   • Hinge side clearance: 5/16"
   • Latch side clearance: 1/8"
   • Frame variance clearance: 1/32"
   • Total Width Clearance: 15/32"

2. Single Door with Beveled Edge:

   • Hinge side clearance: 5/16"
   • Latch side clearance: 1/8"
   • Frame variance clearance: 1/32"
   • Beveled edge clearance: 1/32"
   • Total Width Clearance: 1/2"

3. Double Doors (Pair) with Square Edge:

   • Hinge side clearance: 5/8" (5/16" x 2)
   • Latch side clearance: 3/16"
   • Frame variance clearance: 1/16" (1/32" x 2)
   • Total Width Clearance: 7/8"

4. Double Doors (Pair) with Beveled Edge:

   • Hinge side clearance: 5/8" (5/16" x 2)
