Step 1 of 3
Door Project Wizard

Configure Your Door

Choose the project type, preview the door setup, and confirm the calculated unit, rough opening, brickmold, and masonry sizes.

Project Size

Is this project for one door or multiple doors?

Choose one door for a single replacement. Choose multiple doors when the project includes several interior or exterior doors.

Planning an interior-door project? Nick's typical interior project often includes 12–23 doors. Choose whether this is one interior door or multiple doors. For multiple doors, you can upload an existing Door List or build your Door List here.

Calculated Dimensions

Your Calculated Sizes

Unit Size

Overall outside dimension of the prehung door unit.

Rough Opening

Framed opening size with room for shimming and adjustment.

Masonry Opening

Important when brick, stone, stucco, siding, or trim surrounds the door.

Email Measurements

Calculator results are based on Nick's standard prehung door sizing rules. Custom units, special jambs, installation conditions, or field conditions may vary. Always confirm final sizing before ordering.

Use this box for anything that does not match the standard choices. Examples include cut-down height, an unusual opening, an unlisted jamb size, or an out-of-square condition.
Door Details

Add door details

Complete what you know. Nick's can help with anything you're unsure about.

Door Details

Enter a Nick's model name, general style, or leave blank when you are not sure.
An estimate is fine. Many Nick's interior projects include 12–23 doors.
Choose the jamb depth that matches the finished wall thickness. Select Custom or I'm Not Sure when needed.
Same as Door Species
For exterior doors, Nick's matches the jamb wood species to the door species.
Black is the default selection. Choose another finish when needed.

Door Swing Direction

Use Nick\'s standard A–D handing diagrams below. Select LH, RH, LHMA, or RHMA. Choose “I\'m Not Sure” when you need help confirming the handing.
