It is ideal if you want to customise the finish to match your décor. The 1981 x 762mm size is a standard internal door dimension, so check your opening measurements before ordering.

What you need to know before buying
Measure your door opening carefully in height and width to confirm this 1981 x 762mm door will fit. Remember that the door itself is 35mm thick, so check that your frame and surrounding walls can accommodate this. The door arrives unfinished, so you will need to sand, prime, and paint or lacquer it before hanging—allow time and budget for this finishing work. You will also need to source and fit hinges, a handle, and latch furniture separately; these are not included.
- Confirm your opening is 1981 x 762mm or larger
- Door is unfinished—finishing materials and labour not included
- Hinges, handle, and latch hardware must be purchased separately
- Allow time for sanding and finishing before installation
Preparing and finishing the door
On arrival, inspect the door for any damage. Before hanging, the unfinished pine must be prepared. Sand the surfaces lightly with fine-grit sandpaper to smooth the timber and help paint or lacquer adhere evenly. Fill any small knots or grain imperfections with wood filler if desired. Apply a primer suitable for softwood, then paint with your chosen colour, or apply clear lacquer in two or three coats to reveal the natural grain. Ensure the door is fully dry and cured before hanging and use.
- Inspect on delivery for damage
- Sand lightly with fine-grit paper before finishing
- Use wood filler for knots or grain if required
- Prime with softwood primer before painting or lacquering
- Allow adequate drying time between coats
Hanging and compatibility
This door is designed for standard internal door frames and can be hung to open left or right. You will need to fit three hinges (typically 75mm or 100mm butt hinges for a door of this size and weight), a handle set, and a latch mechanism—all sold separately. Ensure your frame is square and plumb before hanging. The 35mm thickness is compatible with standard internal door frames, but verify your frame width and depth before ordering. If you are replacing an existing door, check that the new opening dimensions match this door's size.
