600mm, are you sure! :eek:

regardless, even if you fit a standard size 2'- 6" (762mm) door you will still only need a 75mm x 100mm p.c.c. builders lintel. allow 150mm end bearings.

i think 100mm end bearings may even suffice in this case, but i'm not an s.e.

there aren't any steel beams (point load) directly above proposed doorway are there?
