For what it’s worth, this would be intentional. They would have had to buy a blank door panel and make the lockset holes and hinge gains themselves. The handle holes aren’t center in the door, and the hinges aren’t equidistance either.
So not an idiot, and at least a little handy if they didn’t just pay someone to intentionally do this as well. Most people would just buy prehung doors, especially the front.
My first gig was construction. The foreman and another guy were talking about how pre-hung doors were the best thing ever made.When I asked them why they believed this they worked with me to hang a door. Fuck that, pre-hung doors are like the 4th greatest creation of the 20th century.
When I was a kid, my dad had a friend who had been a carpenter, and retired, but he would still hang doors. He said the amount of money he could charge for that made it worth doing them.
No doubt, if your home is older you need a door guy to fix problems. In my modular shitbox you can just rehang a new prehung door.
When did prehung doors become a thing? This was in the 70s
1956 is the patent but loving in the Northeast USA most houses were older than that.
