We plan to install the interior doors ourselves, as we think this will be more cost-effective.
We are having some difficulties with the measurements and hope you can help us. According to our floor plan, the door sizes are both 88x201 and 76x201. However, I can’t find these dimensions in the configurators on the various suppliers’ websites. Which ones should we choose? The wall thickness for all doors is 11.5cm (4.5 inches), but for two doors it is 17.5cm (7 inches).
We need complete systems, meaning door with frame/jamb.
Is there any trick or method to calculate this correctly?

Best regards, Bauexperte Yes, I've already thought about that. I just want to roughly estimate the costs for the doors now. A configurator like that is useful, as long as you know what to enter 😀
Hello sauerpeter,
Be sure to measure the rough opening on site yourself! (if the house is already built, otherwise later), only then order the doors.
When using the configurator, select the next smaller size. The frames have a certain installation tolerance, both in door width and height as well as in wall thickness. This is sufficient for an initial overview regarding the costs.

Hello,
these are the common standard sizes for 86 cm (34 inches) and 73.5 cm (29 inches) door leaves. Try searching for "Standard door sizes - Bauwiki" where you can find a table with the standard measurements.
For a rough cost estimate, it is sufficient to assume a width of 86 cm (34 inches) and a frame depth of 11.5 cm (4.5 inches) for all doors. The price differences between the various standard sizes are only a few dollars and do not make a significant difference.
Best regards,
Andreas

Door leaf outer dimensions and structural opening dimensions (finished floor to lintel) are standardized.
In your case:
Structural opening 88.5 x 200.5 cm (35 x 79 inches) -> Door leaf outer dimension 86 x 198.5 cm (34 x 78 inches)
Structural opening 76 x 200.5 cm (30 x 79 inches) -> Door leaf outer dimension 73.5 x 198.5 cm (29 x 78 inches)
11.5 cm (4.5 inches) wall + double plaster -> 140 mm (5.5 inches) frame
17.5 cm (6.9 inches) wall + double plaster -> 200 mm (7.9 inches) frame
In your case:
Structural opening 88.5 x 200.5 cm (35 x 79 inches) -> Door leaf outer dimension 86 x 198.5 cm (34 x 78 inches)
Structural opening 76 x 200.5 cm (30 x 79 inches) -> Door leaf outer dimension 73.5 x 198.5 cm (29 x 78 inches)
11.5 cm (4.5 inches) wall + double plaster -> 140 mm (5.5 inches) frame
