I've got a project coming up in Dec to convert a sitting room into an office by enclosing one passage with drywall and adding a French door to another.
The walls are 12" thick and because of the width and height of the door and the opening I will have to do drywall work to make the rough opening smaller.
So my question is about how to jamb and finish the door in the thick wall. Should the jamb be 12" wide with casing on the inside and outside of the thick wall or should I do the drywall so the jamb is only the normal 4.5" thick, preserving the existing shape of the exterior of the passage?
Note the other opening will be enclosed with a 4.5" thick wall, flush on the inside of the office with an indent on the foyer side of the wall.
