Another Rough Opening Issue

Gee, me and these rough openings!!

This time it's on me--since I built the rough openings for the closets.

I have two closets with 20" wide rough openings. I have not ordered/bought a prehung 18" door, but was wondering:

will an 18" prehung FIT into the 20" opening? Or do I need to go custom on this?

Width will work. You need to also check height.

Thanks, I didn't want to buy a door then have it not fit and have to plane or sand the sides.

The height is OK. I got 3 1/4" casing trim--works great.

deck doors install ?

What will I be looking at as far as a price to get the french doors installed going out to the deck? I need the hole cut out also to put them in, right now there is a window in the spot. I went to lowes and home depot and no luck, they will both install a door but will not cut the hole for it. They tell me it has something to do with the header, makes no sence to me. If you install doors for a living, you should know how to install a header, correct? How come I have a feeling I'm going to pay an arm and leg for these job.
