UK Single Door Families (Jeld-Wen)

[Damo]

Here is my collection of UK single flush doors, if anyone is interested.

They are based on Jeld-Wen (John Carr) 2004 catalogue.

The following doors are in the file (based on the standard Revit UK_Single-Flush template). The sizes refer to the door leaf size:
610 x 1981
686 x 1981
762 x 1981
838 x 1981
926 x 1981 Disabled access

Each door size also comes as standard doors (35mm door leaf), Fire Door 30 minutes (44mm door leaf) and Fire Door 60 minutes (54mm door leaf + larger frame size)

The overall structural width has been taken from their 2004 catalogue (with some telephone support, so please check with Jeld-Wen on overall structural sizes, as I’ve had 2 different replies to 5 telephone conversations)

I was hoping to add another text parameter to the doors that would state the ‘clear’ opening width (between door stop and the door leaf at 90 degrees), but I haven’t been able to work this out yet.

If you have any corrections I’d appreciate it if you could let me know.

Thanks for sharing these Damo

Damian,

Can this not be achieved as:

Clear opening = Opening -(2* structural tolerance)-(2*tolerance)-(2* frame width) -stop width - panel thickness

or something very similar?

Thank's Damo.

Probably (if I knew how to, still going through various tutorials whilst trying to get some work done) :) I'll come back to this when I have some time.

I think that this does what you are looking for.

I have set up a calculated family parameter called Clear opening width and this is a shared parameter so that it can be both scheduled and tagged. I haven't tested it but you may find you need to open the file, open the family dialog, and edit the parameter to recreate the shared parameter on your local machine.

I have assumed a stop depth of 12 mm but this is defined in the family dialog too, though not as a shared parameter and I haven't altered to model to make the stops controlled by this parameter as I didn't want to unpick any constraints and have to reestablish them.

Thanks for the UK content Damo. On opening widths I have Jeld wen Tech Spec document No BC_T_0001 Issue F 23/03/04 I think from their web site which gives structural opening as door width +60mm and Door set unit width as Door width +54mm
