Hello I have a 10 panel glazed internal door hinged on the right and it continually swings shut. I was told that bending the hinge pin would stop the swing so I fitted loose pin hinges and bent the pins. It might might helped a bit but the door still swings. Is there anything else I can try short of having a new door frame fitted? Thanks for any help

unfortunately the door leans a bit -so the weight is making the door shut
check the door jamb on the hinge side with a level -its probably leaning a bit, so when the door is open the door itself leans forward
not a lot you can do really -maybe pack the bottom hinge a bit and bring in the top hinge -you wont have an even margin anymore
maybe fit a 3rd hinge in the middle -it might stop the door closing

Hinges are out of alignment, fix that and the door won’t swing .
