Where you went wrong was paying £1.79p for a door closer - a fire

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.

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 ;-)

With the dearer ones, you only fix it once and it is fully adjustable in
several directions / speeds / strengths /etc...and they are tested to 10,000
operations!
