I work in a retail store and my desk is in the stock room when retail workers are always going in and out getting stock the door would frequently be left open and it would slam HARD. All the time, so I wanted to get a soft door closer, but thought I'd try this first. It's perfect. The door hits it and then bounces off usually softly closing after that. You can test this out by slamming the door and it will always stop it. Amazing product. And of course, if you have kids this would be awesome...for its intended purpose.
