What is the Rough Opening Size Needed for a Prehung Door?

T.M. CobbFor single doors add 2" to the door width and 2-1/2" to the door height. For instance, a standard 3/0 x 6/8 door would require a 38" x 82-1/2" rough opening. Pairs of doors require twice the door width plus 2" as well as an additional 1/2".

A standard pair of 3/0 x 6/8 doors with an astragal would require a 74-1/2" x 82-1/2" rough opening. An astragal is commonly used to seal between a pair of doors.
