How to Fix a Door that Swings on its Own

Many times doors are either set out of plumb or a house shifts due to soil movement resulting in a door that slowly swings open or closed without any assistance. This can be aggravating but it is a problem that is easily fixed with a few simple hand tools. First remove the hinge pin from one of the hinges on the door. Take the hinge pin outside and place it on the concrete. Using a hammer hit the pin in order to place a slight bend in it. Finally, reinstall the pin in the door hinge. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to bend the pin more or bend all of the hinge pins for that particular door.  Discover and share home improvement knowledge at www.HomebuiltHowTo.com.
