Hello ramy, it looks like you are using a dynamic block not of your own.
The doors are set at the various width indicated from 24 inches ( 609.6 mm ) to 40 inches ( 1016 mm ).
If you want an other width you will have to do an other block or an assembly of lines.
You can also modify the original dynamic block but it's not easy to do for a beginner.
A not so difficult way would be to open the file : Door - imperial and learn about dynamic blocks.
If you don't have it, create a file with the same name, insert the block inside it with its insertion point at the coordonate 0,0 and explode it one time do modify it and insert it a new in your file : draw1.dwg.
Maybe all this is not a good idea because standards doors of that type should be between 24 and 40 inches ( to be verified ).

OK, later I have seen this : http://www.1doors.co.uk/size-conversion-guide.php and standard doors sizes can be less than 24 inches.
