ᐅ Doors and frames from different suppliers?

Hello everyone,
I have another question.
We want to replace the doors in our prefabricated house. However, the wall thickness is only about 6.5cm (2.6 inches), so finding suitable door frames is difficult. I have a contact who installs parquet flooring and also fits doors. Unfortunately, the local manufacturer he works with does not offer door frames that narrow. I did find some options online. Since I would prefer to get the doors themselves through my contact, my question is whether it is possible to simply buy the door frames from a different shop and then source the doors locally? They should be standardized in some way, right? I made sure that the color tone matches (frame: CPL RAL 9016, door according to the catalog: lacquered RAL 9016).
Can these be combined like this, or what else should I consider? If it’s possible, I would order the frames online and have my contact source the doors.
Thanks!

You need the 70mm (2.8 inches) door frame.

You can think of it like a tongue and groove joint that fits into each other.

It’s better to have a 1mm (0.04 inches) gap from the wall on one side than to have the tongue and groove not properly cover each other.

Okay, that's what I expected. I will go with the larger frame then. Thank you.

Of course, please double-check this once again before placing the order.

I just received feedback from the online retailer; they also recommend the 70mm (2.8 inches) door frame.

Have fun! How much does a door with a frame cost?

If you are looking for a good, affordable alternative, I used dextüra in the granny flat. It measures 2100x860 millimeters (83x34 inches), painted, made of hollow-core particleboard, for about 270 euros. It has 4 horizontal grooves and a handle set.
