Hello,

I have two salvaged doors which I would like to make into double doors

jamb 3/8" wider than the sum of the door widths. *Does that sound
right?

Also, what options are available for hardware to hold them in the

want to have any hardware in the floor. *The only thing I could think

Thanks,

Why couldn't you use just about any type of cabinet latch attached to
the upper jamb?

Magnetic, clip, etc.

I currently use heavy duty magnetic cabinet latches on my shed to keep
both doors "in the closed position while allowing them to operate
independently".
