A Screen and Storm-Door Cushion
A good cushion that will prevent a spring door from slamming can be made out of material cut from an old rubber boot or, better still, from an old hollow rubber ball. Three strips of heavy rubber, 1-1/4 in. long and 3/8 in. wide, are cut and each fastened with two tacks so that the center will make a hump, as shown in the sketch. One cushion is fastened near the top, one near the bottom, and one in the center, in the rabbet of the door frame.—Contributed by D. Andrew McComb, Toledo, O.
