Ask your QuestionI am getting new doors for my home. What is the average size of a front or back door please? Thank you!
Asked by Sarath on 23rd Jun 2021"33 inch wide and 2.1m high AS a NORM for all doors."
Answered on 23rd Sep 2021 - Member since Feb 2018 - report"Usually 1:830X765
Unless personal preference is Authorised!!!"
"926 I believe and onwards
Depending on what you want personally"
"There is no average size. Exterior door widths are generally 32inch. But you have to measure accurately.
Modern mass produced doors have little to plane down to fit. 10mm either side maximum.

"There is no standard size for external doors .
The most common size for a front entrance door would be 2’9” x 6’6” ( 828 x 1981mm)
However, there are many other sizes to choose from especially if you are dealing with period properties
Best advice would be to measure your existing door
Internal doors are a little more standardised
2.0’ , 2’3””, 2’6”, and 2’9” all by 6’6” high are amongst the most common sizes available
The most used being 2’6” x 6’6”
The best policy , as before is to measure the existing door and get the nearest size to it
If it is not exactly the same always go to the larger size as it can be cut down to suit the opening
Hope this helps
Thanks Tony OBM"
"Usually the door leaf is 8250x2030 mm ( with x length )
and if you change the doors completely
(door leaf+ door frame) try to buy a proper set (properly frame dimension for door leaf dimension)"
