Hi all,
I am looking to build a stud wall into an archway to take a set of double doors. Just want to check what size I should make the space in the studwork to take the doors please.

The doors I have are glazed, 1981mm(h) 1524mm(w) (both doors) 35mm(D).
I have a 10mm Pairmaker to go between the two doors.
The door lining I have is 30mm.
So just want to check how big I should make the gap in the stud wall.
I'm believe that 3mm clearance on each edge is what I need so..

Width:
1524mm Both doors plus
10mm Pairmaker plus
60mm Door lining plus
9mm Clearance on both sides and between the two doors.
1603mm total width.

Height:
1981mm Door height plus
30mm Door Lining plus
6mm Clearance plus
12mm Laminate flooring Plus
3mm underlay.

Are these dimentions OK or do I need to allow more "wiggle room" if so how much?
I have a set of wedges to allow me to "true up" the lining so do I need to allow for these as well?
Any advice/guidance greatly appreciated.
