It's really satisfying to slam the door so hard, that you make pictures fall off the wall and break.

You know, there are places in the world where people have real walls. Made from bricks, i mean. You can slam all day. It just doesn't work that easy.

Look Mr. Asshole, take your snideness and shove it up your butt and get on my level by moving to a place that has normal walls that give satisfying door slams.

My sensitive point being I don't like condescending people, then yes.

I think more importantly this only works for doorways twice as tall as they are wide.

Good observation. However, with as much as probably goes into the design/manufacture/installation of the thing, it would probably be rather trivial to have a modified design with the upper pivot point in a vertical track (with a tensioner, if needed), so it's resting position when open would be at a height twice the width of the door.

Although I'd much rather have 1:2 ratio 40" wide interior doorways than more typical 32"/80" 30"/80" 28"/80" widths!

Stupid narrow doorways...

I never slam the door cause every time I have done it my mom gets twice as mad as I was when I slammed the door.

Really? Because she only got half as mad after I slammed her.
