We provide a unique opportunity - any size of the door leaf with a step of 1 cm. This guarantees confidence that the doors of our factory will fit any doorway. The only limitation is the maximum possible size of the canvases 240x100cm.

Keep in mind that when changing sizes, the proportions of panels, standing elements may change. For example, with an increase in the height of the Gloria model, the internal lattice will remain the same size, and with a width of 60 cm, the Vienna model can only have one row of small panels.

But even in this case there is a way out - you can complement the height of the opening with a transom in the same style as the door model. With a wide doorway, you can install a swing door of two halves. But in this case, there is a way out - you can supplement the height of the opening with a transom in the same style as the door model. With a wide doorway, you can install a swing door of two halves.
We approach each order individually. Our managers will certainly advise and suggest the best option in a particular non-standard case.

If you do not want to overpay for non-standard interior doors of 20-50 percent, then you need to decide in advance on the doorway.

You need to build on the doors you like, the variety of which can satisfy even the most fastidious taste. Basically, doors are produced in standard sizes: 2 meters high and 60, 70, and 80 cm wide.

Useful information:

Less common is a standard with a width of 40, 55 and 90 cm and a height of 1.9 meters. The thickness of the door frames can vary in the range of 1.5-4 cm.

Table of standard opening sizes

Depending on the room, a typical door size may be used.

This is usually put:

  • in the bathroom and toilet, the opening height is usually from 1.9 to 2 meters, width 55-60 cm, depth 5-7 cm.
  • in the kitchen, height 2 meters, width 70 cm, depth 7 cm.
  • in the bedroom or living room, the doorway will be 2 meters high, 80 cm wide and 7 cm to 20 cm deep.
  • if the door to the bedroom is double-winged, then only the width will change: it will be either 2 * 60 cm or 40 + 80 cm.

After plastering and leveling the walls, the depth of the doorway will increase accordingly.

These dimensions of doorways are very difficult to overestimate. After all, if you did not take them into account in your calculations, then you may encounter a problem when your door frame does not fit in the opening. And after all, not every opening can be enlarged, sometimes it is impossible, due to the layout or design of the wall. If this is a load-bearing wall, then you will also encounter a number of difficulties.

Even a simple drywall wall is not easy to reduce due to the transfer of metal profiles. In this case, you will have to overpay for non-standard dimensions of the interior door.

There is also the opposite situation, when the doorway is much larger than the door. Here you will also overpay specialists when installing the door, for narrowing the opening.

An unpleasant situation may arise when, as a result of reduction, the platband cannot close the hole in the doorway. In this case, it will be necessary to close up uncovered sections of the wall, glue wallpaper or lay tiles. It is good if the room has not yet been glued, and if it has been glued, then everything will have to be re-pasted.

Therefore, even at the project stage, you need to determine the size of the doorways, then you will not have to overpay for non-standard doors or redo the opening.

What you need to know to calculate the doorway:

  • height and width of the proposed door
  • door frame thickness
  • box width
  • architrave width
  • the box will be with or without a threshold.

Suppose you need a door with dimensions of 2 by 0.8 meters and a thickness of 2.5 cm. To calculate the dimensions of the doorway, you need to add the dimensions of the box to the dimensions of the door, plus a mounting gap of 1 to 2 cm on each side.

Figure y shows a diagram of a doorway with a door and dimensions. Based on these data, we can easily get the width of the opening 800+30+30+10+10+4+2=886 mm or 88.6 cm.

You can find out the width of the box on the website of the manufacturer of the doors you like.

  • with threshold 2000+30+30+10+5+3=2078 mm. or 2 meters and 7.8 cm..
  • without threshold 2000+30+10+5+3=2048 mm. or 2 meters and 4.8 cm..

Pay attention to the fact that the most common thickness is 7.5 cm and therefore many manufacturers adhere to this particular size.

If the wall is thicker or thinner than the box, then you will need to install an extension or cut the box along, respectively. Without these operations, you will not be able to, and everything will look much worse.

As a rule, doorways are made in standard sizes. If you are a happy owner of such a design, you just need to choose a door for it to your liking.

How to determine the required size of the door leaf?

The optimal size of the door frame should be 2-3 cm smaller than the opening.

The easiest way to choose a door is to subtract 2 cm in width and height from the size of the opening. Please note: this size is not the parameters of the door leaf, but of the box.

