Will a generic item (60 cm × 50 cm × 236 cm) fit in a doorway (74 cm × 236 cm)?

✓ Fits — 24 cm to spare [why-details] > Why it fits Won't fit in its natural orientation, but fits when laid on its side, longest dimension passing through — 24 cm clearance. Tightest point: Item vs Opening (width axis) Remaining clearance: 24 cm (32.4%) [/why-details] [maneuver-details] > Best way to move it Orient the item so it is laid on its side, longest dimension passing through. Slide straight through the opening, keeping it level. Required entry angle: ~0° Minimum approach space: standard (item length) [/maneuver-details] [difficulty-details] > Effort required Safety margin: Comfortable Operational expectation: Standard handling — no special equipment or technique needed. [/difficulty-details] [details-below] What we used · Medium Confidence Opening: 74 cmW × 236 cmH Item: item — smallest cross-section 50 cm (estimated) *Rotation required: laid on its side, longest dimension passing through* 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 - Door opens fully (90° or more) and stays open during passage - Real-world factors (trim, baseboards, hardware) may reduce available clearance. - Applied 38mm practical clearance for handling All orientations tested (6 orientations) | | Orientation | Width | Height | Note | |---|------------|-------|--------|------| | ✓ ← | 50×60 cm (laid flat) | 24 cm | 176 cm | | | ✓ | 60×50 cm (laid flat) | 14 cm | 186 cm | | | ✗ | 60×236 cm (front/back) | 14 cm | 0 cm | too_tall | | ✗ | 50×236 cm (sideways) | 24 cm | 0 cm | too_tall | | ✗ | 236×60 cm (front/back) | -162 cm | 176 cm | too_wide | | ✗ | 236×50 cm (sideways) | -162 cm | 186 cm | too_wide | Step-by-step proof (best: 50×60 cm) 1. Width: 50 cm item ≤ 74 cm opening → ✓ (24 cm clearance) 2. Height: 60 cm item ≤ 236 cm opening → ✓ (176 cm clearance) Limiting: width at 24 cm *Measure your specific space to confirm — dimensions vary.*
