Its not a standard distance:

Its usually mounted to the nearest stud to the doorway that isnt part of the door frame. That usually puts it within a foot of the doorway. Standard stud gaps are 16", but the doors tend to encroach on that a bit.

But sometimes it ends up mounted to the doorframe stud, anyway. If the frame is thick enough, and there isnt much trim, thats not a problem.
