Sad, but too true, too often.
Give the installer points for the 5th screw fastening & making the head gasketing (almost) continuous
BC, Canada EH ? Had to be a square head (Robertson) screw in the bunch.
This is actually more common than you realize. Some contractors just love the hex head screws because they do not strip the head like a phillips head screw. I have seen this on exit devices as well. I am sure most have experienced the same
Yes, I’ve seen it plenty of times.

The “Robertson” square-drive fasteners are a tip-off that this photo was taken in Canada, eh?
i have seen it on new installs. it may not be a true “fix it Friday”
That looks almost exactly where I work! The only difference is that the screws aren’t stripped, the hex heads aren’t rounded, and there isn’t 31 coats of paint over it.
Don’t laugh too much at us Canucks as LCN use to produce the 4040 and a few other lines at a factory just west of the city of Toronto That little town is now the city of Mississauga …
The other door in the pair had stripped holes in the aluminum header so a creative carpenter used #8 by 5 inch woodscrews to reattach the closer instead of re-drilling and tapping the mounting holes. It was a 10 minute job to do it properly. Yes, we do have job security repairing their fixes!
