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

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.

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?

I think that you need to work on Mrs dg.

It seems to be a common issue - not sure whether it's carelessness,
can't be bothered, f*ck you, ****ing against lampposts or a combination.

Unless you want to fit door closer mechanisms, which you say you don't,
and I agree with you, I never found a hardware solution in terms of the
actual doors being slammed.

What did work, and is a hardware solution, was to take the door off of
their bedrooms for a week or until the door banging stopped. Privacy
is one of the most valued things to a teenager and it did seem to work
better to address the issue rather than the symptom.
