Can't say I've minded it from a neighbor, but my daughter is a slammer, and it drives me crazy. I'm constantly on her about slamming stuff. Mostly because I'm the guy who has to fix everything. A little lube on the trailer door latch goes a long way to an easy close. You will have to re-educate on a regular basis, though. I can pull the trailer door shut with two fingers from 2" away and still she slams. I've gotten a little freaky on her several times, just makes me crazy the disreguard for wear and tear. I have enough stuff to do already.
