How to measure an interior door. Entrance door dimensions. What width dobori need

When buying a new interior door, it is important not only to choose the design and color of the structure, but also to correctly determine the dimensions of the canvases for each room. To do this, you must first make accurate measurements. doorways, and after that, based on this information, calculate the size of each door block.

Standard and non-standard doorways

In typical high-rise buildings doorways usually have a standardized width depending on the room:

bathrooms and bathrooms - 63 ... 76 cm;
kitchen - 77 ... 87 cm;
living rooms - 88 ... 110 cm;
opening for the front door to the apartment - 90 ... 110 cm.

The height of the opening in kitchens and rooms varies from 204 cm to 210 cm, and in bathrooms and toilets there are often passages 194-203 cm high, which requires the installation of lower canvases or changes in the dimensions of the installation site.

Passages of non-standard width and height are usually found in old buildings and private cottages. Also, often as a result of redevelopment, even in standard apartments, instead of standard openings equip wider or higher aisles.

You can take measurements of doorways by inviting a professional measurer. But if you decide to measure yourself, then you must first learn the rules for performing this operation - how to correctly measure the width of the opening, how to correctly measure the height of the opening and how to measure the thickness of the wall.

How to correctly measure the width of the opening?

The width of the doorway is measured at three points - top, middle and bottom. From the values obtained, the minimum result is selected, and it will be the width of a particular doorway.

In typical apartments, the following width standards are usually adhered to door structures by setting:

in the kitchen - canvases 70 cm;
in the bathroom and toilet - products 60 or 55 cm;
in rooms - models 80 cm;
as a second entrance door - 90 cm options.

Majority major manufacturers produce door leafs adapted to the dimensions of typical passages. The width of the canvases is usually equal to 600 mm, 700 mm, 800 mm, 900 mm. Some trademarks you can also find models with a width of 550 mm and 400 mm, but their choice is small. Such a variety makes it easy to choose a canvas for a typical room.

If you have old doors installed and you are satisfied with their width, then you can simply measure the parameters - let them correspond to the dimensions door leaf new.

How to correctly measure the height of the opening?

The dimensions of the opening in height must also be measured at three points - along the side slopes and in the middle. From the obtained values the smallest is chosen, for this parameter it is necessary to select doors.

The standard height of the door leafs is 2 meters, they fit into the installation place with a height of 204 to 210 cm. With a higher passage height, the width of the standard trim may not be enough to mask the junction of the door frame and the wall. In this case for decorative frame door construction use wider platbands or install a portal with a capital.

AT model range some brands you can find models with a height of 1.9 meters. They are installed in bathrooms and toilets. Such canvases are suitable for aisles with a height of 203 cm or less.

IMPORTANT!

Even if you are sure that the repair in your house is done perfectly, you should still measure the doorway at three points in height and width. Otherwise, you run the risk that the finished door unit will be wider or higher than the installation site, and you will have to bear unplanned costs.

How to measure wall thickness?

To determine the wall thickness, measurements are taken at three points and the largest of these values \u200b\u200bis chosen. The standard for doorway wall thickness is 6 to 8 cm, which is what most manufacturers of interior doors are guided by.

If the wall thickness is greater than the width of the box beam, it is necessary to install door extensions. These are strips of various widths, with the help of which door slopes are formed. They have the same texture and color as the entire door structure.

Door extensions not only give the opening an aesthetic appearance, but also protect the slopes from scratches and abrasion. Therefore, do not save on their installation.

When to take measurements?

An accurate measurement of the dimensions of the doorway is carried out after finishing the walls and laying the decorative flooring. Otherwise, there is a risk that the selected doors cannot be installed due to the fact that the opening is smaller than the dimensions of the door block.

But it is necessary to pre-measure the doorway even before performing a rough finish. This will allow you to choose the size of the opening in accordance with the line of standard canvases. And then you will not have to overpay for interior doors of non-standard sizes.

It is not difficult to reduce the size of the passage; brick, drywall or wood are usually used for this. The expansion of the installation site can affect the strength of the wall, this operation must be carried out with caution, strictly observing the established building codes.

Why are measurement errors dangerous?

