What happens here

Remove the existing door and door frame from the target doorway. Using a reciprocating saw, carefully cut and widen the doorway opening to the desired width, which is indicated to be wider than 36 inches to potentially reclassify the room (e.g., from a 'bedroom' to a 'den' for local regulation purposes). Install new vertical and horizontal wood framing pieces to create a strong and stable opening for the split door, ensuring the frame is double-studded for added support, especially since the door will swing.

Goal: Modify the existing doorway to accommodate the new split door structure and width requirements
