14 years ago I would have suggested gluing a peice of carpet the the bottom of the door for hidden friction to the floor.

Can't say that I've seen one, and a bent hinge pin is just asking for
trouble.

At one time we had hinge "brakes" that the hinge pin went through
before going into the hinge. They were adjustable from totally free
movement to holding whatever position you left the door in, or slowly
alowing the door to close on its own. Can't say I recall where we
got them, as it's been over 20 years ago, but they do exist.

Use a bolt instead of the pin and tighten it up to taste.
