As there is nowhere for the air to go it is very difficult to get these doors to shut smoothly and then in the summer when all the windows are open all the doors have a tendency to slam as they have been set to compensate for the higher pressure during the winter.

Anyone any ideas how to reduce or resolve this problem?

There are final closing devices sometimes used with pairs of doors which might help and any device separate from the closer could work too.]]>
