internal door size - help!
Reply with quote Thanks

we've just moved into a house and want to replace the internal doors. measured them and went to the diy stores, only to find our doors are a v unusual size!! 202 cm x 75.5 cm - short of having to shell out for custom made doors - is there anywhere else we can buy this size?

762mm by 1981mm is a pretty standard size. If you were willing to put a 40mm batton on the bottom (or fit a deep s**g pile carpet) and shave 7mm from the width any of these would do the job:

Somerset Oak 4 Panel
Somerset Oak 6 Panel
Somerset Oak Half light
Antique Pine 4 Panel
Antique Pine 2 light

No, because it's not a standard size door icon_cry.gif

Another way is to reduce the door frame height by planting a timber under the door head frame but will mean messing about with the architrave etc.
