Maker Term Translator

Every maker calls the same five measurements by a different name. Pick a maker below and see their own wording set against this site's standard labels, with the date each term was read where that date is on record.

Date tracking for this tool has not yet begun. No "date read" has been logged for any maker or any measurement below, so every entry in that column currently shows a hyphen. This is a known gap, not an error in individual rows — a human editor needs to log the actual read date for each figure from its source before this column will show real data.

A hyphen in the date column means the date that term was read has not yet been logged in our records for that figure.

TB Davies figures are read from its own measuring guide: tbdavies.co.uk, how to measure for a loft ladder. TB Davies also notes its swing clearance figure is shown as a minimum on that page and as a maximum in its product tables, so it is worth checking directly with the maker before relying on it.
