What's the proper name for...?

[Abertech]

The little pads you can get for sticking on cupboard e.g. kitchen doors so that they don't make as much noise when slamming shut?

You sometimes see them in the little catalogues full of knick knacks that get pushed through you door.

Do these things even have a 'proper' name?

What, a proper name like 'Malcolm' or something? Seems unlikely. I always think of them as 'snorgelberglingthingies'

Thanks for the replies. I have a much better idea of what to ask for now.
