    Hi, I'm about to start putting a stud wall up in what was an archway to accomodate a set of double doors.
    The doors I have are 1981mm(h) 1524mm(w) 35mm(D).
    I have a 10mm Pairmaker.
    The door lining is 30mm.
    So just want to check how big I should make the gap in the stud wall.
    I'm told that 3mm clearance on each edge is what I need so..

    Width:
    1524 Both doors plus
    10 Pairmaker plus
    60 Door lining plus
    9mm Clearance on both sides and between the two doors.
    1603mm total width.

    Height:
    1981 Door height plus
    30 Door Lining
    6 Clearance
    Plus floor covering yet to be decided.

    Are my calculations correct or do I need to add an extra 3mm on the width (2x3mm on the meeting edges or the doors)?
    Or am I way off ;)
