[...] You don't have a door problem, you have a behavior problem.

Well, yes, I know that this problem is a people-behavior problem, not door-behavior problem! But people, being what they are, have to be motivated to change in order to "repair" (as it were) their behavior. On the other hand, a behavior problem can be occasionally _managed_ effectively with the application of some form of technology (provided the people involved aren't so overly uncooperative as to actively sabotage it, that is, of course). Hence my motivation for resurrecting this thread.


Once again, I'm looking for any advice or information to assist me (as a mere consumer) in obtaining, either a "door check" device (as shown at

or an OEM door product incorporating same. Thanks.

any large home-improvement store, or _good_ hardware store -- that carries replacement parts for 'screen doors' should have such devices.

Also, google for 'hydraulic door closer'.

As has been suggested, a closer for a screen door or storm door may do the trick. If you need something more substantial check with a metal door company. They have all kinds of funky door stuff for use on commercial buildings.
