I have to replace my old doors with new fire doors that have to have clear openings to be disability compliant.Looking at standard fire door sizes it doesnt seem to be making sense to me.

So I need certain doors with a clear opening of 750 mm and others with 825 mm

If you include the thickness of the door (45mm) as they dont swing fully back you would need door widths of 795 mm and 870mm

The max standard door for 6 foot 6 height is 762 mm which is not wide enough.

Even for a 6 foot 8 door the max width is 864 mm which is still not wide enough for the bigger openings.

Am I looking at this the wrong way?

Any help would be appreciated.
