Standard door heights vary slightly by region, but here are the typical measurements:
- In the United States, the standard door height for most residential interior and exterior doors is 80 inches, or 6 feet 8 inches
. This size is very common and is often referred to as a "6/8 door."
- Some doors, especially exterior or custom doors, can be taller, commonly 7 feet (84 inches) or even up to 8 feet (96 inches)
- Older homes or certain areas like basements may have shorter doors, sometimes around 6 feet 5 inches (77 inches) or less
- In the UK, standard door heights are generally a bit shorter: about 78 inches (6 feet 6 inches) in England and Wales, and around 80 inches (6 feet 8 inches) in Scotland
Thus, the most common standard door height in the US is 80 inches (6 feet 8 inches), with variations depending on architectural style, location, and customization needs.
