Rough opening requirements vary by door manufacturer. It would be best to check with the lumberyard where you plan to purchase the door, but if you've got to get it framed now, make it 38-1/2" wide, and 6'-11" high. You can always build it in later if necessary.

If you don't have the door but know which one you want, go to the store and the door will normally have the rough opening size on the label.


What is the rough opening for a door?

A "rough opening" is the term for the opening in a wall into which a door or window will be fitted. It is slightly larger than the outside of the frame of the door or window to give some tolerance (space) to install it and get it in the exact position and square. It is measured between the structure to which the door or window will be fixed, such as the studs or masonry. The amount of tolerance between the frame and the structure varies depending on the type of construction and how accurately it is built, but is often in the order of 10mm all around the frame. An air seal and expanding foam are sometimes installed into this gap , and linings or architraves, and claddings cover it.

How do you measure exterior frame door width?

You are supposed to measure the "rough" opening. This is distance from the studs that line the door opening. (not from the door frame itself) Top to bottom then from side to side. If you already have a door there and are just replacing it then you can just measure the door and get one of the same size. Good luck.