Professional measurements are a guarantee that the doors you have chosen can be installed quickly, without problems and without additional financial costs. After all, it is far from always possible to increase the size of the installation site, especially when it comes to bearing wall. And if it's already done finishing walls, then to narrow the passage you will have to spend a lot of effort and additional money.

If you are not sure about your measurements or do not want to take risks, then it is best to purchase doors with a turnkey installation. In this case, the seller is responsible for the correct measurements, so you can be sure that each doorway will correspond to the dimensions of the leaf, and if there are errors, all replacements will be made at the expense of the installer. You can order a turnkey installation service in the online store of the Porta Prima factory or in sales outlets.

Swing door dimensions

Determining the dimensions of a swing-type door is carried out taking into account the height and width of the leaf, the thickness of the door frame, the presence or absence of a threshold.

The passage parameters for mounting a swing door block are calculated according to the following rules:

opening width = web width + box thickness x 2 + mounting gap 2 cm x 2 + technological gap 3-5 mm;
opening height when mounting doors without a threshold = leaf height + frame thickness + mounting gap 2 cm x 2 + technological gap 3-5 mm;
passage height when installed with a threshold = web height + box thickness x 2 + mounting gap 2 cm x 2 + technological gap 3-5 mm.

Using these simple formulas, you can easily calculate the dimensions interior door for each room of an apartment, house or office.

Don't forget about extras. Finishing strips are produced different widths, they can be joined together and cut along, which allows you to pick up decoration for walls of any thickness. With their help, you can also mask the vertical deviation of the slope; for this, the bar is cut off in the form of a wedge.

Sliding door dimensions

Sliding doors today are increasingly replacing traditional hinged designs.

Dimensions sliding systems depend on the type of mechanism used:

sashes move parallel to the wall;
the canvas goes inside the wall into the cassette;
panels overlap when opened.

For example, for sliding door structures, the leaf should be 5-7 cm wider than the opening. This is due to the fact that such doors, in fact, perform the function of a screen and should block the passage from the side. Therefore, the leaves can be significantly wider, but not narrower than the width of the passage.

If a sliding door-pencil case is installed, its width is selected so that the canvas protrudes slightly from the wall. This allows you to conveniently close the doors.

For wide openings, designs of two or more wings are used, which are selected from standard-width canvases. In this way, it is possible to block passages of almost any size.

Non-standard doorways - solutions

If in your apartment or house custom sizes openings, then best solution there will be a narrowing or widening of the passages up to standard dimensions. This will allow you to install standard interior doors instead of ordering custom-sized canvases.

The advantages of installing door blocks of standard sizes include:

fast installation time - canvases are available in stock;
much lower price than models of atypical sizes;
a wide range of designs and colors.

If the selected canvas does not fit in the height of the doorway, you can trim it. Doing this on your own is undesirable, since you need to use professional tool. It is best to contact a company that provides such services.

In some cases, it is not possible to change the dimensions of the passage for technical or financial reasons. Then you have to order the production non-standard doors. They cost 30-40% more than mass-produced products, and their production usually takes several weeks.

Entrance doors are of great variety. On sale there are standard and non-standard models. In order to choose the right door block that matches the original doorway, you need to clearly understand the installation technology and the procedure. And also know the rules of installation entrance doors.

Overall dimensions of entrance doors

The specificity of the entrance doors is that they are subject to increased requirements. The main ones are strength, reliability and durability. To solve these problems, there are many tricks and constructive nuances. The door leaf is installed from metal or wood species such as oak and hornbeam. Strengthen the design of the door frame, install locks and hinges of increased anti-burglary resistance. In addition, the front door serves as the main portal for moving furniture, household utensils and, in fact, people. Its dimensions are always assumed to be larger than those of interior doors.

The metal-plastic front door is reinforced with additional hinges and armored glass

When selecting, they are guided primarily by the size of the doorway, the size of which is laid down at the design stage. If the dimensions of the opening do not suit you, during redevelopment it is increased or decreased, bringing it into line with the desired size of the doors.

Practice has shown that the most acceptable type of entry for entry is a hinged type of door. Unlike sliding or, for example, retractable, this design is less exposed to external influences, has good thermal insulation and noise reduction.

