Dear NG,
Next month in N.Y.C. housing court I will finally have the opportunity
to get a correction in writing regarding a neighbors door that is been
a violation of my warrant of habitability for years. Can any of you
please recommend a course of action that would render a heavy steel
door closing into a heavy steel doorframe complete silent?? Even when
closed in a thoughtful manner its still a problem. This is my big
chance and I don't want to blow it.
Thanks in advance!!

Define "closed in a thoughtful manner", and describe the sound when that is
done.

Good doors have a gasket that prevents the metal to metal contact.

Define "closed in a thoughtful manner", and describe the sound when
that is
done.

Even when not slammed shut its still makes an impact that's
disturbing. Earplugs don't help.
