    Optical illusion or just plane butchery?

    i was taught, many years ago 60/70's in fact, that on internal doors , because of perspective that the bottom hinge is 9" up and top is 6" down. So it most likely you camera or eye looking down slightly - if its all square and dimensions are within 1mm , must be OK
