New description:

 I just shortened and then installed one of the door brushes that Peter
 Kuhm kindly provided that were originally intended for the WEL doors at
 the Lounge door, as has been planned for quite some time now.

 The lounge door is now better insulated and closes a bit slower, but it's
 still too loud when it closes and still quite drafty. We could solve both
 the loudness and the draft issue by installing some insulating/sealing
 tape in the door frame. This should also very very slightly improve the
 Lounge HVAC.

 Unfortunately we don't have such insulating/sealing tape. I'm thinking we
 could also glue that into the other door frames & the windows to improve
 the heating bill next winter a tiny bit... :)

 @pk:
 Since you already mentioned that you drive by a Baumarkt every day, could
 you pick some up?
