Today I'm in my office working on quotes etc. and while I wait for some information I keep hearing this bang from an 2nd floor entrance door that is just outside of my office door to the outside on the ground floor.
It has been banging for weeks because the closer is out of adjustment but as I'm mainly on the road I hadn't really thought about it. It's banging so hard I thought the glass was going to break at some point.
So I thought let me see if I can adjust the screws on the closer when no one is around to stop it from banging because it's really annoying and it's shaking the frame which my glass door and windows are also apart of and the ceiling between us and that entrance to the second floor. Sure enough it's a 2 stage closer and it's out of adjustment on the 2nd stage. I adjusted it and it stopped the noise.
Next thing I know I see two ladies outside having a smoke and they keep opening the door and letting it close and then examining the door and sort of look dumbfounded.
I can see them but they can't see me because I have a one-way film on my windows. Then a guy comes out to join them for their smoke break and he starts playing with the door also looking dumbfounded.
Anyway I sat here and laughed, maybe because it's Friday, but more so at them thinking some sort of Magic fixed the door by itself.
Just thought I would share. I'll see if I can snap a photo to add later so you can see what I'm talking about.
