What internal door sizes can I use?

[AlanUK]

I have a detached garage with room above, that I'm partitioning into two.  To maximise available space I want the smallest reasonable door size.

 

Wickes do one at 1981mm x 686mm.  Would this pass muster with Building Control?

 

Thanks.

Yes

Just in case anyone finds this thread and is thinking of door sizes in general, here's a link to loads of diagrams about door sizes ....

I found the charts helpful to explain why I'd made the rough openings the wrong size. Nuvver lesson learned. ?

 

Its Friday. Be Happy.

Thanks both.

small doors really need more space to either side of them or it becomes like walking through a tunnel and very difficult if carrying anything. (if opening the door towards you, you have to back up to open the door as opposed to stepping sideways)

Wider doors lend themselves to having shelves or furniture closer without causing an obstruction.
