Door widths

We have an internal door which is 750mm but B&Q only seem to do 760mm. I can't imagine trimming 10mm off the edge so is my door frame non-standard or am I missing something else?

doors can vary dramatically from one house to the next.
10mm is nothing, just cut 4mm off each side with a circular saw and fence, then plane it the last mil.

Its actually 762. Is 750 the width of your current door or the width of the opening as you might need less off if the new door can fit tighter.

honey monster has given you the essentials
your door lining was almost certainly have been made to take a standard size door (before it was installed) but for many reasons including bad installation of the lining or the door the door has arrived at 750mm wide
however be careful before you just start cutting a new door to the same size as the existing, if the existing door fits badly, so will the new one
if in doubt get a carpenter in