When installing, choose which way the door opens. If the opening is carried out to the outside, the space inside the hallway is saved. Knocking out such a door is more difficult, since the canvas rests rigidly on the supporting surface of the door frame.

Doors that open counterclockwise are called "right", clockwise - "left"

On the other hand, in accordance with the rules fire safety, it is recommended to open the front door inward - this allows rescuers to quickly enter the building in extreme situation and help residents.

Standard dimensions of entrance doors

With a huge variety of entrance doors, manufacturers adhere to certain standards specified in SNiP and produce finished goods the following sizes:

Width. Varies in the range from 850 to 910 mm. It is possible to increase up to 1010 mm with a single-leaf design, 1300-1500 mm for one-and-a-half and 1900-1950 for double-leaf doors.
Height. Can be from 2000 to 2300 mm. The exact size is adjusted depending on the position of the ceiling above the floor and in relation to the width of the door leaf.
Thickness. This parameter of the door leaf is not strictly regulated. However, it must be borne in mind that the sash must withstand both mechanical loads and temperature and humidity changes. As a rule, the thickness of a wooden door (panel or panel) starts from 50 mm and above. Metal doors are made from sheet steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Metal-plastic sashes have a cross section of 50–75 mm, depending on the number of profile chambers (or double-glazed windows, if any).

The door block has several sizes: along the opening, along the door frame and along the door leaf

Entrance door frame dimensions

In most cases, the front door is sold complete with a door frame. The accompanying documents indicate the overall dimensions of the unit. In the event that the equipment is carried out independently, when calculating the dimensions of the door leaf, the dimensions of the door frame are added. In this case, it must be taken into account that between the sash and the frame there should be a mounting gap of 2.5–4 mm.

As a rule, ready-made door frames are sold under a certain standard of leaf (or two sheets in a double-leaf version). If there is a need for preliminary measurements, then the door frame is measured along the surface of the junction with the wall hole.

It is necessary to measure the external dimensions of the frame without taking into account the platbands

When choosing a door frame for entrance doors, you need to remember that the door leaf in the closed position rests on a rubber or silicone seal. The frame design must include a special mounting slot for the seal. This is necessary to seal the doorway and soften the blows of the canvas on the support bar.

Standard dimensions of entrance doors with a frame

For ease of selection and clarity, simple tables are used.

Table: correspondence between the dimensions of the door block and the doorway

It should be remembered that when installing the door unit, it is necessary to maintain technological gaps along the perimeter of the opening in the amount of 15–25 mm. This is due assembly rules. The gaps are used not only for filling with heat-insulating materials, but also for leveling the structure in the vertical and horizontal planes.

The insulation between the wall and the door block eliminates thermal bridges through which cold penetrates into the building. Usually it is polyurethane foam or mineral wool.

Technological gaps between the leaf and the frame are necessary for the free movement of the sash

Dimensions of the opening under the front door

The term " doorway” is used to describe a rectangular space allocated for the installation of a door unit. It includes three dimensions:

width (in the horizontal plane);
height (in the vertical plane);
depth (thickness of the wall or partition of the building).

These parameters are measured in the metric system of measures, which is now recognized as universal. The units of measurement are millimeters or centimeters. Professionals prefer to work with millimeters, as this achieves the necessary measurement accuracy.

Standard sizes doorway (width*height, mm):

880*2080;
920*2100;
1000*2100;
1270*2100.

The total width of the doorway is the sum of the width of the door block plus technological clearances

Measuring the dimensions of the doorway is carried out using a tape measure. A sketch is drawn on a piece of paper, onto which all the dimensions of the hole in the wall are sequentially transferred. It is necessary to note the height of the side surfaces, the width of the upper crossbar, the width of the threshold and the thickness of the wall. The opening is not always strictly rectangular, so it is necessary to indicate the exact dimensions of each face of the wall on the drawing. This is especially important if the door is made according to an individual project.

The drawing is made on a piece of paper with dimensions in millimeters.

