Swinging Doors

[jlacd]

All the internal doors in our house swing open, and I mean *really* swing open - up to 140 degrees in some cases! I wouldn't mind if they swung shut, but not open.

How easy is it, and what needs done to refit them so they don't swing? My alternative approach is to smack the hinges with a hammer, to knacker them up enough so's they're stiff, or fit a draught-excluding brush to the bottom of the doors so the brushes rub on the floor. Although that will obviously mark a nice quarter-circle in the carpet after time.

You could fit rising hinges, these will always want to close.These types of hinge are ideal for clearing your carpet, as the door rises slightly as you open it.

If you do this, remember you need to buy LH or RH hinges, depending on which way your doors open.....
