I actually thought you would measure the radius of the curve on the track. Great video.

Assuming Thomas is about 6 feet, it looks like the door is a 7 footer. His rule of 91 or less indicates a 12 inch radius doesn't work for other door heights. I have an 8 foot door, and the rail is 99 inches from the floor. But it sure looks like a 12 inch radius track. If I subtract 12 from 99, which is 87, to adjust my situation to his door height example, then the rule works for me. This video is going to mess some people up if they just follow his instructions.

Yes you're right, 8 foot door has different measurement, as does any door height other than the 7 foot door he is giving the radius height for.

Where do you buy the radius section? I've looked all over and can't find them.
