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?

Did it ever maintain the correct position? If yes, the screws are probably
loose.

I've been in the house about 2.5 yrs and I don't remember it staying
fully open....

I'm off to the local Home Depot to see if they have any of those
magnetic door stops, that looks like it would do the trick.

If they don't have them....

I got mine at a locksmith's shop.



As for hack fixes.... bending a pin sounds like a hack to me, shimming
the hinge does not seem like a hack.

Hey, watch it, "Hack" is a sacred word to me.....G