For a standard opening, you can use the table below:

How to properly measure a doorway?

The dimensions of the opening are measured at three points along the width and at three points along the height. Further, in the selection of designs, they are repelled from the smallest value.

For example, at the bottom of the opening, the width is 88 cm, at the top - 86 cm, and in the middle - 87 cm. We start from the smallest parameter - 86 cm. We subtract the foaming gap (1 cm) from it, since the door should not enter the opening butt. Otherwise, even with a slight shrinkage of the house, it can warp.

In addition, the opening can be "littered" in some direction. The door must stand exactly in space, otherwise it will spontaneously open or close. Therefore, when taking measurements, you need to take into account the curvature of the wall - for this we use the building level.

If the distortions are large, the opening needs to be finalized. If they are insignificant, the size of the door is selected taking into account the skew so that the structure becomes level. All these recommendations are given by the measurer if you purchase a door at a certified point of sale. He will explain how the door will stand, what nuances need to be taken into account, as well as what installation options are possible. Only after determining the size of the opening and its irregularities, you can calculate the required size of the front door.

But what if the opening is non-standard?

How to choose a door for a non-standard opening?

Installing a door in a non-standard opening requires non-standard solutions. Each case is considered individually. Sometimes the doorway can be expanded or, conversely, narrowed. Then it will be possible to select not the door to the opening, but to “fit” the opening to the dimensions of the door frame.

In this case, the doors must be selected in such a way that their dimensions are as close as possible to the dimensions of a suitable opening. For example, if the width of the opening is 80 cm, and the size range of doors is from 86 to 100 cm, then the doors should be chosen with a minimum width of 86 cm, and, if possible, expand the opening. But it is worth noting that this possibility is not always available. And each case must be considered individually. However, there are general recommendations.

Installing doors in a narrow opening

If the opening allows, you can refine it. At the same time, it should be taken into account that, according to building codes, the supporting beam above the opening must rest on the wall by at least 15 cm. You can refine the opening if this value is greater, so that as a result it is 15 cm or more.

To expand the opening, you will need a special construction tool: a puncher, a grinder, a diamond blade, etc.

Installing a front door in a wide opening

According to the rules, the platband should cover the gap between the door frame and the wall. If the gap is wider, it needs to be finalized - narrowed to the desired size. You can lay a brick or put metal supports - a special square pipe.

If the opening is too low

As a rule, it is impossible to increase the opening in height, because in this case the load-bearing elements of the building would have to be demolished. If the wall is made of brick or foam block, a carrier lintel or a metal corner is placed above the opening, which is laid with a brick. If you remove part of this brick, the top of the opening may collapse.

If the opening is made of a concrete slab, there is a metal reinforcement inside it, which is also a load-bearing element. By cutting it, we break the structure of the wall. This requires special permission.

If the opening is too high

Its upper part can be laid with a brick - in the same way as the opening is being finalized in width.

Most manufacturers of entrance doors make them according to the most common openings of modern apartment buildings. The exception is most often country houses, where customers prepare individual openings, in accordance with their architecture.

It happens that the size of the doorway does not meet the standards that guide the manufacturer. In such cases, finding a suitable option in the store becomes impossible. Then the owner starts looking to order. What pitfalls can he meet?

Pros and cons of custom doors

Let's start with the positives. Today you can be a picky customer and feel free to order an individual design, especially when it comes to an old-style mansion. You will find the "same" color and harmonious fittings that will fit perfectly into your interior. Don't you know that a chic door is a visiting card of the house, because it will, like a magnet, attract the admiring glances of guests.

It is easy to see that the minus will be the production time and price. It consists of certain costs for the purchase of special materials by the manufacturer and an increase in labor costs for an individual order.

Non-standard opening - a solvable problem

Sometimes apartment owners face difficulties in measuring the dimensions of the entrance. Mistakes arise when people start measuring from boards smeared with plaster. The front door must be attached to a solid base.

The structural features of the house can affect the performance of the door. And here you will need the skill of a measuring engineer in order to correctly calculate the parameters. Width, opening angle, security, installation method and weight of the entrance door of non-standard sizes, everything in our company is negotiated with the client at the measurement stage.

