  Closing a DVD drive's tray

How do you do it?

I usually close mine by pushing lightly at the end of the tray, until the 
drive seems to "sense" this and pulls the tray closed the rest of the way.

I know of course probably you should more properly use the tray open / close 
button, but I find it is often faster to drop the disc on the tray, then 
push it lightly, rather then reaching for the button which on my drive is 
below the tray, and thus partially hidden from sight (my PC is on a low 
table next to my main desk, so I sit higher than it.)

A friend of mine says doing it "my way" can damage the drive and / or the 
tray mechanism - I can understand that if you bend or ram the tray closed, 
but if you just gently touch it until it starts closing by itself?
