Default Short of rehanging a door, is there a quick way to make it NOTclose on its own ?

Spring hinge. They come in spring open and spring close, you want the
former.


Or a magnetic doorstop.


A little adjusting of the top and bottom hinges may work, I use
toothpicks under the hinges to cause/change the tilt of the door so
the autoclosing stops, or starts if I want the door to close, like a
bathroom door.
