My neighbours aren't bad but they do like to slam kitchen doors.

My kitchen doors are on the adjoining wall, too, so maybe they think
I'm noisy too. I was going to put some of those pads on them that
minimise some of the noise but I can't rely on them to do the same as
we're not on speaking terms.

Thinking about how kitchen doors are made, there's usually a gap at
the back of them. Could some mineral wool be behind them or how about
some rubber matting where the cabinets fix to the wall?

I'm looking for something non-invasive, as I'll most likely be selling
in the next year or so.

Thanks.

They probably just let 'em go and the self closing hinges do the
rest.

Bumper pads will help a bit but the proper pneumatic dampers are much
more effective.

Doesn't quite tally with "My neighbours aren't bad". Are you not on
speaking terms because of "bad blood" between you or because they, or
you, just like to keep themselves to themselves.

Not worth it for the minimal difference it would make. The dampers
and much cheaper and far less hassle to fit.

Yeah, we're all typically British and keep ourselves to ourselves.

One of the neighbours got everyone out clearing snow last winter and
everyone was so nice but we all soon went back to being how we all
were before.

Thanks for the advice all.
