Hello,
I have two salvaged doors which I would like to make into double doors for a closet. So I have to build a new jamb for them, and I am wondering how much clearance I should allow around each door and in between the doors. I was thinking 1/8" everywhere, so I would make my jamb 3/8" wider than the sum of the door widths. Does that sound right?
Also, what options are available for hardware to hold them in the closed position while allowing them to operate independently? I don't want to have any hardware in the floor. The only thing I could think of was a ball catch at the top inside corner of each door, but I'm not sure how well that would work.
Thanks, Wayne
