    You probably both need to replace the check strap, which is the thing that stops the door from opening all the way.

    Yep that's what it will be. Though when I tried to fix it the other day, something broke, now it won't stay open by itself

    door check straps need to be greased, not WD40'd
    I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape somewhere
