Hello,
We’re finishing up replacing our interior doors but have run into a snag. We have three closets left; all are double interior doors. I measured the width, and they’re 23 3/4” wide. My plan was to just remove the old, buy the new prehung, and put those in place as the hinge mortises are in the right place on the new doors and old jambs. The problem is the new doors measure 24”?? I can’t imagine these are custom made, because they’re pretty cheap feeling, but they’re definitely wider by 1/4”. There’s definitely not a 1/2” gap between the two old doors to make room for new.
Here are pics of the old abs new-
