How to Stop a Door from Slamming: Simple Tips and Effective Solutions

Doors slamming shut can be more than just an annoyance—it can cause damage to the door frame, disturb the peace in your home, and potentially be a safety hazard. Whether it’s due to a draft, improper alignment, or someone accidentally closing it too hard, there are simple and effective ways to prevent doors from slamming. Below, we’ll explore various methods that will help you keep doors from slamming shut without sacrificing convenience or safety.

1. Install a Door Closer

A door closer is a mechanical device that allows a door to close slowly and securely. These are commonly found in public buildings but can easily be installed at home.

How It Works:

The door closer uses hydraulic or pneumatic technology to control the speed at which a door closes.

It ensures that the door shuts softly without any slamming.

Installation Tips:

Choose a door closer appropriate for the weight and size of your door.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation, which usually involves attaching the closer to the top of the door and door frame.

2. Use Bumpers or Cushions

Door bumpers or cushions are simple solutions that can easily reduce the impact of a door hitting the frame hard.

How It Works:

These small foam or rubber attachments soften the blow when the door hits the frame.

They are inexpensive and easy to apply.

Installation Tips:

Stick adhesive bumpers to the door frame where the door makes contact.

For larger gaps or stronger drafts, consider using thicker or more cushioned bumpers.

3. Install Soft-Close Hinges

Soft-close hinges are another effective solution to stop doors from slamming. These hinges use built-in dampers to slow the door down as it approaches the closed position.

How It Works:

The hinge includes a mechanism that slows the door down during the last few inches of closing.

The door closes gently without any forceful contact with the frame.

Installation Tips:

Purchase hinges that match the size and type of door you have.

Replacing existing hinges with soft-close ones is a simple task that requires only basic tools.

4. Adjust the Door Alignment

Sometimes, a door slams due to poor alignment, causing it to swing shut faster than it should.

How It Works:

Misaligned doors may lean or swing too freely, especially if there’s a draft or air pressure imbalance.

Fixing the alignment can solve the issue without needing extra accessories.

Steps to Fix:

Tighten the screws on the hinges to ensure the door is straight.

If the door rubs against the frame, sand or plane down the problem areas to reduce friction.

Ensure the door latch is aligned properly with the strike plate to avoid bouncing back.

5. Use a Draft Stopper

If the slamming is caused by air pressure or drafts, a draft stopper could be the solution.

How It Works:

Draft stoppers block air from entering or exiting the room under the door, reducing the impact of sudden drafts.

They are often made of foam, fabric, or rubber and can be easily applied or removed.

Installation Tips:

Measure the width of the door to ensure the draft stopper fits correctly.

Use adhesive draft stoppers that attach to the bottom of the door, or place a weighted fabric draft stopper on the floor.

6. Rubber Door Silencers

Rubber door silencers are small pieces of rubber installed in the door frame to absorb the shock of a slamming door.

How It Works:

These rubber pads act as shock absorbers, softening the force of the door as it closes.

They are almost invisible when installed and provide a low-cost solution to door slamming.

Installation Tips:

Install the silencers along the vertical edge of the door frame.

Typically, you’ll need about two or three per door, depending on its size.

7. Consider Automatic Door Stoppers

Automatic door stoppers are more sophisticated options that will automatically hold a door open or close it gently when necessary.

How It Works:

They prevent the door from closing forcefully by catching it and gradually releasing it to close softly.

These are particularly useful for heavier doors or homes with children and pets.

Installation Tips:

Automatic door stoppers are available in both manual and battery-operated varieties.

Follow instructions carefully to ensure proper installation and functionality.

8. Teach Proper Door-Closing Etiquette

Sometimes the simplest solution is communication. If the door slamming issue is caused by household members, take time to remind everyone to be mindful when closing doors.

How It Helps:

Encouraging family members to close doors gently can prevent unnecessary slamming.

It also promotes a more peaceful and respectful household environment.

