I had an extended warranty that covered a full replacement of the entire door assembly (door and frame). The new door assembly also had the "friction hinge" but it was not nearly as tight.

I've recently read another post on this forum where someone was able to order a new set of hinges. You might be successful with a search for entry door hinge.
That never occurred to me but makes total sense.
