Initially when I was thinking about the shop, I had wanted a double french door (48") with glass panel. The idea was that with 48" wide doorway into the shop would allow easy access in and out for tools and lumber. Also the glass panel would serve as an easy look into the shop for wife and kids without inhaling the dust. As a safety feature, Aleck had mentioned that you don't want to be caught by 'Daddyyyy.../Honeyyy...." while in the middle of cut on the table saw. This glass panel would help with this.
So I did some search for prehung door on various online sources along with Home Depot and Lowes and what I found was that french doors are not sold as pre-hung, well at least at my local BROG. I really want to use a prehung door, as this would make the installation much easier. So the double french door 48" idea has to go as this would require installing doors on the frame.... I am not ready for that just yet.
The second option was to go with a pre-hung 36" door. This is as wide as they get for pre-hung doors. The issue I had (again at my local BORG) was that they don't come with glass panels, only solid (well, hollow) doors. So, that is what I have decided to go with in the end. A SIMPLE 36" pre-hung door.
As for glass panel for safety measure, well, I have to device up some shop rules for this:
Rule #1:
If you hear a machine running, don't knock on the door or coming into the shop
