Question

Accepted Answer

Doors come in all shapes and sizes, and interior doors are no exception. The dimensions and measurements of interior doors depend on the location of the door and its function.

Residential interior doors typically range from 30 inches to 36 inches in width. This is to accommodate single people or couples who use it for entryways into rooms, closets, hallways, and bathrooms. Standard door heights range from 80 inches to 96 inches; taller heights are available for custom orders. Standard thickness for an interior door is 1 3/8-inch but can vary between 1 3/4 inch – 2 inch thicknesses according to style preference and need.

Bi-fold doors also referred to as folding closet doors or accordion doors measure 24 – 48” in width with a standard height of 80 inches Taller heights are available but less common due to the style being designed primarily with space saving in mind; bi-folding doors take up less space open than simple hinged swinging interior doors while still providing generous access when needed.

Interior pocket doors slide into walls when opened depending on the application may require a wider opening that what a simple hinged swinging door would allow. Pocket door widths can vary depending on style but standard widths tend to fall around 24 -30” wide with standard heights ranging from 78-96 inches tall again depending on specific style, design elements and necessary clearances for operation within the wall framing chosen for both project sensibilities as well material limitations such as reduction of weight if required.

No matter what type of interior door you choose whether it be swinging, bi-folding or a sliding pocket each will offer varying sizes but many choices that should fit any situation perfectly allowing you complete endless options of customization synonymous with any true custom build or renovation!
