I have a couple of light internal doors which were hung by a professional joiner when the house was built about 10 years ago. These doors are hung in such a way that they very slowly drift to the open position. I want them to drift to the closed position.
Dead Easy I thought. I packed out the lower hinge on the frame side with a thin piece of card - Result no Difference.
So I then packed out the lower hinge on the door side. No difference.
I tried the same approach on the top hinge. Again No difference.
Any ideas from a smart joiner/carpenter?
I could of course fit Spring Loaded hinges and solve the problem but a far cheaper solution would be a slight adjustment to the door hang.
