Need to replace doors. They are 1/4 inch narrower than stock doors.


You haven't provided enough information. In fact, you haven't even asked
a question.

What kind of doors? 6 panel pine? Slabs? Something else?

Are you replacing doors and jambs or just the doors? If you plan to get
pre-hung doors (which includes the jambs) you may find that your rough
opening is wide enough for "stock" doors. They may have shimmed the rough
opening so the current doors fit.

You may find it cheaper to get pre-hung doors and deal with the rough
opening than getting custom doors made.

On the other hand, we don't know where you looked for doors and what
you are considering "stock". There are other places to buy doors than
the big box stores. Have you considered looking at places that sell
architectural salvage? They usually have hundreds of doors in all
all kinds of sizes.
