Will it fit through the door?
Check your sofa, fridge, mattress, table or any large item before you start moving it. Enter the measurements and see the best orientation to try.

We will test the main orientations and angles through the doorway.
- Measure the widest, tallest and longest parts of the item.
- Measure the clear opening of the doorway, not the door itself.
- Add the hallway width if space to turn is limited.
How Fit Through Door works
A large object can often pass through a doorway even when one measurement looks too big at first. The calculator tests the different faces of your item and, when rotation is enabled, checks angles from 0° to 90° to find a position that fits inside the clear doorway opening.
Measure between the narrowest points of the frame with the door fully open. Hinges, handles and stops can reduce the usable width.
Sofa feet, fridge handles, shelves and doors can make the difference between an easy fit and a failed move.
A mathematical fit with only a few millimetres spare is not the same as an easy real world fit. Aim for a little extra space.
Common questions
Can a sofa fit through a door narrower than the sofa?
Often, yes. If the sofa can be turned onto a different face or rotated through the opening, its effective width can be smaller than its normal standing width.
Does this work for fridges and wardrobes?
Yes, for box shaped items. Use the maximum outside dimensions, including handles or trim unless those parts will be removed before moving.
Why does hallway width matter?
An object may fit through the doorway itself but still need enough room on one or both sides to rotate into position. The hallway check is deliberately conservative because every corner layout is different.
Should I use exact measurements?
Yes. Measure in centimetres and round up rather than down. If the result is very close, treat it as uncertain and allow extra clearance.
