L) and Overall Width of Lid" (W). In the case of Side Hinged Lids and Doors, this may appear pictorially wrong but allows for consistency in measuring.
