What Is Our Free Door Measuring Service?
It’s a home visit where one of our own fitters checks every opening you want a new door for. No sales pitch, no pressure.
You get exact sizes, an honest look at your frames and walls, and a written quote before you decide anything.
No Obligation, No Hidden Cost
The visit never costs you anything, whether you order one door or a full house. No callout fee, no charge if you don’t proceed.
Who This Service Is For
Homeowners replacing one door, families renovating, self-builders fitting out a new home, and landlords fitting several units at once.
Why Accurate Door Measurements Matter
A door that’s even slightly out of size will not sit square in its frame, and that gap shows up later as draughts, noise and doors that won’t close.
Wrong Sizing Costs You Twice
Order to the wrong size and you pay for the mistake twice, once for the wrong door and again for the replacement. Online-only retailers who ask you to self-measure put that risk entirely on you.
Standard vs Non-Standard Openings
Standard Irish openings run around 826mm, 726mm or 626mm wide, but older homes, extensions and converted attics regularly break that pattern. See our internal door sizes ireland standard guide, though a site visit still confirms your exact numbers.
Do We Cover Dublin? (Yes, Here's How)
East Coast Doors is based in Julianstown, Co. Meath, and our fitters travel out across Dublin as a normal, scheduled part of the working week, not a special favour.
Meath-Based, Dublin-Serving, What That Means for You
Lower overheads outside the city carry through to your quote. It does mean booking slightly ahead in busy periods, since one team travels between counties. See internal doors dublin for more on how we schedule Dublin visits.
Areas We Visit Across Dublin & Leinster
Regularly measuring and fitting across North Dublin and our core East Coast towns:

How the Free Measuring Visit Works
Four clear stages, from your first call through to the doors being hung on your walls.
Book Your Slot
Call or WhatsApp +353 083 814 7923, or message us through our Contact page, and tell us roughly how many doors you need measured.
We Visit Your Home
A fitter, not a salesperson, measures every opening, checking frames, walls and floors. Most visits take 30 to 60 minutes.
You Get a Clear, Itemised Quote
A written quote broken down by door, so you see exactly what you’re paying for. No pressure to sign on the day. Compare it against our internal door fitting cost ireland guide first.
Supply & Fit (If You Go Ahead)
We order your doors, and our fitters return to install, adjust and clean up. See the full supply-and-fit-internal-doors process.
What Our Fitter Checks During the Visit
A proper measuring visit is more than a tape measure against the frame. Four things get checked on every opening.
Frame Condition
We check whether your existing frame is straight and solid, or has warped or shifted. See our door frame replacement service if it needs replacing.
Wall & Floor Level
Older homes around Meath and Louth often settle unevenly. We measure at multiple points per opening, not just one.
Swing Direction & Clearance
We confirm which way each door needs to open and check clearance from radiators, skirting and adjoining doors.
Existing Hardware Compatibility
If you want to reuse hinges, handles or locks, we check compatibility during the visit, not on fitting day.
What to Prepare Before Our Visit
Three small things speed up the visit, though none of this is compulsory.
Clear Access to Each Door
Move furniture or boxes away from doorways so the full frame and floor can be checked without obstruction.
Know Your Style Preference
Mention oak, white primed or glazed when booking so we bring relevant samples. No preference yet is fine too, browse our internal doors for sale range first.
List Any Problem Doors First
Point out doors that stick or won't latch. Sometimes a door repair is the cheaper fix, and we'll say so honestly.
Full House vs Single Door Measuring
The measuring process is identical either way, but visit length and quote structure differ by scope.
Renovation & New Build Packages
We measure every internal opening in one visit and provide a single itemised quote for the whole house. Ideal for builders working to a fit-out schedule. See full-house-door-packages-ireland for typical timelines.
One-Off Replacement Doors
A shorter visit covering just the openings you need, common for a single damaged bedroom or bathroom door. Compare routes on our supply-only-vs-supply-and-fit guide.
Full House vs Single Door Measuring
Home improvement spending in Ireland reached just over €10 billion in 2024 and has kept growing, with doors and windows sitting right inside that figure, which is exactly why homeowners want that money spent on accurate work, not guesswork.
6+ Years

Is door measuring really free in Ireland?
Yes, with East Coast Doors the home visit and measurement are completely free, whether you order one door or a full house. There is no callout fee and no charge if you decide not to go ahead.
Do I have to buy doors if I get a free measure?
No. The measuring visit carries zero obligation to purchase. You get a written quote to review at your own pace and compare against other suppliers before deciding anything.
How long does a door measuring visit take?
A single door or small job typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. A full house visit usually runs 60 to 90 minutes depending on how many openings are non-standard.
Do you measure doors in Dublin or just Meath?
Both. Our base is in Julianstown, Co. Meath, but our fitters travel to North Dublin, South Dublin and surrounding Leinster counties as a regular scheduled part of our work.
Can I measure my own doors before booking?
You can take rough measurements to plan ahead, but a professional visit is still recommended, since wall level, frame condition and swing clearance are easy to miss. See our how-to-measure-internal-doors guide for the basics.
What if my door frame is not standard size?
Non-standard openings are common in older Irish homes and recent renovations. During your free visit we identify any non-standard sizes on the spot and quote for a custom solution.
How soon can someone come measure my doors?
Most areas across Meath, Louth and Dublin can be booked within the same week, though busy renovation season may push this out slightly. Call +353 083 814 7923 for the next slot.
