Doors and Windows - Framed interior door wrong...I think?

Any advise is apprieciated. I am finishing a basement and framed 3 doors. The opening is 32"x80" which I believe is the size of an average door, but will it accomadate a pre-hung door? If not, I know I can get a smaller width door, but how do I solve the heght issue? Thanks for any advise.:wall:

The rough opening for doors should be 2" larger than the size of the door in both directions. Usually I make the height 2-1/2" higher. You can get 6'-6" doors but will pay more for them. You can also cut the doors down if you are fairly handy. Cutting them down involves cutting a new piece and fitting it in the bottom of the door between the front and back skins. Not the best way to go if you can avoid it. Why not raise the height of the openings?

Drywall is already in place and I'm trying to avoid redoing it. Thank you for the advise. Anyone out there tried cutting a door down to size before? I think this is what I will end up doing.

With that opening size, you will be limited to a 2-6, or 30" wide door. The height can be cut. Remove the door from the frame and cut 1 1/2" off both legs of the frame. It should fit, although tightly, in your opening. Once it is squared, you can determine the amount to cut off the bottom of the door to clear tile, carpet, etc. Lay the door on a set of sawhorses draw your cut line, score the line with a sharp razor knife and make your cut to the waste side of the cut line. That way any fuzz or chip outs will be on your waste side and not on the door.

I know the original post concerned prehung doors, but with the opening size listed (32"X80") a standard door could be hung.

That assumes the opening is finished.

Just make sure when you install the frame it is square, square. square! Since you'll have to take the door out of the frame to get the frame in the opening, it's much harder to keep the gap between door and frame correct all the way around.

Hanging the door and frame assembled, without the casing one side (pre-hung door hanging method), is not only faster, but very accurate, because the door within the jamb becomes your square for side to side and up and down, when shimming/nailing, and the latch & catch holes line up perfectly, and the jamb is automatically flush with sheetrock on the one side.
