How to measure basement door

My basement door has a mangled hinge. I measured it at 52.25 x 30.75 for the door (frame excluded) but Trekwood's closest match is 53.25 x 31.5.
I then checked my propane door against Trekwood's propane door and again different, they show 18.75 x 31.5 but I am much smaller.
Does anyone know where on the door are they measuring?

Ron,

I recommend calling Trekwood.

Measure the frame inside the pass thru compartment, not the door. That's what the tech did when I needed a replacement door years ago due to it turning brownish at the bottom.

PS ... As I remember, the door came frame and all, not just the door itself.

I will try that tomorrow. Yes, it has to come with the frame.
However, I have decided to save a lot of money and just install the door with a piano hinge. The hinge (Stainless Steel), rivets, heavy duty rivet gun all ordered. If I fail at fixing it, my backup plan is Trekwood.

I've got a compartment hinge failure - somehow half the track is fully bent out of share. Can someone send link/hint/info of the "Trekwood replacement door" option?

Thanks!

This is where I started. NOTE the measurements are not accurate although they will claim otherwise. Just know they didn't produce two doors a 1/2" different in size.
