Dear NG,
Next month in N.Y.C. housing court I will finally have the opportunity
to get a correction in writing regarding a neighbors door that is been
a violation of my warrant of habitability for years. Can any of you
please recommend a course of action that would render a heavy steel
door closing into a heavy steel doorframe complete silent?? Even when
closed in a thoughtful manner its still a problem. This is my big
chance and I don't want to blow it.
Thanks in advance!!

Earplugs. Fifty cents.

Define "closed in a thoughtful manner", and describe the sound when
that is
done.

Even when not slammed shut its still makes an impact that's
disturbing. Earplugs don't help.

If this could be characterized as a vibration that you can
"feel" versus a sound that you can hear...

I suggest the closing door is causing vibrations within the
frame and/or surrounding structure. In that case, you really
need a hydraulic closer/damper, unless you want to replace
frame and surrounding structure. The closer, if properly
installed and adjusted will make it impossible to close
the door in anything other than a very gentle manner.
