A:Answer The door is on a nice offset hinge so that when it opens it adds, probably, less than a 1/2 inch to the width. However, the door has a curve to the front surface, and of course, the handle. Keep those facts in mind as I am not sure how much clearance you require. Look at the LG website for very complete dimensions. I know that I fit mine into a pre-existing space which was very tight in all dimensions. I checked their website and they have all the dimensions - doors open/closed, recommended clearance, hinge clearance, etc. Very complete specs are available.
