Door Won't Stay Open

When we bought this place about three and a half years ago, the hinges on one bathroom door squeaked. A little shot of WD-40 fixed that. But it's never stayed open since then without a door stop. [img]/forums/images/icons/frown.gif[/img] It swings almost, but not quite, shut. It stayed open before I fixed the squeak. The door fits into the frame very well, latch works fine, etc. I might be able to adjust a hinge; put a shim under the bottom and center hinge (3 hinges). It seems that the best solution would be if I could find something just very slightly sticky to put in the hinges. [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img] It wouldn't take much to get that door to stay in whatever position you leave it, as all the other doors in the house do. So what solutions would you recommend?

Bird, take out one door hinge pin and bend it slightly. Then put it back in. The little bit of extra Resistance may help.

Thanks, Egon. I hadn't thought about that, but I'll try it. I've done some checking and the problem is obvious; the door frame is not exactly vertical. I put a thin cardboard shim under the middle and bottom hinges, but that wasn't enough.

Sometimes we overlook the obvious, but the bent pin trick seems to have fixed it.
