I need a solution to stop doors being slammed by teenage kids, which

Mrs dg insists that it MUST be an ironmongery solution, and not

care home.

I've looked at the pneumatic kitchen cabinet closers, but these would
not seem to fit on a normal internal door, and not be strong enough in
any case.

I've also looked at a dictator, but these seem obtrusive and need to
work with a door closer mechanism. I don't want any annoying self
closing doors

The sponge things to prevent younger children from trapping their
fingers are no good, as we need the doors to close.

Are there any anti-slam products available for lightweight internal
doors?

You bring back an old memory that my grandparents used to have a sort
of scarf tied around the lock from one knob to the other. I think I
was told it was to prevent slamming in their draughty Victorian house.
Experiment shows it does work (though I don't have a British Standard
teenager to do a proper test . The thickness of material has to be
selected according to the gap between door and frame such that it
requires a bit of force to actually close the door. Perhaps something
could be contrived with foam strip.
