Hi guys,
I need to install a door in a rough opening of 39" wide X 77.75" high. Standard pre-hung doors require an 82" rough opening.
Ordering a door with custom dimensions is absurdly expensive so I was thinking of buying a standard pre-hung door and cutting a little more than 4" off the bottom of the door and frame. However, this will cause the double bores to be approximately 4" too low.
My latest idea is to cut 2" off the top of the door and frame and a little more than 2" off the bottom of the door and frame to keep the bores at the right height.
My gut tells me this is going to be difficult with lots of room for error. Does anyone have any ideas to help or any advice?
Thanks!
