Door fitting dilemma - need advice

We are looking at getting a new inner door for between our kitchen and living room, however today we measured it and it’s 1955mm in height , which seems to be a bit shorter than all the doors we have found and liked online. They all seem to be 1981 and above.
Is there any way around this? We can’t afford a made to measure door as we only have a certain budget.

Any suggestions would be welcome!

That's only 3cm-ish too big which the fitter can easily plane off.

Most doors have a bit to trim off too and bottom
does the 1981mm include that

As per previous posts. This is the correct size, you trim it to fit. You'll need to take a bit off the sides too as your door frames will have moved as the house moves.

Your chippy will know how to do this when he / she hangs the door.

They'll just trim it.

"Constructed with a solid core and white primed, this door allows trimming of Up to 12mm from any edge."
