Just raised the doors so now just need to fit slow closers

The door is a single upvc Rehau total70 (white double glazed).

The Screwfix door closers are all fire rated so I guess fire rating is a free feature. There are cheaper door closers on Aliexpress but I would rather get a Screwfix one.

Both exterior doors are basic double glazed white upvc so very likely not fire rated. But shouldn't I get a fire rated door closer?

Yes the upvc doors are fire resistant

A bit and I will raise them.

Am looking for an automatic slow door closer for an single and double upvc exterior door. To slow the door from dropping and automatically close. So fire rated and weight around 60kg and of type 'overhead door closer' with an adjustable closing time. What product should I get

No that's far too much labour and there are electrical cables hidden in the partition walls a lot of which are not midway in the cavity (pressed against the inside of the plasterboard) chances of getting the plasterboard off without damaging cables are low.

I am insulating not straight (walls are 5 degrees out) partition walls by cutting out 5cm wide rectangles, shoving mineral wool into the cavity then screwing the plaster chunk back over wooden backing. Then I use plaster filler to cover any holes, sand flat then paint. Problem is I can still see...
