This will ensure you only measure the frame, not the actual door or window.

If you want to replace the existing door, measure the width of the door's opening. This can be done without removing the door by prying the old one away from the jamb with the wide tool. This will reveal the framing that will be used to hang the new door. The height of the rough opening should be measured three times, and the smallest number is the size of the door you want to install. You can also measure the width of the doorway by running the tape measure along the edge of the frame in three places - center, left, and right.
