Is this door closer easy to fit?

this one

The cat keeps coming in the lounge and the door stays open - there is a draft

So we hoped this might close it after him? (so we don't have to get up and close the door)

But we aren't tremendously good at DIY - so how easy is it to fit?

Incredibly easy if you have a drill and screwdriver

Lovely & will it pull the door too?

We can do curtain pole and shelves but out stair hand rail has flumoxed us!

Yes, the pole bit goes into the barrel and pushes three door shut. Can be quite strong though so may just find it keeps the cat out!

He is quite stubborn he can open a closed door!

Thanks I think we will try one

We are sat eating or watching TV he opens the door for litter/food/water the wanders back - the draft is a bugger!

Does it look like it'll work?

Otherwise we'll have to move the litter and everything or cut a hole in the wall!

It's only half glazed and the panes are silly sizes

I wonder if I could do something with string? Or some elastic?

Too short

DH would use a tennis ball if the door hung the other way and it wasn't half glass

Well it's cheap enough so if it doesn't work there is no real loss

Thanks
