Doors Around the World

Teammates! We need your help on the Doors of the World project. The goal is to measure doors from around the world so that we can make products that fit right. Please forward this to friends in Asia, Europe, Australia, Africa, etc. and ask them to help us out. Should only take them a minute and it would be really really helpful.

Thanks, Team Perfect

Doors of the World
First, email getfit@perfectpushup.com and we'll send you a PDF, which has the following questions. Or simply print out this blog and get started: whatever's easier for you. Please fill in the following information for 1 - 4 doors in your home. If there is no Door Jamb or Door Frame, please indicate as “none.” Please email responses and photographs (file named the same as the Door #) to getfit@perfectpushup.com. Again, thanks for your help!

Jim, Ian here, Team Leader of Design at Perfect Fitness.

Thanks so much for helping the cause! The pictures and data you sent us will help us make products that will work for CHARLIE MIKE Teammates all over the world.

Don't mention it. I hope this works for you, by the way are there any big differences between the doors I sent you and US style doors?

Just let me know if you need anything else I can help with.

Hi, Ian - I don't know much about building and construction but I thought about reminding you, remember that many U.S. homes are old and/or historic. Mine is 100 years old, and many others in our town are much, much older. Everything's different in an old house, it seems to me (we've only lived here for 10 yrs. - before that I lived in a smaller new house); e.g. our ceilings are 12-feet high. The WOOD seems so much better, and the doorways are - again, the way it seems - much larger. My wife knows all this stuff. Email her at melody@flocorp.com and tell her you're a friend of mine and she'll be able to help you out w/ info. on older homes. There's a dude here in town who is an expert - I forget his name - but they have a professional association and she knows the guy and is involved w/ them. Another example, at least in my house, the STAIRS are SMALLER (I have no idea why). It's almost like people were smaller in the 1800s, but they liked their houses bigger. Anyway, best of luck. - Joe G.
