In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a homeowner posted about interior doors slamming every time a window was open. It felt like a big issue until someone suggested checking the hinges and strike plates first.
The fix was basic. Tighten loose hinge screws. Adjust the strike plate slightly. Add a small felt pad behind the door stop. No new doors. No carpentry.
Others in the comments said they had lived with the same problem for years thinking it required replacement. Sometimes the solution is not a renovation. It is maintenance that got ignored.
