Default measuring door frames for new door

Hi,

sorry to ask 2 questions in a row but, I'm thinking about ordering upvc
doors through a wholesaler.

They said the measurements they need are from brick to brick (left to
right).

What I want to know is that are there any special requirements for the width
of the frame, how would I measure the height when the outside step is lower
than the inside floor?

Thanks in advance.

Matt

Don't worry about the width of the frame. They will allow for that as
they should be supplying it with the door. They will allow say 5mm
clearance all around. DO NOT deduct this yourself. Just measure the
brick-to-brick width in 3 places and give them the smallest.
WRT height, you need to be clear if they are supplying the cill also.
If so just give them the brick-to-brick height.
