Bedroom door won't stay open

Bernard

Hi,

My sons bedroom doors has never stayed fully open, the door slowly closes but not completely. Does anyone have any ideas on where to start to solve this? Is it the floor not being level, hinges or anything else?

Its been like this for over 3 years and its finally doing my head in!

Thanks in advance.

Before you start getting joinery tools out.............what about buying a rubber door wedge?

I have been using a wedge to keep it open, nice suggestion, but as the months go by the door is slowly getting to me arrrrrghh LOL!

One hundred and one reasons!

Door hang badly?
Frame moved or out of square?
House subsiding?

The door will always go to the lowest point so packing/moving the hinges will normally work if its not way out.

Right, I've spoken to the door and told it that we have a date this weekend! Let battle commence!

The door will stay open. :-)

You rarely get anywhere on a first date! Better plan to try again the weekend after. :rotfl:
