I moved my business into a new building, and there is a doorway i want to put up a door in it. However the doorway is about 1/4" narrower at the bottom, than the top. Neither of the top corners are square. I am looking for the easiest way with the least amount of work and knowledge needed to hang this door. It is only a barrier, it is not for security. It will be closed most of the time, so i am not worried if it is going to naturally swing open or closed.

Also, the cuts for the hinges on the door and the frame do not line up. I am fine with buying a new door, but I would rather not replace the frame of i can avoid it.

Any suggestions?

        Depends on the quality of the door. My house was built in the 1960s and most of the interior doors aren’t hollow.

          I dunno, mine’s a 70 and they’re hollow and thin. But In this case, it sounds like they’re trying to fit a new door in an existing opening, so I’m assuming its a hollow interior door.

            It is a hollow door, but the amount of planing needed at the bottom is minor, I am more worried about the 1/4” gap at the top.

        More than two, those are entire stacks of mana I am using to hold the door in place. I also have a table with a short leg that is leveled with a stack of mountains.
