Door closer

A door closer, comprising;

• a plate-shaped mounting bracket of generally rectangular cross-section and rectangular outline, which in use is fixed to a door, the bracket having two tongue-shaped coupling portions projecting from said cross-section and which, when the bracket is so fixed, extend horizontally longitudinally along and coextensive with upper and lower edges of said outline;
• an elongate main body having means for linking a top thereof, in use, with a frame of the door to close the door, the main body also having two mutually parallel walls, each wall having an elongate groove recessed therein and coextensive with the main body, and each groove having undercut longitudinal edges shaped for slidable fit with the tongue-shaped coupling portions of the mounting bracket, so that the main body can be slidably engaged with the bracket, engaging one of the grooves in use of the main body on a left-handed door, whereas the bracket engages the other groove in use of the main body on a right-handed door;
• and
• a cover plate for covering the groove not so engaged, the cover plate having a pair of tongue-shaped coupling portions similar to those of the bracket.
