Measurement Charts for Murphy Door Setup
Your Murphy Door arrives fully assembled and pre-hung in the jamb, much like a regular interior door. In order to determine what size you will need, you'll need to measure your existing doorway. This can be done with an existing door (finished opening) or a rough opening (where you can see the 2x4's).
For reference, standard interior door widths range from 24"-36" (finished opening). While a standard door height is 80" (finished opening). The difference between a rough opening and finished opening is usually 2-3 inches.
Refer to the charts below to determine what size of door you will need. If you have questions, give us a call at 888-458-5911. You can also check out our video on how to measure here.

Pass-through space charts
It's important to keep in mind that the average door width of a Murphy Door takes up more room than a regular door. The width of your doorway and the depth of your door will determine how much space you have to move in and out of the door.
Be sure to check the charts below to make sure you will have the pass through space you need.
