Slamming fire doors!

FeelingAggrieved · 24/09/2017 21:50

All the bedrooms in this shared house are fire doors and most of us take the extra second to ease them shut, but one person refuses to. It sounds like a gunshot, constantly slamming throughout the day and I've told them about it so many times...

Any advice? Maybe some kind of adhesive pad in the door frame? Never encountered this before.

Thanks in advance!

Screwdriver? Remove the springs
Wedge? hold them open
Locksmith? Change the locks on the front door...

do they have door closers?

the most common is the Perko type. It can be adjusted or removed. You need a carpet tack and a hammer, because the adjusting gadget has doubtless been lost.

it's possible Perko will send you a new gadget if you ask.
