   unfortunately it is the largest supplier in the world that made this unit (Masonite)

   I doubt that Masonite Corp made the unit.  They certainly made the door panel, but I suspect a local or regional company routed the mortises, attached the hardware, drilled the bore, etc."Put your creed in your deed."   Emerson

   It was ordered from Masonite so for all intents and purposes that is Masonite to me, although i am sure everything is outsourced

   You didnt say Masonsite made it. I'd say you got off lucky.

   Thats probably the best they did all month.

     Billybatts. what usually happens is masonite ships slabs to the millwork company where they are cut and hung. Not that it matters, a screw up is a screw up, but that's how it works 'round here.

   I never noticed before as I havn't done many doors but, today at work I noticed doors that had been installed several years ago had the same hinge configuration. I don't know who the manufacturer may have been

   probably pre-hung, and when the apprentices put the doors back on, paid no attention to the hinges. As for the location of the Square hinge on the door itself...ouch. If it came that way it IS time to get a new supplier!!

   Looks like some one mixed up something else for jamb stock.

   I have never seen a jamb that looks like that .

   It looks like it has some sort of an offset hinge: the kind that opens the door wider for handicap access.

   It also looks like the doorstops were set for an 1 3/8" door and someone hung a 1 3/4" door instead.

   The pictures weren't that clear for me though.

   Looks like something made by hose-A and hose-B at beer-thirty on payday Friday.

    Not really sure what is going on here. 1st: Masonite does not hang doors. They make and sell to jobbers. 2nd: It appears that the backset for the door hinge is wrong, that is why the door projects past the face of the door jamb. 3rd: The rabbet for the door and weatherstrip should be 2 1/4" deep before the w/s is installed. Cannot really tell from the pic if that is the case or not. To have a sq/rad butt hinge set-up is not all that uncommon. Many of the steel/ FG companies have a thru mortise on the door stile in order not the "HAND" the doors with a radius hinge mortise. In any case.... I would not accept the door unit as it is.... take it back and have them do it right. Where did you buy this door anyway????? Good Luck

   it was a special order and my 'window' to install this door was quickly running out so i just pulled the door and hinges off the jamb and mortised the hinges closer to the jamb...it worked out good.  I ordered the door from a local lumberyard in Calgary but they do not manufacture these units...as far as i know it came from the Masonite factory in Surrey, BC.  They are nice doors and not nearly as easy to scratch as a steel skin door (which is just plain junk)....this door was about $750.00...standard width and height  but it was an outswing.
