Installing French doors can be a bit more complicated than exchanging one pre-hung single door in your bathroom for another. You will be hanging not one but two doors from scratch, so be sure you're comfortable and have some help before attempting the installation — whether interior or exterior. | Installing French doors can be a bit more complicated than exchanging one pre-hung single door in your bathroom for another.

Widening a doorway is one way to improve access to your home. It requires making extensive changes to the door frame to move the studs and install a longer header. Tackle this job on a day warm enough to expose your home to the elements and have plenty of help for lifting out the old door. Installing a pre-hung door is the preferred method for replacement, as it saves time and money. Most door styles are readily available for purchase in standard sizes. Order custom doors ahead of time, if that is preferred to standard doors. Use the standard, 80-inch high door for an easy fit. | |||