Final Thoughts

Preventing a door from slamming doesn’t require major renovations or expensive tools. Many simple solutions, like door silencers, draft stoppers, and soft-close hinges, can make a big difference. Whether you’re dealing with a gusty draft or just want to protect your doors from wear and tear, these methods will help you solve the problem. Choose the method that best suits your needs, and enjoy a quieter, safer home!

Project Compass 27

Read along on AO3 Here

<< Previous Chapter << >> Next Chapter >>

This time: Ar’alani, Mitth’raw’nuruodo, and Eli’van’to finally have the talk.

Next time: Ivant and Thrawn seek out an old ally.

Ar’alani was furious. One look at Thrawn and she knew that he’d known. His eyes were wide and his focus was off, as though he’d just been given knowledge that was too much to process. His usual clarity had been replaced by an obvious haze. It had been a possibility, even more now that she had promoted him to be her second in command. Among her staff, only Senior Captain Kresh knew somewhat of Project Compass’s objectives, but she’d sent him away to bring her key players closer. Kresh understood that Ivant’s project was far superior to his pride.

The admiral allowed his floundering to carry on for the rest of the shift, only expressing her disdain for his unusually sloppy behavior with sharp commands to set him back on track and several sighs between impressive eye rolls. The rest of her bridge crew were too busy being concerned with her mood to notice that the captain was consumed by his thoughts, and only when there was less than an hour to go in the shift did she vacate the bridge with a sharp order for Thrawn to seek her out the moment he completed his own duties.

Then, when the hydraulics of the aft doors closed behind her, she raised Captain Ivant on comms. Vehemently, she hissed, “If you are not in my office by the time I arrive-”

“I’m already waiting for you, ma’am,” Ivant cut in, apologetic and polite - or at least as polite as one could be, interrupting their furious commanding officer. “I know,” He added, softer.

She didn’t bother replying, stalking through the hallways of her ship like a predator who’d scented a wounded animal. It took only a few minutes to reach her office from the bridge. She swept past Ivant as she entered, ignoring his rise to attention and salute, the fist clenched over his heart. She did not tell him to sit. “You will tell me everything,” She growled. “You. Will. Not. Lie.”

“Yes, admiral,” Ivant said, determination flavoring his tone.

So it was to be like that, she thought to herself. Ivant would go on the defensive, insisting that he had good reason to go against her. She didn’t doubt that he understood the situation, that he would inform Thrawn of their secrets so lightly, but she also knew he was loyal to Thrawn, to a fault. He saw the best in him - like she did - but at times (most times, she thought, though she’d tried to help him see reason over his devotion) to a far more blinding degree. She didn’t enjoy keeping Thrawn out of the loop, of course. It was a handicap she didn’t enjoy. Thrawn’s reasoning skills, his ability to see what others did not, was help they could use. However, Ar’alani was not willing to risk telling secrets to anyone who would likely end up in enemy hands, who was a prize so clearly coveted. It was not personal.

The slightest roll of her desk chair was silent, the tension in the room thick as she positioned herself comfortably, one leg crossed over the other, shoulders pulled back, posture coiled like a serpent waiting to strike. She watched him evaluate her, assess her emotions. Good, she thought, watching him swallow, noticing the slightest heak peeking out beneath from his high-collared tunic. He should be worried. Any other admiral would have him detained without hearing him out. She could tell he knew.

“You told Mitth’raw’nuruodo,” She accused.

“Yes,” He agreed, meeting her gaze head on. He did not defend himself further.

“Yes?” Her tone escalated sharply, mezzo-alto to soprano, like the opening notes of a furious symphony. “Tell me, Eli’van’to, why I am not reaching across this desk to beat you senseless. It is becoming a more enticing possibility by the second.” She clenched her fists, then folded them across the desk in front of her.

“Vah’nya and Un’hee had already begun telling him the nature of our work,” He began slowly, choosing his words with the care indicative of his fragile position. “Un’hee coerced Thrawn into speaking with her privately. Vah’nya caught them, and pulled them aside. She believed to control what information Un’hee was about to leak, since she did not believe Mitth’raw’nurodo would let it go without a fight.”

