30" or 33" access door to garage man cave.

I need to lay some bricks that will form the width of the door aperture leading into the room on the lefthand side of the garage. The internal dimensions of the room are 2.47m x 5.0m. For reference the overall garage width is 7.2m plus 2.3m for the lean-too on the right.

 

The function of the room is not clear at the moment, probably lots of shelving and maybe a tumble drier plus some bicycles or a treadmill.

 

The masonry apertures for external doors to the main house are 1025mm but I am tempted to reduce that by 75mm for this pedestrian garage door. For comparison the main entrance door to the static caravan is 28 1/4 inches wide and seems fine but the shed access door is 29" wide which feels constricted at times probably because the headroom is just 1.76m.

 

It is not clear from the drawing that the open parking portion of the garage is completely separated from the lefthand room.

Make it 33".  Fit a door closer with a hold open function.

I have one of those, it’s called a fire extinguisher ?

Ok clear message in the responses so far. I will have to go outside and rethink my brick gauging to loose 75mm somewhere, I might be gone some time.
