Door frame shrinkage (how much will they?)

[Draughtsman]

Do 5"x1" door frames from Travis etc shrink much after fitting? How much would they lose from o/a width?

Can you buy any that are so dry that they won't?

Tnx all

The instructions on that type of thing normally tell you to leave them open in the environment they are going to be fitted in for 48hours so that they will swell or shrink before fitting.
