Looking online it seems that buying a 'book' door is something no one considers or knows about. You go to a lumber yard and order a door or 3. "Book" means it's a door, no prep, just a door out of the rack.

Having a 4 foot set with an active door and an inactive door pinned most of the time for the active to have something to latch to means you get to use a about 23" of walking space every day. The only doors that both swing open simultaneously are in movies. No one actually behaves like that.

Minimum for me inside is 30" each.

These will be painted.

I'll look into 'book' doors, that sounds like possibly a good way to go.

I thought the same thing about the small opening and opening one door vs both and that sort of thing. I think these doors would be open 99.9% of the time, and probably only ever get closed if someone was visiting and staying the night which is usually the grandkids or adult kids and grandkids, so they can just open both doors and probably wouldn't need them to be locked. But yes, otherwise this sort of thing would be a nightmare.

I don't like barn doors. The missus does.

Our here, I always try to buy TM Cobb doors

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, that I do all of the installation, hanging, etc.... I think it's something that I can do.

It's not overly difficult to hang a door.

Good to know, thanks.
