Cabinet doors hard to open

We've had our Monty for over a year yet most of the cabinet doors still require a hard yank to open. Has anyone made any adjustment to theirs to make opening them easier and if so, how?
I know they are purposely made that way to help prevent unintended opening while traveling.

Jay,

LOL, I have a couple of doors that are too easy to open, like the one over top of the refrigerator. I've tried adjusting the clips that hold them closed, but it didn't work.

Try a very small amount of silicone.

Same here as racerjoe. I squeezed the diamond shaped clip on the door a little at a time until I had the tension the way DW liked them.
