Interior house doors drift shut

Some of the doors inside my home won't stay open. They drift shut andI have to prop them open with a door stop. Others won't close becausethey rub the door frame and can't be pulled tightly closed.I know this probably occurs from the house settling. I had a handymancome in to fix them but all he did was whack and smash the door hingeswith his hammer. He smashed a hinge and bent up the pin on another. Ihad to stop him. I also had to go buy replacement hinges and pins.There must be a better way to fix this problem than to smash the heckout of everything. I could have done that myself. I'd like to fixboth the doors that drift shut and the ones that will not close becausethey hit the door frame. So how can I fix the doors in a way that isnot destructive? Thanks in advance for your help!
