Do you need to buy pre hung doors if the door frames are allready there? And is it hard to do?
Question:
Answers:
No. If the door frames are in good shape and it is a standard size opening, you can buy the doors alone. It is not 'hard' to do, but it can be a little tedious. To really decide whether a project like this would be too difficult for you, I would suggest you take a look at the DIY (Do-it-Yourself) site on-line. (There is also a cable TV show with the same name.) They have step-by-step instructions that will guide you through the whole process. It's an extremely user-friendly site and I believe they will have instructions for every type of door from interior to exterior, bi-fold, etc. Check it out for other home projects while you're there. You'll be amazed how they take the fear and mystery out of some pretty ambitious home projects!

no---but it is more conveinent if you can find one that will fit...
...
No, but you need to make sure the hind cut out are at the same location or you need a router to cut them out. It can be done it you know a little about wood working, if not hire a finish carpenter.
Find a local lumber yard who builds their own doors. You can bring in the existing doors and they will match the new ones to your existing doors. Then you can use your existing jambs and your new doors will match up exactly the same as your existing doors.
