adjustable door hinge

My son is big into magic now.  We just came back from Las Vegas, where we saw Lance Burton and Penn & Teller.  One staple of magic, of course, is cold-reading...or mind reading.  I will demonstrate my psychic abilities right now:

Somewhere in your house...you have...a sticking or scraping door.

Am I close?  You bet.  That's because even if your doors were installed perfectly, something will come along to mess that all up:  humidity, foundation issues, painting the door frame, installing new floors.  The list goes on.  It really doesn't take much to screw up a flawlessly swinging door.

Adjustable door hinges promise to eliminate those problems, because they have wiggle room to accommodate changes in your house, floor, door-frame, or whatever:  up to 1/4" vertically and 1/8" horizontally.

Why don't all door hinges work like this?