It was probable, however, “Did you conspire with either Navigator?”

“No,” Eli said, and at Ar’alani’s frightening glower, the way her eyes glowed with the promise of retribution for lying to her, he added, “Not that the thought didn’t cross my mind, but I would like to think I have some honor and I don’t particularly enjoy manipulating innocent Navigators to play military politics, whether they’re willing to or not.”

Admiral Ar’alani’s focus remained pointed, like a blade, sharp on his face. He did not flush further, there was no tic to indicate that he’d been lying. Eli’van’to had learned a long time ago not to lie, especially not to a Chiss if at all possible, and most importantly never to lie to her. It struck her that he didn’t typically lie at all, not even in the beginning, which was likely more of an ingrained character trait than anything Thrawn could have taught. Thrawn was a master at deception and half-truths, and that, Ar’alani had always believed, was because he’d been capable of deceiving even himself on some level. It would have been a useful skill with the Aristocra and the Admiralty had her not been so inept at the art of politics. Sometimes she wondered how far the Empire’s ruler had dangled him on precarious puppet strings before he realized he’d been made into a pawn. Other times she wondered if he knew and simply valued himself so little in regards to what he believed would benefit the greater good.

If there was one trait both her captains shared, it was extreme understatement of their value to the Ascendancy as the fundamental beings they were.

She sighed and waved her hand, her anger cresting like a wave reaching shore and rolling back within the greater sea. “Sit, Ivant,” She ordered, sighing.

He nodded and did so, waiting for her to continue. She did, though not without rubbing her temples first. “You sought to control things as Vah’nya did,” She supposed. “Were you successful?”

“They told him there’s no antidote, and how he survived the incident back on the Compass. I rather thought that was enough.”

“Obviously. He floundered through the rest of his shift as if concussed. Did he see how it works?”

“No. You know the girls, they’re not for needless violence, though Thrawn did ask.”

“I am not surprised,” She said. “Though I am quite concerned that Vah’nya agreed.”

“So am I,” Ivant nodded, crossing his arms as he leaned back, collecting his thoughts. “She believed that the semantics of how Thrawn learned - being told before he could discover it for himself - would change things.”

“Yes, she’d said as much to me,” Ar’alani hummed. “But do you believe it?”

“They do,” He said, but conceded, “I don’t know what to think. Vah’nya definitely wasn’t keen on telling him more than what Un’hee knows, which, thankfully, isn’t all that much.”

The admiral pursed her lips, considering. “Would you tell him the rest?”

“Our research, yes. The other part,” Eli shook his head. “Not yet. That doesn’t leave the three of us.”

“Good,” She interrupted, stroking her chin thoughtfully. “We are on the same page then.”

Ivant wasn’t able to contain his look of surprise. “Really? You want to reveal our research? I thought-”

Ar’alani rose from her desk, the captain following her with a subtle turn of his head as she procured liquor and glasses - three glasses, Eli noted - from the auspiciously located cabinet near her memory wall. “I do not enjoy keeping secrets, though I suspect you have always assumed otherwise.”

“It’s part of command, ma’am,” He offered tentatively. “I understand the necessity.”

“Yes,” She agreed, “But we both have larger aspirations. If Un’hee and Vah’nya trust him with their most precious secrets - in spite of my wishes - I must take that into account and adapt. It is a new dawn in the Ascendancy. It must be. I must trust them, as I trust you, and as I hope you have come to trust me.”

“I do, Admiral.” He paused, then revised, “Ar’alani.”

She nodded. “Very good, Ivant.”

Thrawn found himself confronted with the last thing he had been expecting to see when he arrived for his post shift-report: Eli, sitting across from Ar’alani, the ornate decanter set in the middle of the desk, liquor of varying levels in each of their glasses as they conversed quietly.

