What can I use to stop my door rattling?

Question

My bedroom door rattles when the window is open at night.

I'm not really looking to run a seal all the way around the jamb, but can't see any DIY product for this particular problem. At the moment hubby has his PJ trousers slung over the door!

Scarey!

Answer 1

Just jam a piece of folded up cardboard in between the door and the frame when you close the door. Stops it for moving. Thats what i used to do anyway. good luck.

Answer 2

shut the window in the other room. your creating a vacuum.

Answer 3

The quick, simple and cheap way is simply to stick a piece of soft rubber exactly where the door is not closing properly.

Experiment a bit - to ascertain exactly where the door is not touching the frame. Once you have located this spot, mark it with a piece of chalk, clean it well - and stick a very small piece of rubber at that spot only - usually it won`t show at all.

Use a good glue, or it will soon fall off with the constant closing of the door.

Tip - close the door immediately on the rubber (there needs to be very slight pressure) and this will help the rubber to stick.

Answer 4

Either adjust the strike plate where the door k**b bolt enters or put some self sticking cabinet door bumpers on the jamb. Nomally the strike plate will have a little ear inside it that you can adjust so as to pull the door closer to the jamb....just reach in with a nail or screwdriver and bend it . Look at it and  you will see how.      Good Luck

Answer 5

Simple, just go to your local hardware store or homecenter. Buy a rubber insulator gasket that adhears to the door jam. Your door has a little space between to jam and the door and is rattling when the wind blows. This gasket is generally used as an insulator for preventing cold air from blowing through the door gap but will fill your gap and work effectivly for your rattling problem.
