about to go to site with Mojo Homes building a NOVA 32.
They put a 2340 x 820mm front door (was 2040 x 820) but raised door height because ceilings went to 2700mm
Now at selections they didnt tell me i could go wider but the NOVA 32 sample house in kellyville has a 920mm wide door so I assumed would be same.
Anyone think 820mm is too narrow?

The grander the entrance to your home the more welcoming and grander it will feel. Design dependant of course. Plus getting furniture into 820 can be a pain in the ***. 1200 look great on the right facade. Re: Front Door Size 4Nov 13, 2019 7:33 am  Scott mAnyone think 820mm is too narrow? Will suggest 1200mm at least for the front door based on my experience.

Managed to change to 920 which I'm happy with sample house has that size I think it's the widest can go with that floor plan Re: Front Door Size 7Nov 14, 2019 11:09 am HillsbuildsI think go wider if you can. Get the widest door you can. We opted for a 1200 pivot door to make a real statement. They go up to 1500, but it would cut into our louvre window at the side. If you have a nice high ceiling, go for extra width for balance.  https://thomasarcherbuild.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html - Thomas Archer Homes - Custom Nouveau 41 22 Apr 2020 24 NSW Junior Member Re: Front Door Size 8Apr 22, 2020 11:58 pm Scott m dgaNot sure if you can go wider based on the floorplan, but if you can I would. 1200mm is a perfect size for a front door.

I checked with Hume couldn't find any. My hallway is 1200 but with 2700 ceiling. Not sure which door size to put. 820 is too skinny. 09 Apr 2019 86 Loyal Member Re: Front Door Size 10Apr 23, 2020 2:23 pm You could also consider a double door - 2 x 820. Not that expensive and when you need to move stuff in open both doors and you have tons of room. We've done it last 2 houses and wouldnt go back to single door. Assuming of course it fits. 24 Mar 2020 111 NSW Senior Member Re: Front Door Size 11Apr 23, 2020 3:07 pm Funnily enough 820 doors are pretty standard and its only been the last 8-10 years that the 1200 door has become popular The pivot doors dont actually give you the full width of the door, you lose some width because of the mechanism, it all depends on the façade, the width of your home generally and if it can fit. Finally it depends on the door manufacturer, some doors do not come 2340 x 920 Bigger the better for storage for me IMO. But I guess it's harder to tell the cost/benefit in your example - mainly the 'cost'? If you go 700mm, what are you doing extra… 2 9977  Building Standards; Getting It Right!
