If they rotate then it must be a tightness in either the rollers on the hinge pins themselves, just keep soakng all the bits in wd 40 and trying working it in through lots of opening closing

Or the spring is pressing too heavily? Difficult to conceive how though....

I'm going to keep trying the WD40 and the grease, but I think it is the spring pressing too heavily like you say HPsauce... something is rusty, I'm going to have to take the door off to work it out I think, it difficult to see exactly what is going on.

I had the same problem, same door.
Used some spray silicone grease per your suggestion and it has worked. Now I will have to repeat on three more doors as preventative maintenance
