Door sizes in the UK don’t have to be a specific size. If you’re unsure what size you need, take the time to measure up using this simple guide. Internal doors have to meet minimum height and width requirements due to building regulations but there’s nothing to dictate that all doors must be ‘x’ size. This can lead to some difficulty in finding a door that will fit, especially when you throw metric and imperial measurements into the mix. The industry hasn’t widely decided which measurement is king yet so the metric to imperial door size conversion charts below should help you understand the size of an internal door.

Contact us for more information or for further advice on which size door is best for your application. Don’t forget, if you’re door size is exactly 1981 x 530, you could opt for 1981 x 533 as internal doors can be trimmed a little. Always opt for a door that’s slightly bigger if your exact size is unavailable.
