We have those standard pneumatic screen door closers on all our outside doors, and like they always seem to do, they start closing the door really fast before the pneumatic tube kicks in, which then slows the door down abruptly.

The pneumatic tube itself can be adjusted, which changes the door speed once it kicks in. The problem is that this is when the door is almost closed. So when you're trying to get in and out -- probably carrying a tray of something -- you're constantly battling with the door as it hits you awkwardly.

Anyone have a good solution to this? Thank you!
