After the house is built, there are sometimes problems installing the doors. This may be the case if it is larger or smaller than the standard opening. If less, then there will be distances between it and the door itself.
When the door is larger than the opening, it will not be possible to install it at all, as it will not fit. Therefore, for doors, dimensions are accepted that should be followed when building a house.
Dimensions of door panels according to Russian State Standards
They are:
- The first indicator is the height of the door. It, according to GOST, should be 2 m. This size allows people to freely pass through such openings, and most of the ceilings in apartments have the same height. These values are calculated on the standard size of the door leaf for entrance and interior doors.
- The second indicator is the width of the doors. For entrance and interior openings, various sizes are used here. The size of the door leafs can be 800 or 1000 mm. According to GOST, it is 900 mm for the front door. Doors that separate rooms from each other, in accordance with GOST RF, have a size of 700-800 mm.
Due to the fact that the layout of houses is different, many manufacturers offer different sizes of the front door leaf. Therefore, the width of the door can reach from 120 to 150 cm. In this case, if the door is used with two leaves or its height is increased, a fixed part is installed on its upper part.
If you need to apply non-standard dimensions of the door leaf of interior doors, then they will not comply with GOST: they can be more or less than this value. A door up to 600 mm in size is installed in the bathroom and toilet. For the living room and kitchen, the doors are increased in size, as the hinged system is often used.
Door assignment
Depending on the purpose of the doors, their sizes may be different. Wide products are used for rooms such as a hall and an entrance hall. Narrow doors are placed in closets and other auxiliary rooms. In addition, they come in different designs: pendulum and sliding, with glazing, as well as cassette or folding into an accordion.
In order to install a new door after the redevelopment of the apartment, it is necessary, when creating doorways, to rely on standard door sizes. Ifto make them, not taking into account the generally accepted standard sizes, you will have to order a door leaf according to individual sizes. The cost of such services far exceeds the purchase of a standard product.
In addition, the installation will be quick and without any adjustments to the opening. Adjusting the doors to fit it will take a long time and require additional repair costs.
Dimensions of door panels: standards, according to GOSTs of the Russian Federation
GOST parameters for single-leaf doors that divide spaces between rooms are as follows:
- if the door is installed with a height of 190 cm, then its width should be 55 or 60 cm;
- if it has a height of 2 meters, then the width of such openings can have the following values: 90, 80, 70 and 60 cm.
The dimensions of the door blocks of the canvases, which are installed in the opening, swing mode and consist of two parts, are as follows:
- The height of such a door should correspond to 2 meters, while the width can be 120 cm: one leaf is 60 cm and the second is the same width.
- If the width of the door is 140cm, one part is 80cm and the other is 60cm, the height is 2 meters. This option is for sliding doors.
- The height of the door is 2 meters, the width of the doorway is 150 cm, one leaf of the door is 90 cm, and the second is 60 cm.
Dimensions of doors in the apartment
The door leaf dimensions are as follows:
- the door to the kitchen should be wide700mm, length 2000mm, depth 70mm;
- to the bathroom and toilet the door has a length of 1, 9 or 2 m. The width must correspond to 60 cm, the opening depth - 7 cm;
- for other rooms, the height should be 2 m and the width 80 cm, the depth of the door in the opening should be from 7 to 20 cm.
In addition to the indicated values, you also need to know the thickness of the door frame, the standard size of which is 75 mm. This parameter is taken into account by all manufacturers and builders, since if the indicator is not observed, the door will not be able to be installed in the desired opening.
Thickness of opening
One of the characteristics of the place for doors is the thickness, which is 75 mm - this is the standard value. Therefore, in a retail network, the sizes of canvases and door frames must match each other in all sizes.
If this indicator is not equal to this parameter, then the box will not fit the opening, will protrude from it or cannot be installed at all.
For the correct determination of all dimensions of the doorway, three values are taken. If they are different in these indicators, then you need to adjust the door opening, since the box can be installed loosely or will not fit this opening at all.
To adjust the size of the opening in a larger direction, they put platbands and sew additional structures that will ensure a stable location of the door.
The size of the entrance opening
These values are necessary for the correct construction of openings, in which door doors will then be installedlinens:
- The height of the opening can be observed within the following limits - from 194 to 203 cm, while the width of the opening is 63 or 65 cm, 66 or 76 cm is also possible.
