Check

Helper Holds the taped door in the opening while you mark and hang the hinges.
What you're looking at
The hinges are the lift-off kind: the pins point up, so the door drops on and lifts straight off. The top and bottom corner panel clips on that vertical are the alignment datum, because they are already square to the frame.
Tip
tape the door in the opening first to see where it wants to sit.
