Stop a door from drifting open?

My bedroom door is very annoying and I've tried everything I could think of to stop this. It's a lightweight wooden door so I'm not sure if it's hollow or not. Problem is if I want to leave it slightly open it drifts so much that it's wide open again. No wind is blowing in my home from what I can tell. The furnace is off doing the day, no windows are open.

look out for those 'free cats' with a stripe down there back. (Usually black and white models) use those and you MAY need a few of those Glade plug in jobbies AND a few bottles of frebreeze

personally I would prefer a god old dead possum or raccoon,,,long as they arent pizza'ed too thin!!

Well just great! I'm glad you fixed your door, but now I'm stuck with this pile of dead cats that I've been collecting from the side of the road that I was planning on selling on e-bay as door stops! If my potential buyers read about your fix I'll NEVER be able to move them.
Hmmm,,, what was that recipe for street pizza?
As for the Society for the Preservation of Gravity, I read in the paper today that new administration has plans to repeal the Law of Gravity to reduce friction as ease the gas prices even more. If so, maybe I'll be able to sell these cats as furry balloons at the fair.

The Society for the Preservation of Gravity is responsible for ensuring we have enough gravity to cause problems such as with your door. So you can thank them for ensuring problems such as this exist today, and for furture generations. Gravity is a finite resource, please conserve! :thumbsup:

Yes, the press has done a really poor job of covering the gravity problem.

The leading cause of elderly traumatic death in the home is the result of gravity. Simple ground level falls can cause serious injury or death.

I donate to the SPG.:yes:

Plus if they are a large person and fall on their cat they cause Flat Cat Syndrome.

Just jack up the whole house until that door is plumb and level.
The unfortunate consequence will be that all of your other doors will drift, but at least this one will be fixed! :)
