closet opening too wide?
I will be installing closet doors in a bedroom. I've decided to put in
two bi-fold doors. My challenge: the doors are 48" wide, by my opening is 51-1/8" wide. I've already installed the trim... maybe a mistake. Is there a way I can put a cheater board in or something? Suggestions are most welcome. Thanks! Jay |

The easiest thing that comes to mind is, as you say, a "cheater" in the middle! |

You'll only have to buy three longer pieces - the jamb header and the two header casings. Doing anything else is likely to take as much time and won't look as good. In future you might want to consider prehanging the doors, attaching the outside casings and installing it as a unit. R |
