half your life is spent propping them open, the other half is spent failing to prop them open. what is the concept here?

if you're propping them open you're probably committing a crime under the Health and Safety at Work Act btw

fire doors are mostly made of wood as i understand it, the point is to contain the available oxygen for a time rather than to be completely fireproof

If its in your house, why not just disconnect the door closer?

I just disconnected them all. Removing the last screw from each of the plates results in an almighty BANG as it snaps into its partner. I nearly shit myself EACH TIME. Horrible things.

Right. This is the second house in London I've been in that's had them.
