James94 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Just in the middle of installing my stud walls and would like some help with the finished stud positions to enable casing and door to fit. I’ve fitted a couple of cheap casings and doors a few years ago but want to know the easiest way. I know there are different size doors and casings, I’m looking at a slightly more expensive door probably a pre hung to aid in fitting. Should I leave a few millimetres either side and shim it or exact size so it will screw tight to studs? Regards. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James94 Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 Haven’t really progressed with this, I’ll be going for 2040 x 826 x40 mm doors. Is there a set measurement to add to the 826 with which will give the overall opening size. I think I’m going to give 5mm each side for packing out and say 3 mm for door and paint inside casing, it’s the last measurement I can’t get my head around. Is there a standard size depth for the rebate? not the 44mm for the door to fit flush. Regards. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite easy to remember with Metric doors as they go up in 100mm increments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James94 Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 Thanks for the advice we have now got our opening measurement after scratching my head and a lot of confusion. I think the bit I was struggling to get my head round was how much to add for the casing (the rebated section depth). James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