“I’ll spare you the tedium,” She said, gesturing to the vacant seat to Eli’s left. “You are off duty. Sit.” She nodded to Eli, who pulled the stopper from the top of the decanter and poured a healthy glass of liquor - too much for Chiss standards - into a third glass Thrawn hadn’t been able to see.

Still recovering, Thrawn said with confusion shadowing his features, “This isn’t necessary, I-”

“Sit,” Ar’alani ordered. “I happen to know you like this particular infusion, and after the day you’ve had, you obviously need something a bit more bracing than the Navigator’s wintermint tea.”

Thrawn looked between both of them, mind already at work. “You told her what the Navigators and I discussed,” He said to Eli.

Ivant’s eyebrows rose, almost as if questioning Thrawn’s reason to believe he wouldn’t have told the Admiral.

“Navigator Vah’nya insinuated you had autonomy.”

“He does,” Ar’alani answered, then desisted as her answering for the human in their midst only suggested otherwise.

Said human took a slow pull from his drink. “Still, it’s a matter of trust. You gave it away before I could tell her, though, which is part of why you’re here.”

“I will admit that this is a bit of a surprise.”

“Yes,” Ar’alani admitted. “You sent him here to identify Navigators within our midst,” Her lips curled in the beginnings of a smile. “You should know he’s entirely failed at realizing that objective.”

His eyes caught Eli’s glass, inclined in her direction in a sarcastic toast.

Instead of a rebuke, her smile warmed. That was arguably more startling than Eli’s improper gesture in the wake of their commanding officer. “What he has contributed is far more valuable,” She said. “It sounds fantastical, doesn’t it?”

“Navigators who can heal,” Thrawn said, after a very tiny sip of his drink. His voice was quiet, awed, almost hoarse. “Because of a desire to protect.”

Ar’alani’s curved lips took on a true smile, then. Though severe, there was a kindness, a warmth behind her eyes that her smile seemed to brighten, like kindling catching fire. “Yes. A concept that I did not understand until it was shown to me.”

“You’ve seen their abilities at work?” Thrawn asked her.

“In extremes? Twice. Most recently when Un’hee stepped in to save your life,” She began. “The first… it was a little more than two years ago now,” She informed him, her eyes flickering to Ivant before settling back on Thrawn. “On Copero.”

“Vah’nya didn’t elaborate with Un’hee in the room,” Eli said as he knocked back the rest of his drink. He hadn’t had it on the desk before Ar’alani had lifted the decanter to refill his glass. They shared a glance. “Good times,” He said softly.

“That was anything but. You,” She gestured to Ivant, “Were lost. We were waiting for your heart to stop.” She didn’t comment on Thrawn lifting his drink to his lips, nor how it remained poised in front of what must have been one hell of a frown if the furious, unmasked concern his eyes was any indication. She blinked slowly, pulling up the memory in her mind’s eye. “And Vah’nya had all but been pronounced clinically insane.”

For Thrawn’s benefit, Eli cut in. “The Grysks tortured us for months. We managed to escape, but there was a price for doing so,” He said, without further explanation. “I wasn’t conscious when the Steadfast found us. Separating her from me wasn’t-” He shrugged. “Judging by the way Un’hee clung to you after she’d helped you, I believe it’s a psychosomatic side effect. It’d be like leaving someone vulnerable without adequate guards posted to protect them.” He swallowed a little more of his drink and set the glass on Ar’alani’s desk. “But I wasn’t able to tell them, and Vah’nya was conscious and traumatized. Without seeing it, it’s not easy to believe, but it isn’t something to be done lightly.”

“It does not seem to hurt them, though it does take a great deal of energy,” Ar’alani explained.

Thrawn looked between them, then settled his gaze on Eli. “You said there was a price for your escape,” He trailed off, expectantly.

