When possible, using a space where a window originally existed can save money and mess…

…by means of not having to change structural-supports,
and thus not having to deal with the drywall…

…or in the case of this particular project, the lath and plaster.

We had the Simpson Model 7109 door manufactured to custom dimensions…

…so as to allow us to match the original sightlines of the adjoining window…

…and to eliminate
having to change the width or height of the original rough-opening.
