Doors finding the right size

Hello, currently replacing our internal doors and the one to the attic is a non standard size, we are using cheap b&q ones everywhere but because of the sizes cutting it down would not work at all.

The door measures 207cm by 73cm (a cm or so less but we've given room for hinges and to cut ourselves to make it fit snug.

Does anyone have any idea what or where to go?

    2040 * 726 is a standard metric size. Plant 35mm (5mm extra for trimming to fit) timber to the bottom to make up the height. Use thicker door stop to reduce the width of the frame opening if necessary.

    You should be able to find somewhere local that stocks this size.

    Direct Debacle is right - you would be better off with a metric door. I would even suggest that you add a 30mm packing piece to the top of the frame so that the frame height is actually reduced slightly, and then the door will fit neatly.
