I went to replace something that had been in the house when we bought it in 1973.
So I asked if they had an Imperial size ... Wondering if they would have such a thing.
Surprised to learn that they are all still Imperial. Thought everything was Metric now (except possibly pints of milk which are confusingly sold in both).
So what did I buy?

I carried it to the shop to check the new one. (That narrows it down a bit) Dance caller. http://mo-dance-caller.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-i-do.html

Only thing in common with a door is that it has to fit into something exactly. Dance caller. http://mo-dance-caller.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-i-do.html

Re: What was I buying?door frame? It's not something you can carry around to see if you can get an exact match (isn't that why a tape measure comes in handy) so the only other thing I can think of is a door hinge or a pane of glass in a door? But I'm sure both don't really need to be in imperial measurements so I'm a little stumped. Re: What was I buying?The old one got stuck and when I pulled it out the middle came out, making it utterly useless.
