Fire door standard sizes

All conventional UK and metric door sizes are often available as fire door equivalents, with the only difference being an increased door thickness of 45mm. This is because the door’s fire rating necessitates the use of additional core component materials during manufacturing. Check that your frames, intumescent seals, and ironmongery are all fire-rated to match the door. For additional information, please visit our Fire Door Fittings page.

Door Size Question & Answers

Q: What is the typical height of a UK interior door?
Ans: In England and Wales, the average door height is 1981mm (6’6″). Scotland most usually uses a metric equivalent that is somewhat taller, 2040mm.
Q: What is the typical width of a UK interior door?
Ans: The average width of an internal door in England and Wales is 762mm (2’6″). Scotland frequently chooses a slightly smaller metric equivalent (726mm).
Q: How should I measure for a replacement internal door?
Ans: To establish the needed door width, measure within the door frame across the width (top, middle, and bottom), then take the broadest measurement. The same goes for the door height. The height necessary is calculated by measuring within the vertical side of the frame and taking the longest length.
Q: How wide is a conventional UK internal door frame?
Ans: To suit the most popular door widths, the most typical door frame width in England/Wales is 762mm while in Scotland it is 726mm. Door frames can be supplied pre-assembled or in component components that can be cut to fit any door size. We usually recommend hiring experienced joinery services since fixing a door frame is precise labor that is difficult than it appears.
Q: How should I measure for a double door?

Ans: Begin by measuring the opening size and dividing it by two to get an approximate width for each door. If the frame has not already been fitted, you must account for this (the most typical frame width is 30mm on both sides) as well as some fitting tolerance (about 2-3mm per side).To calculate the width of a single door, divide the opening width by the frame width (e.g., 60mm) and the fitting adjustment (6mm).

Compare the Single door width to the sizes available in your selected design to see if a standard choice would suffice or if you need bespoke made-to-measure doors.
