What size opening should be made in the frame for a door that is M10 * M21?
 
1000x2100
 
Better with 1010x2110 mm
So that you have space for the karmskuven as well.
 
Ok, thanks. So no extra space for trial like around windows then.
 
Now another response made it in...

Is it an exterior door or an interior door you are going to install? If it's an exterior door, you should make the opening exactly as danbanan2 wrote 1010*2110, as the outer frame dimensions of exterior doors are larger than interior doors. If you make the opening 1000, it will be difficult to fit both the insulation strip and the frame sleeve since you will only have 5-7 mm around the door in that case. It should be 10-12 mm for it to be convenient.
 
What is the frame screw you're talking about, that sits between the frame and the stud?
Eh, forget it, I found 'karmhylsa'. Seems complicated.

Ah, forget it, I found 'frame sleeve'. Seems tricky.
Frame sleeve is much more convenient than frame screw, so you're absolutely right to use it.

Now I have already installed all the windows and doors with frame screws, but if I had discovered the frame sleeves in time, I would definitely have used that system.

Otherwise, you got the right measurements for the opening in the first post. Well, theoretically speaking.
The Swedish module system is based on talking about the opening measurement, then the manufacturer reduces the frame by an appropriate amount.

But in practice, when you are actually at the construction site, theories don't always suffice.
The door opening, for instance, might not be perfectly plumb.
And in any case, there's almost nothing worse than trying to insulate a gap that is too narrow, so if I don't have the frame to measure against beforehand, I would always make the opening 1005-1010mm x 2105-2110 mm.
That is, 5-10 mm above the module measurement.
