How do you fix a door that won't stay open?


The usual fix it to remove one or more hinge pins (easer if you only do
one at a time :-) and use a hammer to bend the pin slightly to add
resistance to hold the door open.

My father always hung doors so the top of the door fell back into the
frame. That would cause gravity to pull the door slightly into a closed or
fully open position. The disadvantage is that it made trying to keep the
door partly open more difficult. With a well balanced door it would make
the door self closing.
