You are welcome, CW.

The cynic in me says "what standard?" although I'm sure there is one.

I've lived in some places that may not have been so standard. And I should
clarify that I was replacing doors in an otherwise unmolested door frame. I
was putting in 6-panels to replace flat door to dress up the joint a little.
I'd lay the new door atop the old door and transfer the cut-out lines so as
to keep the door frame cut-outs matched up.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, copying the existing doors would be a way to go
but, there must be a standard. I look at it as, if I were starting from
scratch, do I know everything I need to know to do the job? In this case,
I
would have to say I don't.

I haven't done "hundreds", but I've done a few - all without a router. I
just made sure the hinges and (interior) doors were the same dimensions
as
the others in the house and used the other doors as a guide to get my
placement and spacing. A router and template would have been nice, but
all
I had was a limited budget, a hammer and a chisel. Worked out pretty
well.
Caulking and painting the doors helped mask my inefficiencies with the
chisel.

Now that I have a router, I'd probably do it the same way to keep from
having to buy the guide. Maybe. I'm always looking for a good reason to
buy more tools.

Hope this helps.
