Doors are usually trimmed to fit the doorway, in height and width, so get the closest oversized ones and trim 'em down. The 4mm between 1981mm and 1977mm won't be an issue at all, but for the bigger difference you'll need to take half the amount off each end. New doors should have info on how much can be safely trimmed off each edge.

Thanks for that - yes, the door that is 1894mm is going to need 87mm trimmed off a standard door in order to fit, or 43.5mm off the top and the bottom.
If you look at Wickes (one example but they all seem similar), 'The door may be trimmed by up to 3mm in height and 3mm in width. Any reductions must be removed equally from each edge.'. That's not clear to me as to whether you can remove 1.5mm from top/bottom or up to 3mm from each = 6mm - way less than I need.
While the doors I actually want can be 'trimmed by up to 32mm' - even if you double that (i.e. remove 32mm from top and bottom) it's still less than I need...

Need to get around to ordering some internal doors soon and have come up against an issue in that the standard size is 1981mm, but the current doors are not all near that (1894-1977).
Anyone overcome this issue?
