Sizing a double iron door isn’t just about making sure it fits the opening — it’s about making sure the finished entry looks intentional rather than oversized or cramped. Double iron door sizes vary quite a bit across our current lineup, and getting the proportion right is what separates a well-designed entry from one that just technically fits.
Our double iron door collection includes designs like the Andollius, sized at 62 inches by 81 inches, among a broader range of width and height combinations across our lineup. You can review current sizes and styles on our Double Iron Doors page.
A double door that’s technically wide enough for the opening can still look off if the height, surrounding trim, and roofline aren’t considered together. A door that’s proportionally too tall for a low-profile entry — or too short for a tall, formal facade — tends to look like an afterthought rather than a deliberate design choice, regardless of how well it fits the rough opening dimensions.
Step back and look at the full entryway: the width of the surrounding wall, any sidelights or transom windows, and the height of the roofline above. A double iron door should feel like it belongs to that composition, not like it was sized purely to fill the hole in the wall.
Measure width at three points — top, middle, and bottom of the opening — since older constructions aren’t always perfectly square. Measure height on both the left and right sides for the same reason. Note any obstructions, like a transom window above or sidelights on either side, since these affect which door sizes will actually work cleanly with the existing frame.
Camarillo has a number of larger-lot properties with entryways built at a scale that suits a double configuration well — wide covered porches, tall ceiling heights at the entry, and facades designed with a formal front door as a focal point. In those settings, a double iron door tends to complete the design rather than compete with it.
It depends on the specific design, but double configurations generally need meaningfully more width than a single door to avoid feeling cramped.
Standard sizes cover many openings, and custom options are available through our Custom Iron Doors page for openings that fall outside standard dimensions.
Configuration varies by design — some doors have two fully independent active panels, while others use one primary active panel with a secondary panel for wider access.
Sharing photos and measurements of your current entryway is the most reliable way to evaluate proportion before choosing a size.
