them, which, unless your house is listed, isn't really worthwhile).
The good news though is that they don't need self closers on them.


I may be a bit fick here, but what's the point of fire doors without
self-closers?

Are people supposed to remember to shut them before going to bed pished
leaving the chip pan on?



But doors with closers get propped open. On balance they will be closed
more of the time without the closers.