“A bomb on one of the inner hatches. I never would have deactivated it in time, and it would have killed Vah’nya, so,” He didn’t go on about his injuries. “I knew about her abilities, they were the only reason I’d lived as long as I had. She couldn’t heal me completely, mind you, but she’s a smart woman. She’d pulled me back from the brink more times than I could count. She thought it was selfish,” He admitted, gazing at something unseen at a distance, “But I didn’t want to die any more than she wanted to be left alone.”

“Anyway,” Ar’alani interrupted, when her human captain said no more, her voice soft and far-away, “I had allowed Vah’nya to see him, against my better judgement.” She smiled softly. “She’d been non-verbal for days, but when I led her into his room, she sat at the edge of his bed, took his hand in hers and, well,” Ar’alani shrugged. “It was like the mediation the Jedi-boy is so fond of,” She said, “It was strange, seeing her in a trance like that, even as the damage done to him seemed to melt away.”

“I came to the next morning,” Eli took over, jolting Thrawn from his thoughts. “Now, we think that the time away was probably for the best. Vah’nya would have exhausted herself to the point of self-harm to heal me. She had been, for a long while.”

Thrawn looked at the glass in his hands, his fingers woven tightly around it. “Was Un’hee harmed treating my affliction?” He asked carefully.

“We watched over her,” Ar’alani said. “Both of us. She was tired, but not harmed.”

“Without being injured, the girls are stronger than we give them credit for. There are more factors than physical strength at play. Force of will, compassion, a lot of it plays into things,” Ivant told him. “There’s more though.”

Ar’alani nodded. “You failed to predict navigators as we’d hoped you would,” She began, her gaze sharply focused on Eli. “But you did tell us how to keep them.”

“Keep them?”

Ar’alani pulled a holopad from her desk, passed through several layers of encryption, and toggled a key to project data in front of them. “This data is pulled from key Navigators. We cannot provide funding for mysticism - even if we can prove its existence - without providing some kind of data, something to indicate we can replicate what we’ve achieved, even if it’s improbable.”

“You’ve found a way to identify which Navigators are more likely to present with this ability?” Thrawn frowned. “Why now? Surely if this ability were possible we would have-”

Ar’alani pointed to Ivant.

“No. The Navigators are the ones responsible,” He said. “Not me.”

“Yes, you,” She said. “You are the reason Vah’nya was strong enough to subject herself to the Grysks. Your courage inspired her to be brave. Your compassion and sacrifice lit a fire within her. And Un’hee,” She shook her head. “That girl believes you to be the guardian she so desperately desires. You protect and encourage her. You teach her to convert her weaknesses into strengths, where we would have told her to cover them up and move beyond them.”

Sensing his obvious discomfort, Ar’alani addressed Thrawn. “The Ascendancy owes you a great debt, Mitth’raw’nuruodo. You sent us an ally that may very well save our people from the crippling darkness that threatens to consume us from within.”

“By healing them?”

“Look at the data, Thrawn,” Ar’alani gestured to the projection between them.

Bright red eyes scanned through the orange and blue data, the numbers that peaked and stayed, the indicator marks. “Exposure to Navigators who have come into this ability will allow them to more easily attain the levels necessary to manifest it themselves,” Thrawn observed.

“Correct,” Eli seemed to adopt a teaching tone. “What else?”

“It is linked to emotional maturity. How they process their emotions. The ones with higher emotional output, in terms of neural activity indicated here, are more likely to be good candidates.” Thrawn said.

“They are,” He agreed. “We have many candidates identified. The younger ones will be easier to work with, but it would be foolish to discredit older Navigators who are more self aware.”

Ar’alani toggled another chart on her pad. “And this, Mitth’raw’nuruodo. Tell me what you see.”

“These two are higher than the rest,” He began. “Navigators Un’hee and Vah’nya?” He questioned, to which the admiral nodded. “You did not collect as much neural data before this happened.” He indicated a peak, before a plateau in the far longer line that indicated Vah’nya’s brain activity. “This was after her time with the Grysks,” He said, standing as if the projection were tangible. He followed the line. “It had been steadily diminishing,” He reasoned, “But ceased after she’d-” Thrawn whirled around to face Eli as the hand he’d had outstretched flew back to cover his mouth.

