Tim,
When framing a wall with a door(s), what is the rough opening dimention for the door? Is it different for each manufacturer (if so, how do I find out what it is)? or is there a standard? Thanks for your time.

B,
I always roughed in my doors two and 1/4 inches wider than the actual door slab width and two and one-half inches more than the door slab height for interior doors. For exterior doors I always made the height three inches more than the slab height.
So, say you are roughing in for an interior door to a bedroom - I always put in 2' 8" doors that were 6' 8" high. So the rough opening would be: 34 and 1/4 inches wide by 82.5 inches high.
