That would be my response. Since the wives are such good friends, the way
to ensure they remain such good friends is for him to hire a door
specialist to do this, or take the doors back and purchase the right size.
This is like moving a piano . . . don't ask friends to do it, hire the
pros and always keep the friends.
The best that can happen is that all goes well; the worst that can happen
is the wives will become not good friends and you will get the cold
shoulder from yours for a while. It just isn't worth it. Doors are cheap
compared to friendships and a lot easier to come by.
I cannot imagine asking someone to do such a favor and then telling him
how to do it. He thinks he knows how to do it, loan him the tools and
tell him you'd feel more comfortable with him doing it since he knows how
he wants it to be done. Tell him nicely, but do it and do it firmly.
Just my opinion.

Wise words. Friends don't help friends move pianos. I don't feel like
telling the tale for the umpteenth time, but Google remembers how my
friend's piano wound up road pizza.

Evidence that even the pros screw up is available down at the door shop.
In their bone pile. At $15/door. Or less.
