Slammer is a small start up currently only operating with two full time staff and an array of quality contractors that take care of all our needs.

Nick, the inventor and patent holder, is a subject matter expert on slamming doors, door hanging, SoftSlam, installation of SoftSlam and most carpentry work.

Elizabeth is a qualified mechanical engineer and project manager that is seeing SoftSlam through development and into production.

Never has their been a product on the market like SoftSlam. Not too unlike soft close products that you see in kitchens in it's final operation, SoftSlam is not simply a full size version of the same. If only the engineering were that easy!

SoftSlam is the only safe and quite door solution that is 100% Kiwi invented and manufactured that stops a door from slamming.

SoftSlam is manufactured in Whanganui and retails out of offices in Foxton.

Nick Hopkins, a professional joiner / carpenter and door expert designed and patented SoftSlam specifically to protect the hands and fingers of the youth of New Zealand.

Customer Testimonial
Fabulous, no more slamming! I can now open my doors with no fear of the door slamming when the wind decides to blow hard. Wonderful invention. I am stoked. - Jualane Rapson

Hand injuries and noise are serious issues with doors. Injuries directly attributable to doors cost New Zealand more than $23 million / year. Noise from doors slamming cost hotels when patrons leave poor reviews. Hospitals, day cares centres, nursing homes, schools, and many other businesses suffer through loss of healing sleep and loss of concentration resulting in lower productivity and irritated workers.

SoftSlam is designed for the personal door whether it is on the home front or a hotel, office, or quaint shop. Discreet enough to use in a historic building, it is rugged enough to use at a school.
