What are the hazards of slamming car doors too hard?

The hazards of slamming car doors too hard are as follows: 1. Long-term effects may lead to malfunctioning door components and doors not closing properly: causing damage to both the door and car body, affecting the vehicle's sound insulation, further increasing noise levels. The window regulator is also prone to displacement and deformation, and components inside the door may become loose, accelerating door aging. Frequently slamming doors can also cause permanent displacement deformation of the door. The repeated impact over time does objectively cause subtle deformations. 2. Heavy door closing may cause slight displacement of internal door structures: There are hinges and limiters between the door and car body. Frequent forceful door closing can loosen these hinges and limiters. Excessive door closing force can also damage connections between various plastic components inside the car, causing fasteners to loosen and produce abnormal noises. It can also damage door lights and sensor switches, and may even lead to excessive fatigue of sealing strips, resulting in localized wear, paint loss, and rust.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I've found that slamming car doors can cause significant harm, especially the wear and tear on door hinges being a critical issue. Every time you forcefully shut the door, those small metal components endure extra impact, quickly becoming loose or deformed, resulting in creaking sounds when opening or closing. If this habit isn't corrected, the door lock mechanism may also suffer damage, leading to improper closure or locking issues, which can compromise driving safety. More seriously, the car's frame accumulates minor vibration damage over time, affecting overall stability in the long run. I've discovered that gently closing the door with just a slight push allows it to shut securely, protecting components and saving money—why use so much force? Once this habit is formed, the car becomes quieter, lasts longer, and makes every journey more comfortable.
