SOS, somebody help me please, I need your advise about “evil door”. I live in apartment on the second floor above the side entrance and entrance to the basement, which has laundry inside. The problem is the doors that slam so hard that I can fill vibrating walls and loud annoying noise. It is really TERRIBLE. The doors are metals and very heavy. They should be always locked because the building located in the busiest area of Queens, New York. Somebody, please help me!!!!!! I need your advice how I can bring the doors in normal conditions. By the way, the super of the building is not able to fix, even he tried so many times. The landlord will take a lifetime to take care of it. In other words, WELCOME TO NEW YORK. Lovely handy men, please give me a hint or at least some suggestions that will bring peace in my life. Anna.
Please write me to annabond28@yahoo.com. THANK YOU A LOT.

Had this very problem with a building.
We solved the problem with a door closer.
This does a number of things. It tempers the closing of the door in other words it controls it and makes sure the door does close for security.

Hello Anna, a good quality door closer installed properly should completely close the door and with the proper lock set should automatically lock the door.
The door itself must be a good door as well, preferrably solid, with strong hinges and a properly working lock set and handle. All of these things work in harmony and if one is not right, the unit will not work properly.
It’s like a race car. If everything is working and in harmony, you win races.
Hope this helps.
