    Just re-fitted the automatic (concealed) door closers on our fire doors some 6 years after we got rid of the cat that prompted their removal.

    It makes quite a noise when the door slams though. Can you get some kind of damping? Or is it just a case of reducing spring tension? Is it possible on all of them or just some?

    overhead door closers have more of a damping latch action

    some one must do a shock absorber type thing which stops it slamming…

    Kitchen cupboard door buffers work reasonably well.
