I think you can see the detent device, if you take the gill body piece off. IIRC, The moving part of the hinge has an extension that contacts a spring, and that is what provides the detent. Sounds like your spring isn't there anymore.

The hinge is in full view with the little body piece in front of the door removed (WATCH the spacer pack on each bolt locations so that the body part will be aligned when you re-install it!) - as a matter of fact everyone should look in there once in awhile and grease the hinge-to-spring interface. What happens with hinges is the spring piece breaks. It is riveted on so you cannot only replace the spring piece (which actually looks like a flat piece of metal - you will understand once you look at it). Sounds like the hinges they installed are missing the springs.
