Will My Furniture Fit Through the Door?
Free toolBefore you carry the sofa or wardrobe up the stairs, check with a few quick measurements whether it will actually pass through the door or access opening.
Result
This is a simplified geometric estimate (width, depth, height and diagonal). It does not replace measuring in person, especially with door handles, protruding frames or tight corners near the door.
How to use it
- Enter the width, height and depth of the piece of furniture.
- Enter the width and height of the door opening and, if there is one, the hallway width.
- Read whether it goes through straight, diagonally or does not fit with those measurements.
What it works out and how
It first rules the piece out if it is taller than the door opening, since it does not consider laying it down. It then checks whether its narrowest side, width or depth, goes straight through the door width with 2 cm of clearance. If not, it tries the diagonal of the footprint against the door width, and only accepts it if you entered a hallway at least as wide as the depth of the piece. It is a simplified geometric estimate: it ignores frames, handles, radiators and stairs.
Frequently asked questions
How do I measure the real door opening?
From frame to frame at the narrowest point, with the door fully open. If needed, lifting the door off its hinges gives a couple more centimetres.
What if it does not fit?
Remove legs, arms or the back if the model allows. Many sofas are designed to go in dismantled.
Does it work for stairs?
No. Turns on landings depend on ceiling height and angle, and have to be measured separately.
