It's only natural to slam doors when you're angry, but why risk cracked plaster, fallen pictures, and awakened babies? The Anti-slam Household Rage Control system not only prevents you from making too much noise and shaking the walls, it also makes you feel better.
When you heave a door shut with
sufficient speed, a little pad (mounted in the upper corner) swings out and inserts itself between the door and the door frame. The pad contains a bellows and special pipes, so instead of a loud BANG, all you get is a tension-relieving "cuckoo" sound.

From my days of slamming doors angrily, I wonder how you would protect the walls from fists (and vice versa) ? |

Give the walls the ability to hit back, attack being the best form of defence, etc. |

Hulk rip door off hinges to use as hammer on cuckoo device! [+] |

A + for the idea, but the title is a misnomer, as there is nothing here to control the rage, just what the rage may cause. |

This idea might just provoke far more dangerous slow-burning rage involving power tools. |

I keep reading this wrong and expecting some controversial, socio-religious rant about domestic abuse in Muslim ant farms. |

It's not, of course, but it's only one hyphen's decimal place away... |

What if "cuckoo" sounds make you really angry? |
|
|
you could slam the cuckoo's little door. |

I had to vote - because the slam is what it is all about for me. Falling plaster is just the icing on the cake. so to speak. |

Like a lot of [AO]'s ideas, this is brilliantly simple and useful. |
|
|
A whoopie cushion sound would deflate that grand exit pretty well, too. |
|
|
Door airbags perhaps? They have a very cathartic (but harmless) explosion effect. One time use only though. Although in situations such as those, I'd recommend a stop at your local Arrgh!'s affiliate, failing that the aromatherapist. |
