Default A solution to stop doors slamming/being slammed?

I need a solution to stop doors being slammed by teenage kids, which
in turn shakes the whole house.


Try a strip of draught proofing foam down the hinge side and one down the
opening side.
It will at least dull the thud.


Mrs dg insists that it MUST be an ironmongery solution, and not
related physical or surgical treatment, or sending the kids off to a
care home.


If you have kids like that then you need to look at training in being
assertive and crowd control.
Try taking one of their favourite things off them if they keep doing it if
they want to behave like five year olds treat them like five year olds.
At worst they will threaten to leave.
