door

Our door frames are about 135mm deep. We're having 35mm-depth doors fitted and we want the threshold to be hidden underneath the door. We currently have our finished wood floor running about 40/50mm into the doorframe (this is screwed down into place, not glued), and we're having our carpet...

I have a Upvc front door with lever handles inside and out. Unfortunately our husky now knows how to open doors and has started letting himself out. I don't like locking the door because kids, postman etc. tend to come and go during the day so I'd like to replace the inside handle with a knob...

Hi everyone, I removed the timber and the wood around my front door as they were badly rotten. I'm aiming to fit a sapele hardwood (photo attached) I'm not confident how I can fix it so it doesn't get loose over time since people will step on it. The previous timber were snug fit into...

Hi, We have a double patio door and the previous owner has bodged a repair to seal a gap. However it will fall off as soon as the 2nd door is opened. How can we seal this gap please? Thanks.

My bathroom door doesn't close properly and I finally investigated why last night. The issue seems to be that the strike plate was far too low and the latch wasn't actually engaging. Easy enough to fix except that where the screws should go to hold the strike plate has been thoroughly chewed up...

Do 5"x1" door frames from Travis etc shrink much after fitting? How much would they lose from o/a width? Can you buy any that are so dry that they won't? Tnx all Dain

Hi, Wondered if someone has experience in this area and could shed some light on what I think is shoddy workmanship. Moved into my new build home around 18 months ago and have since had problems with my front door. I am not on my 3rd new front door due to bowing. The remedial works...

Hi I would like to install my Ring doorbell. The door is UPVC. Would you attach to the door with self-tapping screws or would you fix to the brick wall next to the door? Screwing to the UPVC is kind of quicker and easier, but I'm not sure as to how sensible this is. Any thoughts please as to...

I am trying to locate this door seal and I am having difficulty. I feel like the widest part of the arrow section is around 4mm and the widest part in general is around 9mm. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi all, Sorry if this is in the wrong place. (new to this.) I recently had a new front door fixed to our house. Because of the small porch that we have the door opens outwards. Would anyone recommend a hook or chain I could attach to stop it from fully opening i.e. if it gets caught by wind, I...

I'm looking to upgrade my front door's lock to a kitemarked multi-point lock (the kind that insurance companies like to see). The UPVC door currently just has a single latch although it looks like there are cut-outs towards the top and bottom in both the door and the frame where I presume there...

Large Timber Door Bowing - What's gone wrong? Could do with some expert advice please to see if this can be remedied on a replacement. The door is 1.1 meters wide approx, the construction is (I'm told) engineered hardwood solid core door (44mm) with 6mm tricoya face, the back is also faced with...

Solutions for this cavity against the wall below door frame. Looks like previous had new flooring installed. The threshold going outside is fine.

Hi all, I'm looking to fit a couple of sets of door restrictors, or check straps - to some UPVC Double glazed french doors. Is it a case of one size fits most? or do I need something specific to fit a particular supplier? One set of doors is a fairly recent install with rehau extrusions, the...

Hi I’m trying to find a replacement door handle for my back French/upvc door. It’s a 92pz on a gu lock if it matters. My screw center distance is approx 110mm, closest I can find is 122mm. Does anyone recognise this size? I’ve trawled the internet for days but I cannot find another like it...

Problem: There is a gap at the bottom of my PVC door causing a draft, it looks like the bottom needs to move to the left so that it makes contact with the rubber seal around the frame. Attempted fixes: I've rotated the cams on the door and adjust the catches inside the frame but this wasn't...

I have an old pine door that is warped on the handle end of the door so that when closed to the frame, the top and bottom sit to the frame and the middle is about 10mm from the frame, therefore making it impossible to close (the hinge end of the door is perfectly straight. It's been like this...

The Problem I've got an issue whereby water is getting into my house whenever there is moderate-heavy rain. This is a new build from 2015 (maybe that's not so new now...) I suspect it is coming in via the front door, but there is no visual evidence of water ingress anywhere - however, walking...

Hi, I've moved into a property and I have French doors at the back of the property with a window handle on one door and a standard door handle on the other.... Is this normal practice ? If not, is it possible to replace the window door handle with a standard door handle to correct the...
