So your home or workspace is totally perfect: everything is neat and tidy, the rooms are calm and peaceful. There's just one problem—the loud, disruptive sound of doors slamming! If you’re tired of your doors slamming shut, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got plenty of easy and cost-effective solutions to help. Keep reading to cut door slams out of your life!
Things You Should Know
- Faulty hinges can throw off your door’s alignment and cause it to slam shut. Unscrew and replace your hinges one at a time to prevent slams.
- Cushion your door slams by cutting felt or foam and gluing pieces inside your door frame. This soft material will absorb the shock and reduce the noise.
- Place a door wedge or slide fabrics (like clothes or towels) under your door to keep it in place and stop slams altogether.
- Tie a rubber band on either side of your door knob for a cost-effective method to lessen the impact any time your door swings shut.
