A lot of double doors use a sliding latch at the top and bottom on one door to hold it in place, which makes it rigid when you close the other door. This requires matching holes above and below in the frame and floor. Other than that they normally have standard hinges. No separator, that would divide the opening and negate the advantage of having a double wide door opening. The mortise on the second picture looks pretty deep so a standard hinge might not fit without some modification. Can't really see any details where the knobs/handles would attach but those also look non-standard. You could always fill the openings and go to standard modern hardware.
Nice color, that should look good surrounded by your brownish pc.

I've been looking around for a pic of the window we put in a few weeks ago but can't find it. I did come across these of the french doors I will be putting in on the south wall. I think I will have to hire someone to install them because I have no idea how to do it and they are so big and heavy. I bought them at Habitat and there was a note attached that I would need to buy special hardware. It gave me the name of the place to get what I will need, but I bought these things 5 years ago so am not sure it I can get the parts. From the pics it looks as if they will need a separator between them, something for them to affix to when they are closed.
Any advice or observations are welcome.
