Hello, I think I am going nuts. What we want is simple, but I cannot find it online or anywhere. I have made doeznes of search on all kinds of terms, but I just can't find it - and I can find anything! :-) We have a standard kitchen door we want to replace with a door that is essentially two half doors split vertically. You might call it a French Door, but that is not quite it. A Cafe Door is close, but not full length. Same goes for Saloon Door. We may like a door with shutters or louvres, but "Shutter Door" also doesn't seem to be the thing. Bi Fold isn't right either, but it is close - the doors would be sized like a bi fold, but they would not fold - each would have their own hinges attached to the door frame. We want the doors to have a dual hing action so they can open either way, but go back to being closed. Please, does anyone have a great door place or site I can visit to find this thing? What should I call it?

Those who have worked professionally as carpenters for many years, how often was it that you found that doors, even in new construction, just never fit? One thing in any project I do that I always have an issue with is doors. Doesnt matter if its cabinets or a 8 foot entrance door, there is always something that just doesnt line up or fit and can either require something as little as a slight turn of a screw or the extreme of tearing of an entire wall including framing down. Just wanted some food for thought opinions as I'm fairly new to carpentry as a hobby. My latest example was my walk in closet door. I premeasured the opening, based on another walk in closet that was built with the house originally. I didnt account for the decrease in size with mud, trim, carpet + thick underlay. I test fitted the door and it fit perfect. After the room was finished it wouldnt fit worth a damn. Spent this evening shaving 3/4" inch off of one side, and 1/2" off the bottom. A little miscalculation on my part caused me a heap load of grief. Luckily it fits nice now, just requires some hand sanding to make the skilsaw cut look more uniform. I could go on and on with door stories but I want to hear some others.