Eli smiled, and this time it was unrestrained, genuine.

“We do not have all the data yet from Un’hee, but as you can see, her levels have begun to even out at a level far exceeding Vah’nya’s, even before she managed to save your life,” Ar’alani said, though it could have fallen on deaf ears for how little Thrawn reacted to her words. She sighed, exasperated. Neither man seemed to pay attention to another slow, deliberate roll of her eyes. “Ivant, tell him before he keels over. I believe he wishes to hear it from you.”

Thrawn swallowed, his hand falling away from his face. His expression was serious. “I do,” He said intently, inflection heavy with some mix between seriousness and formality. “I want you to tell me what you have discovered, Eli’van’to.”

“The data suggests,” Eli said, standing to face his fellow captain and indicating the relevant points on the graph from memory, “That the Navigators who are capable of healing will not lose their Sight.”

“Never?” Thrawn asked in that same odd tone.

“That is my belief. Vah’nya and Un’hee say it is something intrinsic that they can tell, in the way they have visions and feel things differently than we do. The data supports that theory.”

“Welcome to Project Compass, Mitth'raw'nuruodo,” Ar’alani said. “I trust what we’ve discussed will remain in the highest confidences, and will not be discussed with your aide.” She inclined her head. “You may go now,” She said dismissively, though there was a spark in her eye as she looked between them. “Both of you.”

They both turned to her, stiffening to attention before stepping back out into the officer’s corridor. Thrawn’s face had gone blank, and so Eli looked up at him in concern. “You okay?” He asked carefully. “I know that was a lot.”

“Mm,” Thrawn hummed. They walked together, side by side. “What Ar’alani said, about you being the catalyst-”

“She’s over exaggerating,” Eli interrupted. “As I have been telling her for some time now, I simply hope I can give them the tools to succeed. Nothing more.”

“On the contrary,” Thrawn said, hand wrapping around Eli’s wrist to stop him from continuing on. He waited until Eli had turned and was looking up at him. Even then, he didn’t pull away. “I believe her,” He said. He searched Eli’s eyes, reveling in how unguarded he was, how natural his confidence presented itself. “I underestimated you. I believed I knew your potential, but I was wrong. You are so much more.” He put his unoccupied hand on Eli’s cheek, his fingertips just barely grazing the soft, rich brown hair at Eli’s temples.

A smaller, darker hand covered the one pressed to Eli’s face as they drew closer together. “You’re saying that because of what I’ve done,” He said softly. “It’s what anyone would have.”

“Not anyone.” His gaze grew more intense, flicked down towards Eli’s lips and back, and couldn’t help meeting the other man’s gentle smile with one to match as he drove the point home. “Only you.”

“Thrawn, I-”

“There you are!” Both Thrawn and Eli flinched back as Ezra approached from behind Thrawn. Eli couldn’t help the small, bashful smirk as Thrawn’s forehead wrinkled in displeasure. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you. You just kinda left me and I need to know-”

“I will meet you in my quarters shortly. It’s been keyed to recognize biometrics,” Thrawn said, waving him off without even turning to face the Jedi. “Do you not need to meditate?”

“Meditate?” Ezra cocked his head. “No, I’m fine, wh- oh. Karabast,” He swore.

Eli smirked, more amused than upset. “I have some things to take care of myself,” He said, “You know,” He stepped back from Thrawn, their fingertips catching as he pulled away from the hand wrapped around his wrist. He wove their fingers together and squeezed gently before pulling away, “We’ll talk soon, okay?”

Thrawn’s eyes fluttered closed as he accepted the temporary defeat. “I will hold you to that, Ivant.”

He leaned forward and whispered in sun-warmed Sy Bisti, “I like it better when you call me Eli, Captain,” Before spinning on his heel and heading off, leaving Thrawn to stare after him.

