Hi, I need help with the following issue. Namely, one of the doors in my apartment started to open automatically when they are slightly ajar. How can I fix them, I read that the hinges are adjustable, but I don't really know how to go about it, which one to adjust or level something, etc. I...

Hinges are no longer simple pins with a sleeve. Manufacturers come up with numerous utility aspects. The user should know the facilities given to him, but how? In the photo. Two holes for keys are probably described in the manufacturer's catalog. In my opinion, one key should rotate the closing cam, the other should lock it. Turning the closing cam should raise and lower the door. If you have 3 such hinges, I feel sorry for you. Maybe the supplier or developer can help. Added after 13 [minutes]: Do the shooting with the door open.

Now and always, when you do something, watch what you do. First, look at the gap between the top and bottom of the hinge as you open and close the door. This gap gets bigger as the door is lifted up. You may notice that it opens automatically as the gap decreases. One more thing, don't force it.

And what does it give? Nothing. Height adjustment does nothing. You have to remove the door and either unscrew the lower hinge by 1 turn (the one in the door frame), or screw the upper one in. Do not move the part of the hinge that is located on the door

Weigh the doorframe with a waser weight, because if it's installed incorrectly (from the vertical), you won't be able to do much. Could also be an overflow.

The cam must be set so that the door drops when closing / closing. Turning the cam will determine how many turns of the wrench per full turn of the cam. These are arguments of logical thinking, not experts in hovering.

So I understand that I have to spin and watch

This is where you should start. That is, from establishing the facts and determining what disease occurs. At the frame and door leaf. Only then does treatment begin.

as my friend Jaszto recommended, I lowered the hinged wing lower. Greater friction inhibited the self-opening process.

Hi, I need help with the following issue. Namely, one of the doors in my apartment started to open automatically when they are slightly ajar. How can I "fix" them, I read that the hinges are adjustable, but I don't really know how to go about it, which one to adjust or level something, etc. I will be grateful for any advice.

Topic summary

To address the issue of a self-opening door in an apartment, users should first assess the door's hinges and frame alignment. Adjusting the hinges is crucial; specifically, the lower hinge may need to be unscrewed or the upper hinge tightened to correct the door's position. Observing the gap between the top and bottom of the hinge while opening and closing the door can help identify the problem. If the door frame is not vertical, it may require additional adjustments. Increasing friction by lowering the hinged wing can also inhibit the self-opening behavior. Careful observation and methodical adjustments are key to resolving the issue.
