   The prehung part is the screw job.

   You'll have to change the hinge cuts on the doors and the jambs.

   And correct (or eliminate mostly so it closes past the strike side jamb) the latch bevel. Usually leaves a larger margin than is pleasing. Can't eliminate it totally-the setback of the lockset will be compromised.

   The best way would be to sell the doors and reorder.

   If you don't want to do that, cut the hinges on the door the other way, make up a new hinge side jamb (rather than fill the old hinge cuts ((tho you could fill'em I guess and live with it as it's paint grade-lotta work to make them "really" disappear)) ). Still deal with the bevel.

   Man, just thinking of this has me dizzy-you know how it is when you start thinking RH, LH, RH.............

   wow.

   Edit: I remember a long while ago there was a company that thought quick was cheap, so

   The prepped all their doors with the knob bore dead center on the door-40". That way they could flop the doors to fit any jamb hand. The hinges were the same way. You could flip the jamb sides and make a different hand no problemo.

   You should be so lucky.

   I'm with calvin on this one
   I'm with calvin on this one -- find a buyer at whatever price you can get.

   And get the new doors done right.

   Craigs List. Someone, somewhere, just might need a few of them to take the sour taste out of eating the cost.

   Other than that, it can be done, but you will pay as much to have it done right as you would to just buy new doors.

   You might get as much by donating them to HfH Restore and taking the tax write-off as you by selling them. Just a thought...

   I receintly ordered and had installed 77 doors. You better belive I checked that list 3 or 4 times...
