What Door Size Do I Need?
How to Measure - Current Door Installed
If you currently have a door installed and are looking to replace it with a new PINKYS door, you will first need to obtain both the width and height measurements, as described below.
Width: Measure from the inside of the left door jamb to the inside of the right door jamb, omitting the projected door stops on both sides. Add 2" to this number to get the width of your new PINKYS door.
EX: 70" (width measurement) + 2" = 72" PINKYS door width
Height: Measure from the floor to the bottom of the top of the frame, omitting the projected door stop on the frame itself. Add 1" to this number to get the height of your new PINKYS door.
EX: 83" (height measurement) + 1" = 84" PINKYS door height
How to Measure - Visible Studs / Rough Opening
If you are working with a new construction, or have your wall opened up to the studs, then you will be able to measure for the rough opening itself. Rough opening measurements can be obtained as described below.
Width: Measure from the inside of the left stud to the inside of the right stud. Subtract 1" from this number to get the width of your new PINKYS door.
EX: 73" (width measurement) - 1" = 72" PINKYS door width
Height: Measure from the floor to the bottom of the header stud. Subtract 1" from this number to get the height of your new PINKYS door.
EX: 85" (height measurement) - 1" = 84" PINKYS door height
You could also input these rough opening measurements into our What Size is Right for Me? calculator located in PINKYS Information Center
What does Net Size Mean?
When ordering a new PINKYS door, it important to note that all of our doors are pre-hung, meaning they include the door slab(s), frame, and hinges required for the door to operate.
The sizing displayed includes the dimensions of this pre-hung frame, which is known as the overall unit's net size.
What is Door Slab Size?
Door slab size refers to the measurement of each individual door slab, excluding the door's frame and reveals. Single doors will have one door slab, while double doors will have two door slabs.
How do I Measure my Door Slab Size?
To approximate the dimensions of the interior door slabs themselves (less the door frame and reveals), please refer to the below chart.
What is Jamb Size?
Jamb size refers to the depth of the door's jamb and frame, which correlates directly with the depth of the wall in which your door will be installed.
All of our standard interior doors are built with 1.5" jambs, made from Ottostumm solid steel, with mounting holes around the sides and tops for a bolt through installation application.
If your wall is thicker than 1.5", you can choose to install your door with either an interior or exterior wall reveal.
All interior doors will come standard with a removable flatbar threshold.

If you have your rough opening dimensions, you could also utilize our What Size is Right for Me? calculator located in PINKYS Information Center.
Is the displayed size the size of the doors themselves, or is the frame included in the sizing?
When ordering a new PINKYS door, it important to note that all of our doors are pre-hung, and the sizing displayed includes the dimensions of the units frame. This is known as the overall unit's net size.
How big is the actual door if this is the measurement of the frame?
To calculate your actual door slabs size, please refer to our "Interior Swing Door Slab Size Calculator" located in the "Size" section of this information pop-up.
Do you provide installation guides for your doors?
Yes! We have video guides explaining each and every step of the process, as well as a full installation guide. The videos and link will be provided to you with your door via easy to scan QR codes on our packaging, as well as through email correspondence post purchase.
Can I just replace the door slab without changing the frame?
All of our doors are pre-hung, meaning they include both the door slab(s) as well as the corresponding frame. This included frame needs to be paired with its doors, as each unit is individually made by hand to fit with its specific frame, so your current door frame must be replaced during installation.
