Is the door now hitting/scraping anywhere on the frame?

Is the door closing as fast as it used to or does it seem to be about half speed?

Perhaps one of the springs in the spring loaded hinges has snapped and you have less tension.

If you have three hinges it will be easy to remove one at a time and check to see if it is broken.

If you only have two you may need to prop the door so you dont rip the the other hinge out of the frame causing a minor disaster.
