Why do we charge for our measures?:

Because our craftsman are there to evaluate – not to sell.

We initially charge because these are EXPERT craftsmen whose time and experience have value. They are NOT salespeople. They get paid whether you buy a product from Meade’s or not. You will receive their guaranteed precise measurements and expert recommendations for your home via email soon after their visit.

Often, other companies will send employees only trained in sales or to read a tape measure to do the measurements. Unfortunately, without a trained eye on the existing opening, customers will often receive incorrect measurements, subtle problems will turn into big issues or they purchase a product that will not fit properly. Most often, they will be given advice only to increase the sale, not what is best for the situation. And the employ of these outside sales staffs usually increases the price of the product by 25%.

What to expect if you start with purchasing a Measure Only:

1. Meade’s will contact you within 2 business days of purchase to set up your measure appointment.
2. During the measure appointment, the expert will measure your opening, take pictures, specify handing, and note any issues that might arise during install. They will make recommendations they deem necessary for Meade’s and the homeowner to consider when purchasing a new door or window.
3. Within 2 business days of your measure, you will be emailed your measurements and contacted by Meade’s to discuss options for your project.
4. Once you purchase an installation from Meade’s, your measure purchase is refunded.
5. Your product is ordered, built, installed, and guaranteed to fit!

What to expect if you purchased a Measure/Install package WITH your new door:

1. Even though you have purchased a new door to be ordered or built, Meade’s will pause the order until the measure is completed to guarantee a fit.
2. Meade’s will contact you within 2 business days of purchase to set up your measure appointment.
3. During the measure appointment, the expert will measure your opening, take pictures, specify handing, and note any issues that might arise during install.
4. Within 2 business days of your measure, you will be emailed your measurements and contacted by Meade’s to either confirm that the project is a go, or to offer other solutions found during the measure, i.e. replace with another product or a refund, if the door you purchased will not work with your opening.
5. Then your product is ordered and built and stained (if this add-on has been purchased).
6. When the door is ready for install, Meade’s will reach out and schedule an installation date
7. The install will include:
   • Delivery
   • Installation

Please note that it is best practice to have the installer of the door approve the size and specifications you are purchasing. Even if a salesperson works with you in store or virtually, Meade’s cannot be responsible for any measures or builds “fitting” unless we have been on jobsite and you have purchased a measure from Meade’s. We will build to standard measurements or the measurements given for a custom order.

Exterior Pre-hung Specifications:

By selecting the pre-hanging option, you will receive a door hinged, prepped for handle and assembled in a frame (also called the door “jamb”).

Each pre-hung door unit is weathertight and includes:

• Adjustable Aluminum door sill (threshold) in Bronze
• Door sweep
• Weatherstripping
• 3 Oil Rubbed Bronze hinges on doors less than 84” tall and 4 ORB Hinges on doors greater than 84” tall

  • Bore diameter: 2-1/8″
  • Deadbolt is drilled 5-1/2″ above the handle center to center
• Double door units include T-astrigal and a pair of flush bolts installed on the secondary (passive) door

**** Pro Tip: If you can dunk your door slab in water and not a single millimeter of raw wood would get wet, then it is “adequately” sealed. You have to apply at least 3-5 coats of paint/sealant and on every single surface – all 6 sides of the door: front, back, bottom, top, left side and right side. ****
