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?

That doesn't sound likely, there's usually a frame all around that is at least an inch thick, and probably more like a couple.

Right you are, I was thinking of the depth of the side pieces, not the thickness of the edge pieces.

Doing that could be fine for making more space at the bottom. It won't fix how the gap is too big at the top. But if OP doesn't mind, then no biggie.