“Yeah,” Ezra drawled from behind him, now very much aware of his intrusion. “So…”

Thrawn whirled around and gave him a sinister look.

“I am so sorry,” He said, as Thrawn moved past him. “Though,” He tried to catch up with the far taller man’s strides, “To be fair, if you were about to kiss him, you probably should have picked a less open space. In fact,” He tried, though there was not a chance in hell it would help things, “You could say it’s probably for the best that I interrupted…”

Hydraulic Cylinders For Car Safety and Comfortable Riding

The hydraulic cylinders are known for the great power delivered by them. The enormous power that can be obtained with the help of the here cylinders have made them integral parts of all kinds of heavy equipments and heavy vehicles such as the bulldozers, forklifts, excavators etc . Unlike the olden days when the hydraulic cylinder were only used in applications like heavy equipments and manufacturing industries, today, they have found their place in conventional domestic applications such as the regular automotive parts, door stoppers, elevators etc. In fact the implementation of the concept of hydraulic cylinder in domestic applications has added great convenience and safety to our lives. When it comes to hydraulic cylinder applications in domestic applications, the conventional car parts are the best examples.

Hydraulic Brakes For Extra Safety

The hydraulic brakes present in the conventional cars are excellent examples for the application of hydraulic cylinder for domestic purposes. The hydraulic brakes work on the principle of piston driven hydraulic cylinder. The main advantage of the hydraulic brakes is that they multiply the force applied to the brake pedal which results in very efficient braking. Though there are some critics which claim that the hydraulic brakes have the risk of oil leak, the modern technologies have found a solution to eliminate the problem. Instead of using one piston driven slave cylinder, today's modern cars make use of two slave cylinders. As a result, even if one of the hydraulic cylinders that controls the brake fails, the other one will work. The ensures double safety in the modern cars.

The Hydraulic Suspension For Extra Comfort

Car modification is a hobby for many people. For some others it is just adding extra comfort. In both cases the hydraulic suspension is one of the great additions to look for. You will be well aware of the fact that only a few domestic vehicles such as the SUVs will be equipped with the hydraulic suspension from the factory. The main advantage of the hydraulic suspension is that it provides individual damping for all the four wheels and thereby offering great comfort even on the most rugged terrains. To the added advantage all the four hydraulic suspensions can be controlled individuality with the flick of a button. There is nothing to worry if your car is not pre equipped with hydraulic suspension. There are universal hydraulic suspension kits that can be attached to any car.

Apart from the above mentioned parts, there are many other car parts where the hydraulic cylinders are used. Without doubt the hydraulic cylinders have added great safety and comfort to our lives.

I just saw something on Facebook about recycling fire hoses to make stoppers for the hydraulic things on classroom doors in the event of an active shooter, and I'm like...that seems like a potential fire code violation, and when I was in school, and my teachers always kept the outside of their doors locked anyhow, so you could leave but you couldn't get back in, if they were keeping their doors closed. On days when their doors were open, the doors were still locked and got closed when, you know, classrooms were unattended. Just keep your doors locked? Is this not a common function of classroom door locks? It really should be. It's a lot safer, I think, than barricading push-bar doors and then today is the day something catches fire while there's an active shooter. Or worse: active arsonist-shooter. Or any number of other things go wrong and something that can only be manipulated on one side of the door is in place and people in the room need help.

The irony of people dying in a fire because they barricaded their push-bar fire doors or something with a fire hose is not something I want to hear about, you dig?

How to Stop a Door from Slamming: A Comprehensive Guide

Few things are more annoying than a door that slams shut with a loud bang. Whether it’s due to a gust of wind, the natural swing of the door, or simply heavy-handedness, slamming doors can be disruptive and even cause damage over time. Fortunately, there are several effective solutions to prevent a door from slamming. Here’s how you can keep your doors from making such a racket.

