What’s the size of a standard door in the UK?

As you may have noticed if you’ve ever shopped for doors, some door sizes are more common than others. We’ll let Door Superstore explain what a standard door in the UK really looks like:

“The standard door height for an internal door in England and Wales is 1981mm, while the standard door width is 762mm. This is also known as a 2’ by 6’ door. In Scotland, most internal doors are a bit higher at 2040mm and a bit narrower at 726mm. But wait – that’s just the beginning! As a matter of fact, there are plenty of other standard door size options readily available on the market.”

If you measure up to find your door is not this standard size, don’t panic. While stocked at specific lengths – which is generally 2032mm across our range of pinch protector guards – Fingersafe products can easily be cut to the required size, making them a great option for standard and non-standard doors.

Can protectors be fitted on any door?

Almost any door! Our products are compatible with 99% of today’s doors, including bi-fold doors and flush fit doors. They aren’t suitable for sliding doors however. Most of our door hinge protectors are also accessible in a variety of colours to ensure a seamless addition that guards, shields, and prevents serious injury every time.

Why else should you choose Fingersafe?

Along with easy fitting, there are many more reasons to add Fingersafe to your domestic, commercial or industrial doors. These high quality designs are built to last, and use uPVC to deliver high impact resistance, robustness and reliability. They’re also easy to maintain; just take a look at our door guard maintenance tips.

Our protectors are already relied on by countless organisations and customers, with the hinge gap they so carefully guard keeping wandering hands and fingers out of harm’s way. Our door finger protection products really work and prevent thousands of injuries every year, many of which would have had lifelong impacts.
