Hinge type? Door swinging open help?

Hi, hoping for some advice please.

My internal Living Room door keeps on swinging open. Can anyone advise what hinge types these are and how I can fix the door to stop swinging open on its own.

Thank you.

  • That’s a Hickman hinge, I’m assuming fairly new build?
      Your door lining is out of plumb, depending how bad you may be able to adjust by moving the square section in the hinge
    Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene.'

    Thanks for the reply. I’ve found a YouTube video showing how to adjust the square section. I’ll give that a go 👍🏻

    If that doesn't work it may be worth while looking at 'Rising Butt Hinges'.  https://www.screwfix.com/p/self-colour-rising-butt-hinges-rh-76mm-x-71mm-2-pack/197PR?tc=GT1  The angle on the hinge makes the door swing shut automatically.  They do require more clearance at the top than a standard hinge, but will fix the problem.
