Just an example.

As old as this house is and the fact that nothing is a standard measurement means, I probably can't use standard sizes. But I'll check it out.

With paint, it will only have 1/8" or under but expansion will sometimes cause it to bind do bevel your saw and cut a 2 degree or slight bevel on the strike edge. it will never stick on ya unless you have huge wet/dry seasonal changes. Since its only 3/4", there shouldn't be any issues.

On my post, its 3/32" not 13/32.

Yes, our doors are vertical, not horizontal. In the closets, a frame would be fine, but in the bathroom, no frame, just the 3/32" gap would be ideal.
