   I don't know, but if you post this on Breaktime, you'll be more likely to get some better informed opinions.

   I do know. I don't know what the trade name is off the top of my head, but go to a lumberyard, yeah, a real one not a box, and look for a line of fasteners made by GRK. They're typically bronze and have star drives and self cutting threads. On an aside, they're great screws for a variety of different uses. Their trim screws are the bomb. But back to your case, they make a two part screw. The top 3/4" or so threads into the jamb and remains a permanant fixture. you can cover it with a plastic cap (not so great) or leave it (even more not so great). The shank spins freely but is captive to the head, and is threaded like any other screw. Insert the whole thing in your jambs, top, middle, and bottom, and the middle shank you use to tighten or loosen. Now you can 'fudge' things in or out with the seasons. Downside, you're going to reset your doors and get rid of the shims so you can move things. You'll likely only have a consistant reveal half the year. I haven't tried them, I don't know if I trust them, but they're out there and marketed pretty specifically to people in your shoes.
