Are you planning to install an 80 cm door with an adjustable door frame and wondering what size opening would be most suitable for an 80 cm door with an adjustable door frame? This popular size is often chosen for apartment doors or children’s room doors. Choosing the right dimensions for the opening in the wall is crucial for efficient and trouble-free installation, as well as for the proper functioning of your interior doors. Remember that adjustable door frames for 80 cm doors come in two variants: rebated and non-rebated, each of which requires a slightly different opening width.
For 80 doors with adjustable rebated frames, the optimal wall opening width is 888 mm. This dimension allows for easy installation of the frame, while ensuring sufficient space for installation foam and precise levelling. An adjustable rebated door frame is a standard solution where the door leaf, when closed, forms a characteristic rebate, slightly protruding beyond the frame. It is a universal choice for most rooms.
If, on the other hand, you decide on an 80 cm door with an adjustable non-rebated door frame, the opening in the wall should be wider, measuring 914 mm. A non-rebated door frame is a modern solution which, when the door is closed, creates a smooth, uniform surface with the door frame, which is particularly appreciated in minimalist interiors. A wider opening is necessary due to the specific nature of concealed hinges.
When preparing an opening for an 80 cm door with an adjustable door frame, always remember to leave a few millimetres of clearance on each side (usually 1-2 cm on each side), which will facilitate precise positioning of the door frame and enable effective use of assembly foam. Accurate measurements and careful execution of the opening guarantee that your 80 internal door with an adjustable door frame will serve you for many years, looking aesthetically pleasing and functioning flawlessly.
