I have a 9 1/4" opening (total width of wall including 5/8" sheetrock on each side) that I need to find a pre-hung 48" double raised panel door to fit - each door needs to be 24" wide by 80" tall.

Is it possible to buy a pre-hung door with a door jamb this wide? If so where - brick and mortor location or internet okay. Need this for a home in Houston, Texas.

By "width" you mean "wall-thickness" right?

You are using full 8" studs? How's that work? Sounds like special order to me unless you have real carpenter skills and don't mind some jamb extensions.

Old house. Once exterior porch that was enclosed.

Okay, now it's an exterior application. So these are exterior type atrium doors of a sort, is that correct?

Special order my friend special order.

Feel ya' I've got a few 14 inch thick door openings in my 200 year old home. I guess Home Depot isn't counting on my solid brick walls. :laughing:

Your best bet is to find some contractors in your area that specialize in old homes, cozy up and start learning.

Local lumber yards are a good place to start looking.

NO, not exterior. Interior that was ONCE exterior!

we used the split jamb pre-hung doors on a house that had a 12 inch interior wall. it was a modular and the doors were between the 2 sections. we got it from a door supplier. the split jambs were trimmed on both sides already also.

Yow okay got that part now, wasn't thinking. Do the floors match up?
Do you have carpentry skills?

:laughing: oh, I've got some of those too. They're 16-18 inches thick :whistling2: same thing. Enclosed porch.

It's still an exterior type set up as far as I'm concerned but I'm not going to argue with him.:wink:

I had to do this with several of my door Jambs... Not that hard if you can follow directions.

Just go to a "real lumber yard" and order what you need or build your own jambs.

[Lyndon]

Okay,

Today at lunch I will go to a "real lumber" yard as opposed to Home Depot or Lowe's and give that a try. Will let you know the result.

Custom jambs, sure.
