Buying Helps
Below are a number of explanations to help in determining what options you will choose from the drop down menus.
Net Frame Size
Use the information below when choosing a Frame Width and a Frame Height. We sell doors by frame size; the actual door size will be less than the frame size.
Available Widths and Heights
For pre-built doors, you may choose from the following frame widths and heights:
FRAME WIDTH | FRAME HEIGHT | PIVOT POSITION |
31 1/2″ | 81 3/4″ | 3″ |
37 1/2″ | 81 3/4″ | 3″ |
43 1/2″ | 81 3/4″ | 4″ |
49 1/2″ | 81 3/4″ | 6″ |
31 1/2″ | 97 3/4″ | 3″ |
37 1/2″ | 97 3/4″ | 3″ |
43 1/2″ | 97 3/4″ | 4″ |
49 1/2″ | 97 3/4″ | 6″ |
Measurements to Know
When sizing the door you will need to consider two principle measurements, rough opening and frame size. See the image below for reference.
Rough Opening
The rough opening is the distance from stud to stud for framing purposes. We advise that you build a rough opening that is ½ in. wider and 1/2 in. taller than the total door unit. We find that this allows for sufficient shimming and adjustments during installation.
Frame Width
The Frame Width is the actual width of the door jamb. When determining the frame width you want to put in a number that is at least a half inch less than the rough opening size to allow room to square and level the door. For example, for a rough opening 50 inches wide, order a frame width of 49 1/2 inches.
Frame Height
The Frame Height is the actual height of the door jamb. When determining the frame height you want to put in a number that is at least a half inch less than the rough opening size to allow room to square and level the door. For example, for a rough opening 97 1/2 inches tall, order a frame height of 97 inches.
Wood Type
Choosing a Wood Species…
For pre-built Flat doors we offer four wood veneers: Mahogany (Sapele), Walnut, Paint Grade, White Oak. If you would like a greater range of wood types to choose from, you will need to order a customized exterior door.
As you decide which wood you’ll choose, the most important factor is how the wood species goes with the overall design of the door and your project. If you have specific questions about what wood to choose that are not answered here, feel free to reach out to us.
Jamb Depth
For pre-built interior pivot doors, we offer three jamb depths: 4 5/8 in., 5 1/2 in., 6 5/8 in. Jamb depth depends on the thickness of the walls into which the door unit will be placed. Most interior walls are studded out with 2×4’s. Usually the jamb is flush with the interior wall covering, with the seam covered by casing.
Available Jamb Depths*
- 4 5/8 in.
- 5 1/2 in.
- 6 5/8 in.
*You will need to contact us about a custom door quote if you want a different jamb depth from what is available above.
Deadbolt and Handle-set Prep
Standard Handle Prep
Single-bore Deadbolt
NOTE: All jamb strikes are prepped on-site to ensure proper alignment after installation and any necessary adjustments.
Swing Configuration
Swing configuration defines the direction of the door motion and from which side the pivot is placed. You can choose either a Right-hand Swing or a Left-hand Swing. The layout of your installation site will determine the swing configuration. To determine if the door is left-hand or right-hand swing, imagine you are looking at the door from the outside. If the pivot point is on the left side, it is a left-hand swing. If the pivot point is on the right-hand side, the door is a right-hand swing.
Use the diagram below to help identify which configuration will serve your project best.
Free-swing Pivot Hinge
Our standard pivot hardware is a durable, specially engineered free-swing pivot hinge. This pivot hardware works for a wide range of doors, from small to very large. No matter the door size, the free-swing pivot hinge allows for effortless door operation. The hardware incorporates sets of ball-bearings for smooth, long-lasting performance. The door swings freely around the pivot point. There are no springs or tension pulling the door closed.
Pivot Placement
The pivot placement is the distance the pivot pin will be placed away from the vertical edge of the rough opening. Pre-built doors have set pivot placements.
Fixed Pivot Placements

31 1/2″ | 81 3/4″ | 3″ |
37 1/2″ | 81 3/4″ | 3″ |

49 1/2″ | 81 3/4″ | 6″ |
31 1/2″ | 97 3/4″ | 3″ |
