You might want to try a magnetic door stop. The previous owner installed one on almost every door in the house. It’s especially useful on the door between the kitchen and garage, which is heavy and has a spring in the hinge. With the magnetic door stop, the door stays open until you pull the door. If Ace doesn’t have them, Amazon does. They’re about $6 ea and worth the price.
