No the building inspector won't pass it if it doesn't completely close
(every time) and the fire officer won't be too happy neither, if he's
required to see it.

is a cheaper one, which will do for domestic fire door use.

If you've never fitted one of these before, get a tube of filler
too, to fill all the mounting holes you make for positions which
turn out not to work when you test them ;-)
