Record height, width, depth, handles, hinges, and shipping packaging. Distinguish cabinet depth from total depth.
Write these details into the request rather than keeping them as service-day assumptions. Furniture and appliance delivery depends on measurements, safe handling, pickup readiness, and a clear destination path.
Measure each opening
Check clear width with doors open, trim, thresholds, security doors, gates, and elevator openings.
Photos, measurements, and a reachable contact make this checkpoint easier to verify before anyone travels.
Account for turns
Measure hallways and corners where the refrigerator must rotate. A doorway measurement alone cannot confirm the complete path.
If the condition changes, update the plan early so vehicle, crew, timing, and handling can be reviewed.
Check the final space
Confirm cabinet opening, floor level, door swing, ventilation clearance, and utility location using manufacturer requirements.
The goal is a route that protects the item, the property, and the people completing the work.
Share close measurements early
When clearance is tight, provide exact numbers and photos so removal of doors or another plan can be evaluated before dispatch.
Finish this step before checkout whenever possible and keep the supporting information available on service day.
Frequently asked questions
How much extra clearance is needed?
Follow the manufacturer’s installation and ventilation requirements for the exact model.
Should I measure the old refrigerator?
The new model may differ; measure the new appliance and the physical route directly.
Do exterior security doors matter?
Yes. Measure every door and gate along the path, not only the kitchen doorway.