Even 100 years ago, along with the metric system of measures, there were Russian and English measured systems. In English, inches and feet were used, in Russian - spans, cubits and arshins. Today, the span system is being revived in private construction. It is believed that a house built with reference to the "size" of a particular person has a positive effect on the energy of the tenant.

Pyadeva system of measures allows you to build houses for a specific person

If the opening is smaller than the dimensions of the installed door, it is expanded taking into account the required clearances. stone walls cut with a grinder or a wall chaser, wooden ones with an electric jigsaw or chainsaw. Too large openings are increased to the specified dimensions. AT wooden walls install additional bars. Stone ones are reported with bricks or building blocks.

When reducing the opening, follow the general construction rules for plastering walls

It is widely practiced to fit the opening under the right dimensions with the help of additional sashes (in width) or transoms (in height).

The transom above the door is used to decorate and additional lighting the hallway.

How to correctly measure the front door

If an old door is installed in the opening, it must first be dismantled. But since it is impossible to leave a house or apartment without an entrance door, then on preparatory stage it is enough to remove the platbands (if any). After access to the wall opens, you can measure the height and width of the doorway. It is not always possible to accurately measure the depth, however, for the manufacture of metal or plastic doors, the depth of the opening does not play a role. Only when installing a wooden door frame (which happens infrequently), the depth of the doorway is taken into account. In extreme cases, a frame with extensions is used, which is adjusted to the desired depth of the door opening.

Before you properly measure, you need to stock up on the following:

tape measure;
paper for recording dimensions;
pencil or ballpoint pen;
chisel.

Brief instructions for measuring the opening:

The work on measuring the opening usually begins with the removal of platbands. They can be removed by squeezing them out of the door frame with a chisel. If after that the boundaries of the doorway are not visible, then the wallpaper and plaster at the measurement points are removed with a chisel.
The size of the opening may vary depending on the location of the measurement. Therefore, the width is measured in three places. Two measurements are made at a distance of approximately 20 cm from the top and bottom of the door and one in the middle.
Vertical measurement is done in two places. At the same time, attention is paid to the presence of a threshold. If there is no threshold, then the size from the top surface to the floor is taken into account.

Disassembly of the old door is done in the reverse order of assembly

It should not be forgotten that the vast majority of entrance doors are equipped with a threshold. Therefore, measurements of the width must be made both at the top of the opening and at the bottom. This will eliminate errors when installing the door block. The height is measured at all corners of the rectangular hole in the wall.

Metal threshold protects the door from burglary

If, after dismantling the old door, plaster crumbles in the opening or the carrier falls out wooden beam before proceeding with measurements of the dimensions under new door it is necessary to strengthen the opening. Dilapidated plaster is beaten off, and wooden details fixed firmly to the wall. This must be done carefully, since the ends of the opening serve as the main support for the door frame. Next, measure the dimensions of the opening as described above.

When choosing a ready-made door block, which includes a door leaf with a frame, you need to compare its dimensions with the dimensions of the hole in the wall. The linear dimensions of the sidewalls and crossbars should not exceed the dimensions of the doorway. Ideally, a small gap of 15–25 mm should remain around the entire perimeter (with the exception of the threshold, which is installed directly on the floor).

Scheme for measuring the dimensions of the door, where W is the width, D is the height of the door

You can measure the dimensions of the door block yourself, using a tape measure. Or refer to the technical documentation, which shows all the dimensions of the product. Each manufacturer supplies the doors with a detailed data sheet, which also describes the equipment and installation features during installation.

Gaps allow you to align the door frame in a vertical plane

If the assembly of entrance doors is carried out from prefabricated parts - the canvas and the door frame are purchased separately, then the selection of the box is based on the dimensions of its outer edges. It is necessary to choose such a door frame, the outer edges of which "fit" into the doorway with the above technological gap.

Video: installing the front door

Installing and replacing the front door is a responsible business. From right choice type of doors and installation depends on the duration of operation, reliability and appearance entrance to the building. Turning to experienced professionals, you will spend more money, but you will get guarantees that are worth it.

Everyone knows that a well-done repair is an expensive undertaking. In order to perform all the work correctly and on time, everything must be thoroughly planned. And, of course, to buy everything suitable materials, everything should be well calculated and measured. The same applies to interior doors.

