Default door swings shut

Remove one hinge pin. Place hinge pin on concrete, a steel pad,
or a piece of hardwood. Smack the side of the pin at about mid
point until it is visibly bent. Reinstall the pin. There will be
additional tension on the hinge that will make the door stay put.

I have a bathroom door right next to the guest room. One of my
guests
suggested I oil it, since it squeaked. Now the door slowly
swings half
way shut, which is a real pain for anybody usin the sink who
want the
door open. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?

Thanks,
