Hello :wave:
Is the garage Doors in fire station 5361 the same size as in set 4819 ???

It looks as if they might be as the part numbers for the doors and for the door frame are different in the two sets. The design of the new doors might explain the difference in the part numbers for the doors, but not for the door frame if the two sets of doors were the same size. Certainly, the new doors look taller than the old ones, but this may just because they have six panels rather than four.

In 5361, this is the door part:
30 21 6503 - Door, large, 2x5 grid of windows (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30%2021%206503)
and two of them fit into
30 21 6533 - Wall with doorway, very large (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30%2021%206533)
It so happens that the German names for these parts include the dimensions: each door is 97x170, and the doorway, 225x180. (That's millimetres.)
In 4819, the four doors are all one part:
30 51 6390 - Garage doors, 4 panels with windows (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30%2051%206390) - but have no measurement in the German name.
However, the door opening is
30 20 2972 - Doorway, garage, wide with sill (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30%2020%202972)
and the name says it measures 210x180.
Verdict: the surrounds are the same height, but different widths. The other doors would likely fit height-wise but not width-wise.

The change in the design is interesting as the earlier version are just like the doors you find on many fire stations in the UK. I imagine that the new ones just open out.
Looking at the building instructions, it's interesting how the bunks are accommodated and the extra storage shelves and holders for the helmets.