What sizes to take?

Why you need to know the dimensions of the opening

In order to choose the right door you like, you should know what size to buy a canvas and whether they will buy extras. It will be much easier to choose such a product if you know all the quantities. Without the help of a specialist, taking measurements with your own hands will not be difficult, but you should still take this process more seriously. Having the slightest errors in the calculations, there is a risk of purchasing products that will be smaller or, on the contrary, will not be able to fit into the doorway.

The final result of the work done will depend on the correctness of the measurements made, see the photo.

Required Tools

To make all the necessary measurements of the interior door yourself, you will need tools. You will need a pencil and paper to record all the data generated. You can take all measurements with a tape measure. With it, you can measure the height, width and thickness of the doorway. Knowing all these dimensions, you can easily choose your favorite model of door products.

How to measure a doorway with old doors

This method is easier, and even a beginner can handle it. You will only need to remove the casing and measure everything external dimensions old door.

First you need to measure the width of the opening. Next is the length and depth. All data is recorded on paper. The process itself goes like this: you stand in the opening and take measurements, as shown in the photo. Existing platbands are not included in the calculation. If in doorway there is no canvas, then the dimensions of the opening and the thickness of the walls are measured.

To know the side of opening the product, you need to stand facing the door so that the product swings open on itself. If the hinges are on your left when opening, then the opening side is left, and vice versa.

If you do not like the dimensions of an outdated door, then it is recommended to call the master.

How to measure an empty opening

If you have an empty opening or the dismantling of an old door with a frame has already been completed, you decide to do all the measurement work yourself, then you should know that such work is more laborious and requires special skills. In this case, all measurements take place along the openings.

The doorway should have distinct lines. Protruding parts, foreign elements are not allowed. At correct measurement all possible changes should be taken into account, which include the installation of the ceiling, laying tiles and laminate. If you are doing repairs, then the doors must be installed at the last moment. This is very important, since a couple of centimeters can be added at the time of flooring. All previous measurements will be incorrect.
The border of the top of the opening must be parallel to the floor, see the photo. A deviation of more than five millimeters is not allowed. With the help of the level, vertical walls are also measured. During measurements, the walls of the opening should be clearly checked, they should be in the same plane.
Using a tape measure, the width, height of the opening and the thickness of the walls are measured.
It should be understood that only a correctly made measurement guarantees quality installation. How to properly produce the desired dimensions, you can find out by watching the video.

If you cannot choose the model of an interior door of your size that you like, do not rush to make it to order. In this case, the door block will help you smallest size, and the delta will close when mounted.

What do you do before you buy new clothes? Determine your size. Doors are an outfit for your apartment, and here it is very important to know the exact dimensions so as not to make a mistake when buying. There is a fairly simple general system to help you get the right interior doors in Tula .

Opening dimensions

Before you start measuring, make sure that nothing will interfere with you. There should not be anything superfluous in the opening, remove old box, platbands, bare walls should remain. Usually standard width openings in the apartments are approximately 0.9 meters, and the height is 2.1. It happens, of course, and more, up to 2.3, so check the measurement to avoid mistakes. Then we need to take into account the fact that before the door leaf is installed, the box and insulation will take their rightful place in front of it. Their total thickness will take approximately 2.5 cm. But we have two slopes, which means that we multiply this figure by two, subtract the resulting amount from the width of the opening. For example, if we have an opening width of 0.86 meters, then the following formula goes 0.86-0.025 * 2 = 0.81 meters. So we got the size of the door leaf. In exactly the same way, we calculate the height, with the only difference, there is no need to multiply the thickness of the box by two. It has three sides, and the lower element is missing there. This formula is equally good for measuring both wooden and metal doors.

Wall thickness

In order to measure the thickness of the walls, it is best to use a caliper, it will help you accurately, quickly and conveniently calculate the dimensions we need. But if your house doesn't have one useful tool, do not be upset and do not rush to the store. It is quite possible to replace it, for this we use a cunning system. Place rulers on both sides of the doorway, measure the distance between the ends protruding from the opening. If your apartment is not located in a new building, but, for example, in a Stalinist building, then the thickness of the wall there can be much greater than in other houses. For such cases, you will need to install additional slopes.

