Also, your existing frames will most certainly not be level or plumb, so getting a door to fit properly will be tough. For your double door, when you do get it in, pick up some rare earth magnets from Lee Valley. Put one on the top of the door and one on your frame. Silent, strong and much easier to install than a ball catch.

Now that is new to me. Do you find it works better than a ball catch?
