How does that work when a standard door is 2.1m tall?

Anyone who has ever done anything related to doors knows, there is no such thing as a standard door.

My wife: We don't need to replace the door frame just the door

Me crosscutting and ripping my new door to fit the old frame: Great idea honey

That’s usually from the previous home owner who thought they could install the previous door themselves and not knowing the difference between a rough opening and finished opening.

There is absolutely a minimum size that doors need to be for almost any house. Yes you can incorrectly install other doors, but codes provide a minimum size for professionals to follow when installing. Which is 2.1m in most of the world. Other places will have their own standard size door, but yes every country absolutely has standard door sizes.

Why do you claim otherwise…? Just go look up any big box store door catalog lmfao, plenty of standard door options for even home owners. If you’re cutting a door to size, you’ve done fucked up in almost every case.

And it’s funny you say something like this while being completely off base about story heights… fucking lmfao. Sure we should listen to your “expertise” hahahah, you don’t even know how tall a room is, yet we should trust you know anything about doors? Really? Seriously… dude?

Most ceilings are a foot and a half or more above the door