1. Install a Door Closer

Automatic Door Closer: Installing an automatic door closer can ensure that your door shuts slowly and quietly every time. These devices use hydraulic mechanisms to control the speed at which a door closes, preventing it from slamming.

Installation Steps:

Choose the right door closer: Ensure it’s compatible with your door’s weight and type.

Position the closer: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to mount the closer on the door and the frame.

Adjust the tension: Use the provided tools to adjust the tension and closing speed to your preference.

2. Use Soft Close Hinges

Soft Close Hinges: Replacing your standard hinges with soft close hinges is another effective way to prevent slamming. These hinges have a built-in damper that slows the door down before it closes completely.

Installation Steps:

Remove the existing hinges: Unscrew the old hinges from the door and frame.

Install the soft close hinges: Align the new hinges in the same position and screw them into place.

Test the door: Open and close the door to ensure the hinges are working correctly.

3. Apply Door Bumpers or Silencers

Door Bumpers/Silencers: These small, cushion-like devices can be attached to the door frame or the door itself to soften the impact when the door closes. They are an inexpensive and easy solution.

Installation Steps:

Clean the area: Ensure the area where you’ll apply the bumpers is clean and dry.

Attach the bumpers: Peel off the adhesive backing and press the bumpers firmly onto the door frame or the door.

Test the door: Close the door gently to check the effectiveness of the bumpers.

4. Install a Door Stopper

Rubber Door Stoppers: Door stoppers can prevent the door from slamming by controlling its swing. You can use a rubber door wedge or a magnetic door stopper that holds the door open.

Installation Steps:

Position the stopper: Place the rubber stopper under the door or mount the magnetic stopper according to the instructions.

Secure the stopper: Ensure it’s firmly in place to prevent the door from moving excessively.

5. Adjust the Door Latch and Strike Plate

Door Latch/Strike Plate Adjustment: Sometimes, a misaligned latch or strike plate can cause a door to slam. Adjusting these components can help the door close more smoothly.

Adjustment Steps:

Inspect the alignment: Check if the latch and strike plate align properly.

Adjust as needed: If they don’t align, loosen the screws and adjust the position of the strike plate.

Tighten the screws: Once aligned, tighten the screws to secure the strike plate in place.

6. Use Weather Stripping

Weather Stripping: Adding weather stripping around the door frame can cushion the door and reduce noise. This not only prevents slamming but also improves insulation.

Installation Steps:

Measure the door frame: Measure the length of the door frame where you’ll apply the stripping.

Cut the weather stripping: Cut the stripping to the appropriate length.

Apply the stripping: Peel off the adhesive backing and press the stripping firmly along the door frame.

Conclusion

Preventing a door from slamming is not only about reducing noise but also about maintaining the longevity of your doors and frames. Whether you opt for a high-tech solution like an automatic door closer or a simple fix like door bumpers, there are plenty of ways to keep your doors quiet and damage-free. Implementing one or more of these solutions will ensure peace and quiet in your home or office.

Electric door opener

Electric door openers are also called automatic door opener releases, electric releases, etc. It is a mechanism that realizes the automatic closing of the door leaf through electric control. Electric door openers are different from hydraulic fire door openers. They combine the functions of an electromagnetic release and non-positioning door openers into one. There are solenoid valves and strong springs inside. The springs are compressed when the door is pushed and locked by the solenoid valves to keep the door normally open. When power is supplied, the solenoid valve is released and closed by the rebound impact of the spring, without buffer function. It was first applied to normally open fire doors. Later, due to the fire department's belief that power transmission and closing doors did not comply with fire protection regulations, they were not promoted and applied in the fire door market. Hydraulic automatic door openers are still used in the fire door market. But as far as the electric door opener itself is concerned, it doesn't make much sense. The electric door opener is suitable for the normally open fire door, and its function is to make the fire door normally open. Combining the effects of electromagnetic door stoppers and door openers, but the price has also doubled. When the public chooses normally open fire doors, it is better to use door openers and electromagnetic doors for economic effects, which saves more than electric door openers.
