I am very happy to make custom jambs and prehang any of my doors
However, since there are so many different threshold, I do not install thresholds.

I make the jambs and prehang the door then disassemble the jamb for shipping.

CLICK HERE to see how to assemble our Door Jambs

I can provide the side jambs long so you can cut it to the proper length for your door shoe and threshold.

If you wish me to provide the threshold, I will be happy to do that.
Please

Therefore ........ I give you my heights (of door and top jamb) and
you add for the door shoe and threshold and that will give you your R.O. height
