How to prevent doors from slamming?

Problem

Door slams shut – a frequent problem in many buildings

Slamming doors can be startling and, if it happens frequently, it quickly becomes very annoying.

Moreover, slamming doors also cause a strain on the door, the frame and the hinges. The most common reason for a slamming door is a heavy-handed user who exerts more force than necessary to close it.

Also, if a window in the room or a door elsewhere in the house is open, pressure changes could be to blame. As air moves from areas with a difference in pressure, the change can cause enough air movement to slam the door.
