Many of us have found that the pantry door has excessive 'snap' from the springs in the hinges. Following some others' advice, I removed the springs in the center hinges. The pantry door opens and closes with about 33% less force now, so that's an improvement.
The springs are encased in metal capsules that are easily removed with a flathead screwdriver. They will go flying when they're released, however, so put a towel or cloth up against them to dampen their trajectory, and keep your eyes closed or covered.
