How to Measure Plantation Shutters for Sliding Glass Doors
- 1). Measure the length of the sliding glass door from the right edge all the way to the left edge, near the top. Take this measurement again near the center and a third time near the bottom. Use the narrowest of the three measurements.
- 2). Measure the sliding glass door's height from the top edge all the way down to the floor. Take this measurement from the left side, the center and the right side. Use the shortest of the three measurements.
- 3). Measure how far out from the wall or trim the door handle sticks out. This measurement will be important in determining how much backspace will be needed behind the plantation shutters.
