three interior doors move from fully open to 1/3 or more closed because the frames must not be plumb, can I do anything to the hinges to fix this?

  1. Either the top hinge is too far out or the bottom hinge is too far in on the door jamb. remove, redrill, reinstall.


  2. remove a pin from one of the hinges bend it slightlt very slighyly   and put it back in,

  3. A door stop, looks like a little wedge, can be bought and used to keep the door open

  4. or try shimming out the bottom door hinge with a couple of pieces of paper or cardboard just not too much so as the door binds on the other side.or try taking a chisel and remove some wood from behind the top hinge
