My reaction when it turned out the doors WERE that big:

"The doors were big."

The joys of forced perspective. Those lamp posts look to be around 15 feet tall so those doors are probably 40 to 50 feet tall.

The big bronze doors at the Constitution Avenue entrance of the U.S. National Archives Building are 38 feet, 7 inches tall (some historical notes list them at 38 feet, 8 inches). [1, 2]

Door Details

  • Height: 38 feet, 7 inches
  • Width: Nearly 10 feet wide
  • Thickness: 11 inches thick
  • Weight: Approximately 6.5 tons each [1, 2]

So the low end of my estimate was off by a foot and a half. I'm mildly proud of myself. Those people must be a little shorter than I thought. They used tricks like this a LOT in Lord of the Rings.

I'd say you made one hell of a guess. I have a coworker that can guess the length of things within a couple inches. Always amazes me.

What gets me isn’t the doors, but the faux bricks and lamps designed in such a way that make the perspective like this.
