I have a door in a downstairs bathroom in a 40 year old 4 level split.

The problem I have is that the door won't stay open. After you open
it, it always swings closed about 4-6" - which is not much, but since
it is a small bathroom, it is just enough to jam the door into your
hip as you turn around.

What can I do with the pins or hinges to make the door stay in the
fully open position?

Don't screw around with bending the hinge pins and other hack fixes.

They sell magnetic (and mechanical) door holders pretty cheaply:

Those are easier to use than the kind you have to flip up and down with
your foot. Just fully open the door and it'll stay there until you give
it a little tug.

I've had one on my office door ever since we moved in. I installed it
because the door frame was out of plumb and the door wouldn't stay open.

Do you consider shimming a hinge to make the door plumb a hack fix?