- If the rooms have high ceilings, then the door opening should be from 201 to 205 cm. Then the width of the opening can correspond to the following values - from 66 to 76 cm, 77 or 87 cm, from 88 to 97 cm, 98-110 cm, 128-130 cm, 148-150 cm, 158-160 cm.
To find out if a given door fits a particular opening, you need to make calculations. The width and height of the door leaf are measured. To the figures obtained, you need to add 15 or 20 mm for the clearance during installation. This value is added to all door leaf sizes.
When there is no flooring yet, it is necessary to take into account the height of this leaf when installing the door. This is necessary in order for the door to successfully perform its functions.
How to determine the size of the required door
You need to do the following:
- Remove the old door from the doorway, clean the entire surface of plaster and putty.
- The width of the door is measured using measurements made in three places: this is the top, bottom and middle of the door.
- To find out the required door height, you need to measure the door opening from the top point to the bottom. It is better to take indicators in three places: on the right, on the left and in the middle, for a more accurate determination of the size.
- The seating depth is the thickness of the end of the door. It is measured with a tape measure.
Experts advise to measure the width with a tape measure to accurately obtain the dimensions. At the same time, in order to measure the height in a vertical position, the tape measure must be positioned accordingly.
In order to calculate the width of the door, it is necessary to measure the doorway from above and below, horizontally.
How to calculate door size
In order to determine whether a given door leaf will fit in a certain opening, the following calculations should be made. We measure the dimensions of the existing opening for the door. We get a length of 204 and a width of 90 cm. Now you need to calculate the dimensions of the interior door panels suitable for this opening.
To the width of the door leaf, which is 80 cm, add 25 mm. This is the thickness of the door frames. In addition, 15 mm must be added to this value - this is the installation distance. It is calculated from all sides of the door. After carrying out this calculation, we get the number 880 mm.
We calculate the height. To the length of the door, which is 2 meters, add 25 mm. This is the size of the boxes in the opening, in addition, you need to add 15 mm. This is for the top distance between the door and the opening. After the behavioral calculation, we obtain a parameter, on the basis of which we see that a door with a length of 2 meters and a width of 880 mm is ideal for this opening.
If the door frame is larger than the opening
In the event that the purchased door is larger than the opening, you need to use the following methods:
- there are times when the door is much smaller than the opening, then forTo do this, fill the rails on the end of the door, after lubricating them with glue, excluding the part on which the hinges are;
- when the door is larger than the opening, use a planer to remove the necessary part of the wood, while taking into account the gaps for mounting the door;
- when the door leaf is smaller than the slope by a large number of centimeters, slopes are installed in this opening, and then only the doors are mounted.
If all the proposed options have been tried, and the product cannot be installed, you need to order the door according to the measurements taken.
Types of door structures
The range of doors is diverse. They are made from different materials and have different designs. Interior doors are made from wood, fiberboard, chipboard and MDF sheet materials, in addition, materials such as metal, glass and plastic are used.
After the correct calculation is made, it is necessary to install the door. It will correspond to the size of the opening and fulfill its intended purpose.
All doors made of wood give each room a unique charm and decorate the interior of any room. Doors made of glass and metal are used for such a design direction as high-tech.
If you need an inexpensive option, you should use materials such as MJ, chipboard. They have a beautiful and high-quality coating, so they will decorate any interior.
How to check if the door is installed correctly
The installed door opens and closes effortlessly.
The door must be openfirmly and confidently in the position in which it is installed, there should be no displacement from the main axis. When at rest, it should not open or close on its own.
All door fittings: handle, hinges must match the sections of the opening with which they must be connected.
Pros of installing standard size doors
In the opening, which corresponds to the standard size, the door is installed quickly and easily, no additional materials are required. There is no need to order installation services, therefore, this is a money saving.
When installing a door of standard sizes, there is no need to make accurate measurements of the opening. If a lock and handle are included, they will match the doorframe.
Doors made of natural wood are cheaper than their counterparts, but made to order.
If repair or replacement is necessary, you can buy exactly the same door in the distribution network.
These models have an attractive appearance and a long service life.
Thanks to the right calculations, the door will be installed quickly and efficiently and will last for many years. In addition, its functionality will comply with the rules of use.
Based on the above, before buying, you should always consider the completeness and dimensions of door panels. To do this, you must first take measurements.
