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

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

There are door closers that also hold doors in the open position and only
self-close after the door has been moved away from the fully open
position. Look for an architectural ironmonger, who will be able to advise
you exactly what is available.
