Photograph 4 shows that although
the door was protected, in the
absence of a spring or means of
self closure the door having
been left open the room was
rapidly damaged by fire. 5 & 6
show two sides of a door which,
even though badly burnt by fire
on the one side, because it was
self closing and protected held
back the fire and kept the
room from being affected.
