How to Stop a Door from Swinging Shut

The most obvious way to stop a door from swinging open is to put a stop to it. However, when it comes to swinging doors, additional measures can be taken

First and foremost, the only way you want to prevent your door from swinging open is by installing proper hinges that are strong enough to keep it closed. You also want to make sure they're installed properly so they don't come loose or break under use

Another way of preventing your door from swinging open is by adding weight on its bottom side. This will help keep the door in place and prevent it from opening up too much when someone walks through it

However, if you've already added weight on your door's bottom side and nothing seems to be working, then you may want to consider installing a deadbolt lock on its top side as well. This will help ensure that no one can open up your door without first turning the knob and pushing down on the lock itself.

Swinging doors are the most common style of door. They feature hinged panels that swing open and closed. Swinging doors are available in single panels or multiple panels. The direction a door swings, either to the right or the left, is called the handing. In addition to handing, exterior doors are identified as either inswing or outswing depending on whether they open into the house or towards the outside.
