I've bought a fairly old house (early 1900s) that had a recessed

As it turns out these are horrible and falling apart now in any
case.
The trouble is, I'd like to replace with a door pair (straight
swap),
but I'm having trouble finding external doors that small. I need
a
couple of 27" doors, but the doors I'm looking at seem to start at
30".
For an idea of what I'm after: http://tinyurl.com/ydpx6av

According to the information, 3" is a bit much to be lopping off
the
edges of the door! Any ideas, or am I going to be lumbered with
paying
through the nose for custom made?

Thanks very much





Try searching for "French doors", although these usually come with a
frame

A decent local joinery company could make you a pair for not too much.
I had the opposite problem a year or two ago and had an extra wide
door made to fit a shop front - it didn't break the bank.
