No engineer was not right, he did not fit the locks on the reader side because he checked the other side of the door he fitted them there by mistake, so no i was not wrong and he was right. The closers were not fitted when he fitted the locks so he had no idea.

Yeah john i had though of leaving the stainless steel mushroom in the door the z bracket would cover the hole on the other side of the door but this would mean informing the main contractor who would be well within his rights to ask for new doors which would cost a pretty penny. I just wanted...
