Close none too quietly (4)

I believe the answer is:

slam

(Other definitions for slam that I've seen before include "Shut hard" , "A grand one is 13 tricks" , "major contract" , "Taking of twelve or thirteen tricks (bridge)" , "Winning of 12 or 13 tricks at bridge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
