Ah, this is what I have to look forward to in the next few years, my mom plans on selling this dump in 5 years after it's fully paid for, and it still needs a shitload of work. One job that must be done ASAP is the back door and can't wait any longer, and I have to figure out how to measure it correctly without removing the frame cause if I remove it I'll either kill myself under the heavy glass, break down the wall, or worst of all, never put it back together and be left with a nice big 8 foot wide hole in the kitchen and likely a missing cat.

Most doors are standard sized. If you're not removing the whole frame, just take the door off, measure it, and buy the replacement the same day.
Just remember. Measure twice. It sounds stupid, but it'll save you headaches in the long haul. It's also a good idea to measure the thickness of the door...just in case you have an older interior door used as an exterior door. If it's solid wood, and you have an older home, it may be just that.
