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.
Simply remove one of the hinge pins. Lay it on a hard surface (sidewalk, basement floor) and hit it with your hammer causing a slight bend in the pin.Replace the pin and the door will stay where you put it.

wrangler , you made me laugh very loud. good job. Wher can I find a dead pet.
Hompac, you hit the nail on the head. Just bend a hinge pin( or 2) and that will do the job for the quick fix. Obvoiusly the right tinng is to rehang the door or jack up the house on one side.
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:

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!
Could use this magnetic door catch; also helps with drafts closing doors you want open.
