added photos of behind hinge and hinge gap; added gap dimensions

put image on new line so that sentence isn't cut off (might've just been an issue with big monitors); spellcheck; extra word to fit 6+ character change limit

| Apr 20, 2022 at 16:04 | comment | added | Chris | I would as a test remove top high and move the middle hinge to the top so you only have 2 hinges and see if it still rubs and if the door still auto-close. You may be able to simply switch out the top hinge, or just swap the top/middle | |

| Apr 19, 2022 at 21:34 | comment | added | HoneyDo | Tip #3 in your question will work on spring-loaded hinges as well. This assumes the hinge has been sprung by an object being caught in the door near the hinge, thus bending the hinge plate out of shape. You first need to release the tension of the spring on the hinge and remove the retaining pin. I've then used a vise to squeeze the plates back together. | |
