Knocking through brick wall to create a 800mm door opening.
Can anyone tell me what size lintel I would need?

Thanks!
 
hi

the lintel sounds fine so long as there aren't concentrated loads from above or that the formation of the opening doesn't remove buttressing or restrain to an adjacent wall...

regards
