Well, we bought the farm in Oct. Got all moved in and now the wife wants a door fron the kitchen to the garage. Doesn't like walking around to the other door when it's raining. So if I put in a standard 3-0 door how big should the rough opening be. I am thinking a inch total. I will have to move some 110 and 220 outlets plus a water spiket before I open up the walls for the door. First owner made that a busy spot. Thanks for your thoughts.

The rough opening for a 3-0 door should be 38.5" x 82.5".

Don't forget the shims and caulk for the threshold!

It depends on the manufacturer of the door. Some manufacturers measure the core (door) at 36", while some measure the frame at 36". It is best to measure the door you are gonna use.

Don't ask how I know this BUT get the door home and then cut your rough opening. Measure twice, cut once. Craig. Your tape measure engineer.

As Old said, check on the door you are buying - most are 1/2" either side and 1" at top. Be sure to use shims and to get a fire rated door. Also - avoid spray foam insulation. Even the "non-expanding" will expand. Good old batt insulation is the best bet.

Rough opening should be 2 in. wider and if it has a threshhold 21/2 in. higher.If it opens from living quarters into. garage make sure to add wheather-stripping to keep out car exhaust.Also in this area doors opening into garage from the house must be self closing either with spring loaded hinges or a closer.

Don"t know about everywhere, but here it would have to be a fire resistant door. Sensible precaution wherever flam liquids are kept.

Buy what is called a prehung door and it will or should tell you how big the hole has to be for the door. Or if your going with a door you have and are makeing the frame your self go and take a look at doors the smae size as your door at a lumber yard and write down the info form one of them.
