I’ve got a 36” door opening with a bifold that I want to convert to double pivot doors. Unfortunately this 70s house has a 1”x2” door stopper/trim around the front of the door, reducing the flush, himgeable surface of the casing to 34”. I can’t shave off 1/2” on each side of the hollow doors… and looking at taking the jambs out and redoing the trim looks like it would be more expensive and labour intensive than its worth.

34” doors are hard to come by where I am, but there are 32” and 36” bifolds at home depot. I thought maybe I could take one off of each to average to 34”… (there are two closets)

Would it bother you if one side of the door was 16” and the other side was 18”? They would swing out opposite directions with hinges on the outer side. https://imgur.com/a/tPNnPZt
