HEALDSBURG — Host, Sarah Rutan: If you have a door that swings even after you’ve opened or closed it, there is a solution to solve this problem. Today, we’re in Healdsburg with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Dennis Thompson of Thompson Construction to learn his solution to a swinging door.
Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Dennis Thompson: Well, in some situations, people have doors that swing either closed or open when they don’t want them to, and it’s very frustrating. Of course, the, you know, the permanent way to fix that is to take the door out and reset it.
But a real simple way, and in most cases will fix the problem, is this: You close the door, you take one of the pins out of the hinge by just tapping it up and removing it, put it on a piece of wood, and with a hammer, bend it in the middle. And you put it back in the hinge. And it creates enough resistance, in most cases, that will make the door stay closed or open.
You may have to do both or all three hinges, depending on how much the door is swinging. But, typically, that will take care of your problem.
