  1. On my apartment building, someone who was bothered by the self-closing door and too lazy to move the bucket of sand (for winter ice) four feet to hold the door open while they brought in groceries decided it would be better to rip the closing arms hardware out of the door. They are the loudest, floor-stomping-est, loud music playing-est neighbors I've ever had. They also litter in the parking lot a mere fifteen paces from the dumpster. - Thank you for being present during my anger management session.

  2. I had no idea the "how hard the door is to open" was also adjustable. A very few times, I've encountered doors that took a ludicrous amount of effort to open. In one case, I had to open a door with that problem for a very old and tiny woman who was completely blocked from entry by the force to open it. - Also, I had no idea the screen/storm door pistons were adjustable! I thought the only solution was to get the heck out of the way.

  4. I can see one reason for a fast swing speed and a slow latch speed. Souffle kitchen.
