why not trim the door down by 1/4 inch on each side

You haven't mentioned the height of the doors, either.

Hard to trim METAL!

You will find they are all going to be a half inch smaller than the
nominal size


I tend to think that Don is either asking the wrong question or hasn't
provided enough information.

If he plans to replace just the door itself, then maybe his question is
OK. If he is planning on replacing the door and the jamb, then I
think that he should determine the RO measurements and then shop for
a pre-hung door armed with that information.
