Door closing springs on internal doors

[Anteaus]

Their advantages outweigh that perceived danger.

That is disputable. By the same token, hang-gliding is statistically much safer than power flying. (Power A/C prangs happen on a runway under the nose of an ATC... go figure.)

While fires -however small- are always reported, I would suspect that the majority of doorcloser-related injuries go unreported, therefore the extent and frequency of these injuries is largely unknown.

Since they almost invariably cause noisy slamming, they are a major night-time nuisance in shared accommodation, and here again we have a non-assessable safety effect, that of tiredness when operating machinery.

Since a sensible person should be closing fire-doors in unoccupied rooms anyway, they are an example of the careless person being catered-for at the expense of everyone else's inconvenience, all all-too-common trait these days.

Nevertheless they are now required in Scotland on all subdivided properties. Not sure about England.

Oh this should be good.

The first step is to figure out the relevance of your 'analogy'. Well I can't.

While fires -however small- are always reported...

OK then - what were the dates and locations of the only two fires at home that I've been involved in?

...I would suspect that the majority of doorcloser-related injuries go unreported, therefore the extent and frequency of these injuries is largely unknown.

Vague and woffley unsubstantiated woffle.

Since they almost invariably cause noisy slamming...

Untrue.

...they are a major night-time nuisance in shared accommodation, and here again we have a non-assessable safety effect, that of tiredness when operating machinery.

I don't know whether or not this is correct because I can't make any sense out of it.

Since a sensible person should be closing fire-doors in unoccupied rooms anyway, they are an example of the careless person being catered-for at the expense of everyone else's inconvenience, all all-too-common trait these days.

Get real - sensible people are in such a small minority that they might as well not exist.
