    Are the opening of the framing too small or too large?

      For the odd size you can remove the casing and alter the opening using lumber fixed to the framing.

      For an opening that is too small you might try locating a bifold panel door and re trimming the casing or get a second hand solid wood door and having it cut to fit.

    Hi Alicia,

    Have you considered accordion doors, they might just be a solution to your odd sized door frames?

    If you buy solid core doors, you can cut them down to size. You could also check with local salvage places for doors the size you need.

    We actually got lucky and found a local door manufacturer that makes wooden doors. They made a prehung solid color door with three panels to match our existing doors for under $200! Maybe you have one in your area too!

    😊

    Your local lumberyard can order doors to fit. Standard sized doors can be trimmed down to fit your odd sized openings. These doors can be prehung if there aren't jambs already in place or they can just supply just the door. They can tell you how to measure your openings.