If you decide to change everything at the same time interior doors and buy the same models in one place, you can get a "pleasant" surprise. When the boxes that fit perfectly into the living rooms are absolutely not suitable for the kitchen or bathroom. And most often a small threshold is to blame for this, it was he who stole such necessary centimeters of your house. If you forget about it, you will have to shorten the doors. This is extra hassle and serious damage to the aesthetic side. And metal or plastic doors generally not subject to such manipulations.

Before you start measuring, make sure that the walls and ceiling are completely finished. It would seem that the plaster that it can change, or too flooring. But believe that sometimes these millimeters can play a decisive and fatal role in your repair. Don't buy doors in Tula until major repairs are completed.

In order to correctly place an order in the door store and decide which doors to buy, you first need to measure the interior doors.

To purchase doors, you will need the following information:

1. The width of the doorway.

It is very easy to freeze it. We take construction tape measure and measure at three to four points (bottom, top and middle - a must!). As a basis, it is better to take the minimum size obtained or the arithmetic mean, if the wall can be corrected, for example, break concrete or plaster a little. And this is of course in the event that the door block will not fit or the resulting gaps on the foam are too large and will not close with a casing.

Result: 920 mm (you got it: at the top 920, in the middle 925 and at the bottom 930 mm.). Suitable for this width standard door by 800 mm.

Advice: Since the installation of doors is the final stage of work and the new wallpaper will already be pasted over, glue them in such a way that there is an overlap on the opening. This will help to avoid problems when installing the trim on the door frame, which, with an opening width of 920 mm, may not overlap the pasted wallpaper, for example, indented from the edge of the opening. It is important that the walls, at least near the openings, be even, since the platbands are the rule that will show the quality of the repair right away!

2. Height

Some important points in height. The first thing to do is to measure in the same way as in the first case at three points, from the left edge, then from the right and in the middle. Secondly, it is necessary to take into account the level of the floor, whether it will change and to what height ( concrete screed, laminate, tile, parquet, etc.). It's easier when the finished floor is ready.

Result: 2100 mm (you got it: on the left 2120 in the middle 2110 and on the right 2100 mm.). Under this width, a standard canvas of 2000 mm is suitable. or not standard 2050 mm. The latter will not require modifications of the opening in height, but the standard one, 2 meter canvas and its platbands may not close a height of 2,100, and 2120 mm - they will not close for sure!.

Advice: First of all, consider the first tip! Still more important is that modern manufacturers doors in Russia are focused on an opening with a height of 2080 mm. This means that it is better to plaster and lower an unsuitable opening in advance, leading to standard view. At this stage, consider whether there will be a door with a threshold or not. The standard dimensions of the assembled door block according to the box can always be clarified on the manufacturer's website and from the supplier.

3. Wall thickness.

An important indicator when deciding on the standard of doors. It is necessary to measure at least four points. By analogy, we take a larger size.

Result: 120 mm

Advice: With a standard of 75 mm, we are dealing with a 120th wall and an order, subsequent installation - either non-standard door frames, or with the purchase and installation of a box expander - an extension (slope for interior doors). Installing a dobornik, a very common operation. Why and how to order or install an add-on, we consider in detail on the pages of our website.

4. Opening doors.

Determining the opening of future doors is quite simple. It is necessary to become facing the interior door, mentally pull it by the handle towards you and open it. At the same time, on which side the hinges will be, so is the door.

Result: Right

Advice: Think carefully about the future opening, taking into account convenience and fire regulations! In some cases, when inserting hinges and a lock under production conditions, it will be impossible to change the opening after purchase and delivery!

Here is what we ended up with:

Opening 920*2100*120
Door leaf 800*200 - Right
Extension 120 - 75 = 45 mm (requires an extension bar of 45 mm or more) or a non-standard box of 120 mm in width.

That's it - you can go to the store to buy new interior doors!

With independent measurements, it is necessary to understand that this article is for informational purposes only, is not a panacea, and possibly does not take into account complex and non-standard cases of such a diverse process.
