1981 x 457/533 x 35mm –usually most popular for wardrobe or cupboard door use

1981 x 610/686 x 35mm - used where there may be limited wall space and a small fitting door is needed.

1981 x 762 x 35mm - often mentioned as a 2' 6" door is the most typical internal door sizing in England and Wales.

1981 x 838 x 35mm - Under the Part 'M' mobility criterion, it offers the appropriate opening width for wheelchair access in most instances. This door size is also referred to as a 2' 9".

Door Frame Sizes

In England and Wales, the most common door frame width is 762mm. The most typical door frame width in Scotland is 726mm. To accommodate all door sizes, door frames can be provided pre-assembled or in component components that can be trimmed to size.

There is no standard UK door frame size since the size of the frame you require is determined by the size of the aperture. Because door frame fitting is challenging and needs precise accuracy, we always recommend talking with a skilled joiner.
