When it comes to removing a door hinge pin, there are 2 ways to go about it. The right way and the wrong way. The wrong way involves using an old nail or screwdriver with a hammer.

Your Murphy Door arrives fully assembled and pre-hung in the jamb, much like a regular interior door. In order to determine what size you will need, you'll need to measure your existing doorway. This can be done with an existing door (finished opening) or a rough opening (where you can see the 2x4's). For reference, standard interior door widths range from 24"-36" (finished opening). While a standard door height is 80" (finished opening). The difference between a rough opening and finished opening is usually 2-3 inches. Refer to the charts below to determine what size of door you will need. If you have questions, give us a call at 888-458-5911. You can also check out our video on how to measure here.