There is an alternative option - to expand or narrow the doorway. If there is already an existing decorative finish, a professional craftsman will definitely warn you about the consequences of a particular choice, and will also recommend the most suitable materials. We can offer the installation of decorative trims and slopes in combination with the door finish of your choice.

arched doors

Arched openings appeared in ancient Greece. The Romans adopted this technology and spread it to Europe. Arches were at the entrance to temples and palaces of emperors.

The transom is made from the same material as the door, sometimes from glass, stained glass and other decorative elements. Arched doors successfully fit into the interiors of classical styles (Empire, Baroque, Rococo, Classicism). Here you can find custom-made entrance arched doors from Wippro (Austria) and OpenGallery (Israel), as well as interior doors Mame (Germany).

Non-standard openings can also be encountered indoors. In order to separate one living area of ​​a house or apartment from another, you can install a light glass partition. Thanks to sliding mechanisms, in a few seconds you can delimit your living space.

Thus, a non-standard door can be both a creative idea and a forced necessity. In our company, you can order non-standard entrance doors (Wippro, OpenGallery) and Mame interior doors.
Whatever the challenge, with our doors and professional approach to every project - you can always solve it beautifully.

Installation of interior doors is not a very difficult, but responsible job that requires a very careful approach. Usually people trust its specialists, but what if finances do not allow using this service? Our article will come to your aid, which will tell you how to install non-standard interior doors with your own hands. But first, let's figure out what interior doors are.

Types of doors for interior space

Depending on the design characteristics, an interior door can be:

  • hinged, which has one or two wings. It is customary to mount a door with one leaf in standard openings, and for a non-standard opening it is more reasonable to take door leaves from two leaves;
  • folding, which is used to save space in the room. Depending on the design, they can be of different sizes and represent an accordion or a book;
  • a door-coupe, which looks like a construction of one or two wings that move along the wall along special guides. The installation of such doors will cost more if you order this service from specialists, and the cost of the doors itself is quite high;
  • the next category belongs to the group exclusive designs. These can be models made of one glass, stable models or structures that open in different directions.

opening measurements

The following describes the requirements that apply when the door leaf is installed for the first time, and not changed.

The first thing you need to pay attention to is the walls. Work on the installation of the door structure should begin only after all construction activities have been completed. If the walls have not yet dried out, then the installed door may warp during operation. The height of the threshold depends on the thickness of the floor covering and its type.

Before choosing an interior design, it is necessary to measure the doorway, and if its size is standard, then it will not cause much difficulty. And how is the installation of interior doors, if they have a non-standard size? You can order such a door in workshops, but you need to be prepared that its price can be quite large. The work on installing such models is not much different from standard designs, but still has its own nuances.

The frame and door leaf should not fit tightly together, ideally this distance should be 2 mm on the top side and 4 mm on the bottom side. If there are no such gaps, you will not be able to open or close the door. But you shouldn’t make them big either, otherwise, the door will stagger and close poorly.

The next step is to install double interior doors. At this stage, you have to choose its design, what it will be.

Both models have their advantages:

  • a doorsliding suitable for small spaces, so in order to save space - this is the best solution. To install such doors, fasteners of a special design are required, along which the sliding of the canvas will pass;
  • hinged construction more popular. Its installation can solve the problem of sound insulation, which a sliding model will never do. But the opening system will take up more usable space, so the installation of such models is recommended in spacious rooms.

Having decided on the design of the door, it is necessary to measure the opening and, if necessary, adjust the size necessary for such a model, reducing or increasing it. The work is not difficult, but you need to remember that the width of the opening should be greater than the width of the canvas, by about 90-110 mm.

The required size and width of the opening is determined by the following formula:

Shpr \u003d 2 * (Tdk + 3 + Shdp) + 4. Where

  • Spr is the width of the opening;
  • Tdk is the thickness of the timber;
  • Shdp is the width of the canvas.

If it is planned to install a sliding model, then the opening must be prepared in such a way that its width is 100 mm less than the door leaf.


Materials and tools

The next thing to do is prepare the necessary set of tools and accessories for the job:

  • chisels;
  • hammer;
  • screwdrivers;
  • roulette;
  • hacksaw;
  • level;
  • circular and miter saw;
  • screwdriver;
  • perforator;
  • electric mill.

Of the accessories you will need:

  • door hinges;
  • latch lock.

