A safety mechanism for preventing slamming of a door, the mechanism comprising:
- a board attached to said door;
- a pivot extending from said board;
- an arm comprising a first end and a second end rotatably attached at said first end to said pivot;
- a sloped element, substantially protruding from said board, wherein a closing movement of the door causes said arm to be impinged on the sloped element as the door closes, to produce movement along a sloped surface of said sloped element and guide said arm along an edge of said sloped element;
- a door arresting wedge (AW) attached substantially perpendicularly to said second end of said arm;
- at least one magnet disposed on said board for attracting said arm;
- at least one magnet disposed on an edge of said arm, and
