Default Door wont stay open

Sorry if this already has a post.

But my door have a tendency to close themselves just because the bumps on the hinge are so worn.
Is the a way to fix this for close to nothing? Jimmy rig of some sort?

My door has always basically closed by itself since day 1. I love it because I never have to shut the door myself! Although I have gotten wacked in the shin a few times while getting in.

Your Z doors will tend closing. That is not a problem for which owners should concern themselves.