Dismantling of old structures

The next step involves dismantling the old door. To install interior models correctly, the size of which does not fit certain standards, you must remove the old ones. Demolition work begins with the removal of old structures. The old box is also dismantled.

To remove the door, you need to carry out the following manipulations with it:

  • open the door 90 degrees and pull the door leaf up.
  • if the door is very old, then it will not be possible to quickly remove the canvas. It must first be swung in different directions, gradually lifting it up until the canvas begins to be removed.

Once you have removed the door leaf, you can proceed to the next step. Next up is the box. To dismantle it, it is necessary to remove the solution that holds it with the opening, and then break out its components using a mount or other tool.


At this stage, the box is prepared for installation in the doorway. The work on its assembly will not cause difficulties, here, the main thing is to fit the timber to the required size.

To prevent this work from leading to a dead end, experts recommend using a formula that will help you find out the required size of the timber:

Shvk \u003d 2 * (Shd + 3) + 4. Where

  • Shvk is the width of the inside of the box;
  • Wd is the width of the door.

Without an indicator of width and height, this work on installing the door will be impossible.

Remember that the operation of the door depends on compliance with all the rules. The work on assembling the box is carried out according to the following principle:

  • put on the bar the required size of the segment and cut it along the marked lines;
  • the box is designed to hold door structures, so the next thing to do is to cut the hinges into the bars;
  • it remains to connect all the parts and fasten them.

Door frame installation

The installation of the box takes place in several stages:

  • the box is installed using the building level to avoid distortions. It is also recommended to prepare wedges so that the box does not move during fastening;
  • in addition, make sure that the bars are vertical so that the box does not go beyond the doorway;
  • after it is installed and adjusted horizontally and vertically, it must be fixed using wedges;
  • holes are drilled in the box for future self-tapping screws and marks are made on the wall;
  • remove the box and prepare holes in the wall, according to the marks;
  • plugs are installed in these holes and the box is put in place, after which it is attached to self-tapping screws;
  • the cracks are filled with foam.

As you can see, the work on installing the door frame is not difficult, the main thing is to follow the necessary algorithm of actions.


Installation of non-standard doors involves opening and closing doors in different directions. Therefore, before inserting the hinges, you need to decide on this moment and choose in which direction your doors will open.

Once you decide on this issue, you can start inserting loops. Work begins with the fact that holes are prepared on the side of the door from below and from above. The main parameter when marking holes is the height. Ideally, the height of the lower opening from the floor line should be 20-25 cm, and the height from the top edge of the door from 15-20 cm.

If your door has a standard size, then two hinges for fastening will be enough. If the size of the door is large and the weight is massive, then it is better to add another attachment point, then the hangers will withstand even the largest and most massive structure.

After marking, double-check its correctness so that you do not have to redo the work. In addition, the height at which the hinges are located must correspond to the height of the hinges marked on the box. Now you can fasten the hinges with self-tapping screws.

Door hinge and trim installation

After installing the hinges, they begin to hang the doors. Once you hang it, you can start installing the trim.

They can be installed in two ways:

  • with cutting corners at 45 degrees;
  • with 90 degree cut corners.

The work of installing platbands looks like this:

  • when the door leaf is installed, it is necessary to close the junction of the frame with the wall. For these purposes, platbands are used. Installing them is not very difficult. The required size of the platbands can be found by measuring the loot from the floor to the intersection of the upper beam of the box. This will be the height of the casing;
  • the resulting height is marked on the trim strip and the required size is cut off. If the platbands are installed at an angle of 45 degrees, then another 3 mm must be added to the resulting segment. If you install platbands at an angle of 90 degrees, then the height of the segment increases by the width of the installed platbands;
  • as soon as the required size of the platband has been measured, it is necessary to trim it;
  • it is recommended to mount canopies from the side of canopies, thereby making out the door leaf;
  • the rest of the canopies are prepared according to the same principle: mark out, and cut off. Please note that the height parameter may not correspond to the two slats of the canopies, it is better to take measurements for each casing separately.

Installing such a door uses a different algorithm of work:

  • rollers are installed on the door leaf;

  • the height at which the guide profile will be installed is measured;
  • at this level, it is necessary to fix the bar, and on it the guide profile;
  • install the door in the guide profile;
  • after such a door has been installed, the guide profile must be closed with a decorative strip.
