Spitfire Drivers Door loose Passenger door stiff

[Gnbickley]

I'm hoping to plumb the depths of knowledge on here again with another problem with my Spitfire.

Having hopefully fixed my mechanical issues on the Spitfire I'm now looking at the doors. The drivers door opens fully and clicks as the door strap locks onto the locking pin but as soon as I let go of the door it swings shut, normally on my shins. I've fitted a new door strap as the old one had broken but this hasn't made any difference. The passenger door is exactly the opposite it's really stiff to open then stays open at any point of opening and needs quite a bit of force to close it.

Is there a way to alter how easily the door opens?

Cheers

On the shutting door I would have a look at the locking plate maks sure its intact and no remains of the old are preventing the check to lock on

As for the stiff ns  , is this hinge bind or check strap   some spray grease and oil can is sounding a plan

I'll try the spray grease on the passenger door.
