Doors – way to stop an external door being slammed

doors

I live in a block of flats and we have an errant social housing tenant who gets in in the middle of the night and slams the front door.

We have a hydrolic door closer on the door – although only one with a single closing speed. Beyond adjusting the speed the door closes is there anything we can do to stop the door from being slammable?

Happy to spend maybe £500-1000 to fix this if that's what it takes.

You are probably looking for a commercial grade door closer. One of those with a multi-stage closer mechanism can be adjusted so that the door closes gently but at the same time can keep it closed requiring some initial force to open the door. I am sure that there are many manufacturers of these closers. Here is an example picture of one.
