How we measure lids.

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

Length (L) is hinge hole centre line to front edge.

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.
