    It works!!! Had irritating swinging door that wouldn’t stay open- used a rag to keep it open- thank god I watched your video- after 8 years, I have a door that will stay open!!! Thanks

    Thank you so much. I'm an 80 year old great grandma and I recently put some Wd-40 on my bathroom door hinges. Then the door wouldn't stay open. So annoying. I found your video right away and took the top pin out and put it on the garage floor and hit it with my hammer. I had quite a time getting the pin back in the hinge due to having to lift the door a tiny bit to align the hinges but I finally prevailed and voila!!! Your solution works like a charm. I can't wait to teach this trick to my son. He will be happy he doesn't have to come over here and put my door back on.

    Thank you so much for this awesome quick fix. I just had a storm door installed last week and the installer did tap the pins back down in the hinges. They were all sticking up quite a bit but I hadn't noticed. However, that did not stop the problem of the door closing. So glad I decided to do some research and came across your video. I was never concerned before because I didn't have a need to leave the front door open. But now I do and it stays open perfectly! 😁

  • @richt2230
    @richt2230 Год назад +2

    Awesome tip; worked perfectly (had to bend all 3 pins (slightly)). Driving me crazy for the last year and finally decided to try something today. Thank you!! 😀

      Oh that feeling of spending 2 minutes solving a problem that's plagued us for years, right? Right now I'm walking around the house like I just cured cancer. The best part is I get to spend the next couple of years reminding my wife about that time I fixed our bedroom door. Oh, and that time I washed that cereal bowl that was sitting in the sink. Yep, my list of accomplishments is really starting to take shape. 😝

    Yesssss got in a new place with a silly door that closes by itself. So annoying. Took 20 seconds of googling, a minute to watch your video and it’s solved 😎

    haha thank you! finally got fed up enough with my bathroom door shutting on its own, and a towel under the door as a stopper for 3 years! searched and your video was first one up. Tried it and it worked like a charm the first try! Literally 60 seconds! only hand to bend the middle one. Genius!

  • @lisagustafson1652
    @lisagustafson1652 Год назад

    Thank you so much. That worked perfectly on a door at my daughter’s house. It was driving me crazy. :) Now the dogs can go in and out of that room again without me having to hold the door open. :)

  • @mekawreka

    Might be a little overkill, but I did it in all 3 pins and it worked perfectly. Thank you!

    This just worked like a charm on our son's bedroom door. Our teenage son loves hanging out in his room and playing on his VR. However he also has a dog that hates to be without him for more than 10 minutes, but that also needs to come and go from his room in case he needs to go outside to do what dogs do outside. He has never been able to leave his door cracked just a little without it drifting all the way open. This has been an issue for years, but I finally decided to go looking for a solution when I ran across your video. Two minutes later and the problem is finally solved. Now pretty much anywhere we stop that door along its path, it stays right there. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Now to spend 15 seconds solving our ten year long procrastination of putting a nail behind our laundry room door so we can hang our flyswatter. My wife should be so proud at all I've accomplished on a Sunday afternoon. I wonder if she'll brag to her friends about how handy I am?🤣

    My mobile home doors have smaller than usual hinges and the pin is not removable by any amount of pounding. What suggestion do you have?

    • @TrainingHandsAcademy
      @TrainingHandsAcademy  8 месяцев назад

      ... maybe replace the hinges with a newer style? Sounds like the door needs more than what this video covers.

  • @Shelshel50
    @Shelshel50 2 года назад

    What if you don’t have a tool to get the pin out? I hate to go buy that just for one door. Is there another option or is it best yo just go get one?

    • @TrainingHandsAcademy
      @TrainingHandsAcademy  Год назад

      The door must be really bad then... I would try bending them even more. The only problem with that is they can get noisy.
