Try removing the center hinge. See if the door closes. If so the hinges need to be set into the jam or the door deeper. Adjust and re-install them. Check to see if your door has a bevel, is the bevel backwards? GL.

How do you install double action spring hinges?

A double action hinge is really no different that a regular one. Simply place where desired, mortise them in and install. If it is confusing, look at it as if it was only opening one way at a time. One direction it uses the outside part of the hinge and for the other direction it uses the inside part. As long as you install each hinge on the same edge or in the same direction they work the same as a regular hinge. You are limited as to the thickness of the door you are using and there can not be any door stop as the door must swing both ways. But there is a floor mounted double acting hinge that does require a little bit of preparation before installing: http://floorhinge.doorlocksanddeadbolts.com/

Double action hinges?

Double action hinges are used to allow a door to open in both directions like the old saloon doors of the wild west days. You will also see this type hinge on the doors leading into kitchens in restaurants so that the wait staff can go through it in either direction because they always have their hands full and need that type of door to make their job easier.
