Expert Analysis
✕ Does not fit — 31" too large
[why-details]
> Why it doesn't fit
The item exceeds the opening in every orientation — no rotation or tilt resolves this.
Tightest point: Item vs Opening (width axis)
Remaining clearance: 31" (96.9%)

> How to make it work
The item exceeds the space in every orientation — standard entry won't work. Consider these alternatives:
- Disassemble the item if possible
- Check for wider doors or windows
- Consider professional movers with pivot techniques

Safety margin: Comfortable
Operational expectation: Standard handling — no special equipment or technique needed.

However, if the hallway has an L-shaped turn, the 116" length won't clear the corner. With 1" across the corridor, the 90° sweep geometry limits the navigable length to 87.8".

What we used · Low Confidence
Opening: 32"W × 96"H
Item: item — smallest cross-section 1" (estimated)
*Rotation required: reoriented*
Assumptions
- Item is rigid and cannot be compressed, bent, or disassembled
- Space has perfectly square corners and flat surfaces
- No obstructions (light fixtures, handrails, trim, furniture) in the path
- Path from entry to destination is straight with no turns
- Floor is level with no steps or thresholds
All orientations tested (6 orientations)
| | Orientation | Width | Height | Note |
|---|------------|-------|--------|------|
| ✗ | 2946mm across, 25mm vertical | -84" | 95" | too_wide |
| ✗ | 2946mm across, 762mm vertical | -84" | 66" | too_wide |
| ✗ | 25mm across, 2946mm vertical | 31" | -20" | too_tall |
| ✓ | 25mm across, 762mm vertical | 31" | 66" | |
| ✗ | 762mm across, 2946mm vertical | 2" | -20" | too_tall |
| ✓ | 762mm across, 25mm vertical | 2" | 95" | |
Step-by-step proof (best: 25mm across, 762mm vertical)
1. Width: 1" item ≤ 32" opening → ✓ (31" clearance)
2. Height: 30" item ≤ 96" opening → ✓ (66" clearance)
Limiting: hallway_width at 31"
