I'm animating a door slamming open but I have no idea how to make it go faster or move faster. Is there anyway to animate speed?

Adjust the position of keyframes in the timeline. More frames between = slow, fewer frames between = faster.

Sometimes you need a very forceful movement. In that case try a direct cut from door closed to door open, and only animate the rebounce from the wall a bit. With sound this works nicely.
