I have a door that opens to my garage. It slams way too hard. I'm
wondering what my options are for adjusting how hard it slams. A
friend had mentioned that I could adjust some screws on the hinges,
but those don't appear to be doing anything. Perhaps I'm not turning
the right ones or right direction. If you know of any other way to get
the door to slow down when closing I would appreciate any tips.
Thanks,

Jeff

Replace one of the spring hinges with a "normal" hinge?

I have the same problem and it's annoying. I get more nervous thinking
that it's bothering other people. There is a door closer that you can
install for a softer closing - I want it but it will cost. It attaches
to the door and to the top of the door frame inner side. You've
probably seen them in commercial buildings.

We installed one once at work and then it was removed
by a stinker who claimed that the majority of the neighbors
preferred to know when people were coming and going and he got the woman
in the unit next to the door to back him up. He also
imperviously advised us that he had cut the intercom wires and would do
it again if they were replaced because an intercom was unsafe.

They were not his to cut. He admitted doing so. That is a CRIME.
Get him prosecuted.

And start propping the door open and say you will keep doing so until
there is a working intercom.
