Mobile Home Doors

Oftentimes, Manufactured homes will have a front door that is similar to a standard site-built house door. These doors swing to the inside of the home. Unfortunately, there are many different-sized doors that have been used on different models of homes over the years. These inswing doors are usually 32” wide, although some are 30”, 34”, or 36” wide as well. The heights are generally measured in 2” increments from 72” to 74”, 76”, 78”, and 80” These doors are prehung, and the rough opening size needs to be close to 2” wider, and 2” taller than the callout size to leave room for the wood frame.

We stock both oak skin (not actual oak) and white. These doors can be drilled for a handle at either 36” or 40” from the bottom. Many manufactured homes are drilled at 40”, because if the handle hole is in the center of the door, it can be flipped any which way, and still line up! Those guys at the factories are geniuses. These doors are slab only, they do not come prehung. Why? Because generally the frames for these doors are built in the factory using 2X material, paneling, and doorstop trim. Also, the frame depth is inconsistent in mobile homes, some have 2×4 walls, some 2×3, some even smaller.
