How to replace regular spring hinge to Waterson Closer Hinge

Replace traditional spring hinges with Waterson’s if you hate slamming

I currently use Stanley/Hager/Bommer spring hinges on my office doors, which cause terrible slamming and vibration. Can Waterson fix the problem? Also, is it possible to replace traditional spring hinges with Waterson Hinges?
