Is there a calculation for getting objects through a door?

Question

If I know the dimensions of my door and the dimensions (Height, Width, Depth) of my sofa how do I calculate if it will fit through?

Answer 1

Measure the couch. If the dimensions are less than that of the doorway, it will fit.

Answer 2

If SZ <= DZ then goodnuff
else halt
endif

All jokes aside. As long as the length of the sofa as measured from the back to the front isn't wider than the door opening, you're good to go to the next measure. That being the length of the sofa versus the distance between the door and your first obstacle (be it a wall or whatever).

We brought in a sofa but had to use the curve (part you sit in) and hold the couch in such a way that this curve was toward the door frame. This gave us the room we needed to get part way through the door before turning toward the wall due to obstacles. It was a tight fit but we got it in.

Hope I didn't muddle up my thoughts-to-keyboard. And good luck.

Answer 3

It depends on how close the walls are to the door as well, but assuming you have infinite space in every direction around the door, if any two of the three dimensions you list are smaller than the width and height of the door, then it will fit.

Answer 4

a)
if Width and heights are larger than the door,
try to do some math :
calculate the hypothenuse : h*h + w*w = hy*hy
h² = hy * p, w² = hy * q
h² = p * q
sin alpha = a / c
h is the data you need
(make a sketch, it helps)
b) if you have an obstacle on the oher side of the door : size of the obstacle is "k"
dist to door is "m"
length of sofa minus m is "n"
k/m=o/n
o is the free space needed
c) allow some margin : sofas are not perfect solids.

good luck

Answer 5

If the sofa is larger than the door, it won't fit. Length does not really matter. The width and height are what really matters.

Answer 6

well, you see the 2 smallest dimensions of your sofa(say a and b), and see if they are smaller or equal to your door's lenght and width(l and w). If it is, it'll go through.
Both a & b need not be smaller than both land w. a

Answer 7

You can't put objects through a door unless you cut a hole in the door. Better to open the door and put objects through the doorway, works much easier.

Answer 8

yes, if the door is open. it take less effort to go threw it but if by any chance the door is not open. F(p)x M(weight)=FM. if you are petite and the mass of the object to go threw the door, the formula would be. F(p)(square)x (your weight) - M(the weight of the object)= F(force needed) x M(mass needed to shoveled it threw the door). If it is too heavy, you forget it. but the best it is when the door is open and you know the weight of the object which do not overweight yourself by the mass of 8 times your weight.

Answer 9

Cross your fingers and hope for the best and when that doesn't work take a window out as have always had to do. I have the smallest doors in the world with loads of obstructions immediately inude them to make it even harder!!! Have fun :-)
