Someone here, not long ago, posted a tid bit about doing something to improve/fix the old hinges. Wish I had bookmarked that one.
Many will comment here so hang on for a day or two. This is a common problem. Luckily I used some old hinges and mine shut fairly well but in all honesty, not near as good as they should. | | |
