Most home doors are between 24 and 36 inches wide. Always check your space to make sure the door will fit.
For accessibility, doors should be at least 32 inches wide. This helps people in wheelchairs or with walkers move easily.
Check local building codes before picking a door size. Following these rules keeps everyone safe and able to use the space.
Hele Doors has many standard and custom doors to choose from. Look at their options to find the right door for your place.
When you pick a new door for your home, you want it to fit perfectly and look great. Let’s break down the standard door size for each main exterior spot: front entry, patio, and garage entry.
The front entry is the first thing people see. Most homes use a standard door height of 80 inches. The standard door width is usually 36 inches, but you might also see 30, 32, or even 42 inches for wider openings. Some newer homes use taller doors, up to 96 inches. Double doors and doors with sidelights are also popular for a grand look.
Here’s a quick table to help you compare:
Door Type | Width (inches) | Height (inches) |
|---|---|---|
Standard Exterior Door | 36 | 80 |
Newer Homes (Tall Doors) | 36 | 96 |
Single Door | 44 | 96 |
Double Door | 80 | 96 |
Single Door with Sidelights | 55 | 96 |

Inside your home, doors are not all the same size. Picking the right size helps your rooms work better. Let’s look at what you need for bedrooms, bathrooms, and closets.
Bedroom doors are usually 80 inches tall. The width changes by room. Main bedrooms use doors that are 34 to 36 inches wide. Other bedrooms use doors that are 30 to 32 inches wide. Here’s a table to help you:

Getting the right door size starts with careful measuring. If you want your new door to fit perfectly, follow these steps:
Measure the Width:
Use a tape measure to check the width of your door at the top, middle, and bottom. Write down each number. Use the smallest one as your final width. This helps you avoid surprises if the frame isn’t perfectly straight.
Measure the Height:
Measure from the top edge of the door down to the floor or sill. Do this on the left, center, and right sides. Again, use the smallest number for your door height.
Measure the Thickness:
Open the door and measure the edge. Most interior doors are about 1-3/4 inches thick, but always check to be sure.
Check the Frame and Jamb:
If you plan to replace the whole door and frame, measure the frame’s depth and the door jamb. This makes sure your new door fits snugly.
Tip: Always double-check your numbers. Even a small mistake can lead to a door that sticks, leaks air, or just doesn’t look right.
When you replace a door, accuracy matters. Here’s what you should keep in mind:
Measurement mistakes can cause big problems. You might end up with a door that doesn’t close, lets in drafts, or looks uneven.
Always measure in three places for both width and height. Use the smallest measurement each time.
Check that your opening is level and plumb. If it isn’t, you may need to adjust your frame or use shims.
Make sure you know your wall depth and allow space for hardware.
Before you start, look for anything that could get in the way, like thick flooring, wires, or pipes.
If you want a custom door, these steps become even more important. Custom doors need exact measurements to fit perfectly. You can always reach out to me at Hele Doors for help.
