This need not be fully open, nor fully closed
The natural position will depend on many things:
The geometry, set up by the skill of the craftsman
When the door was hung, and balanced upon its hinges
The forces at play, perhaps a draught through a nearby passage
A rug, or carpet, or loose flooring that creates friction at the underside
The weight, and the fortitude of the door, which brings its own resilience
Enables its own inherent ability to stay put where it determines to stay put
If we wish to have the door fully open, or fully closed
We may have to employ additional methods or mechanisms:
A jam to wedge beneath, probably with a gripping and kicking routine
Or a weighty stop, a cast iron relic, that is given to lazily lay in a leaning posture
A catch to catch upon a hook, or a latch with a push or a slam to assist the location
Maybe also with a key-lock, or bolt, which raises security, to a purposeful higher plane
