The Right Door Flies Open Once It Reaches The Half Way Point. Fixable?

I had three different service providers come out and adjust the doors, level it, they even replaced the cam inside the right door at the bottom hinge. Same problem. If you don't hold onto the right door when you open it, it crashes open and things will fall out if they are tall.
