Most French Doors the RO will be between 63-64”. You’ll need to remodel the opening, including the header. What brand of door?

The door is Jeld-Wen. I checked the specs and it says the rough opening needs to be at least 61 1/2. I think I can make it work. I would think trimming the doors and jam would be easier than ripping out the opening and having to reframe and drywall...no?

There’s a few ways to do it. You can cut the sheetrock nails and push it over with a 62” block and re-nail. If the wall’s “Not Load Bearing” you can remove the 2x trimmer and replace with a thinner one. You Can plane it. If I was doing it I’d probably grab the Big Foot and get that bump out of my way.

62 inch RO would most likely have ball catches, rather than a T-astragal where the doors meet. That's fine if it's a door to a common area. If you're looking for privacy, not the best choice. They are generally used for closet doors.

You would base the rough opening of a door unit based on a specific door.
If the RO changed due to warping of material, you would remove the warped goods and reframe the opening.
