Default Any way to make a hinge MORE sticky?

Why don't you level the furniture. That will do it.

Good point. But, two things...

I really think part of the problem is the hinges are so smooth. It's not
just that the doors close, they also can swing too far open. I want them to
stay where i put them. Also, the thing is on a carpet. The carpet is not
plush, but there is a pad underneath. I'm thinking that it won't stay level.

Still, I'll check to see how far off it is now. I didn't think of that
(stupid) so I'll check.

Thanks to you and others that have answered so far.


If it's level the doors will stay where ever you put them. You may
need to put something under the front legs as the back legs are
probably on the tack strip along the carpet edge. I use small scraps
of wood such as a piece of a paint stirring stick. Once the pad
settles then it won't change.
