Build Opening

Know the size. We’ll handle the door details.

Choose what you need, the size, swing, wall, and hardware. We automatically match the exact standard prep and compatible catalog products.

Packets

Start from a template (optional)

Pick a common opening and we fill in the typical answers. It lands as a draft you can change — nothing goes to your cart until you add the packet.

Packet 1

What size?

Pick the nominal door size. We show only sizes backed by real catalog doors.

Help me measure and read door sizes

A code like 3070 means 3'0" wide by 7'0" high. For an existing opening, measure the door leaf—not the rough hole—unless you’re replacing the frame too.
