    I have a misaligned uPCV external door with butt hinges (not sure which manufacturer, but is 3D adjustment type). The bottom hinge is clearly out of alignment and recently a small screw fell out the bottom - my guess is that it has just worked loose over time. I have tried to push and screw...

    French Door sill too short!

    As per the title -- the sill for my French doors is short by about 10-15mm either end. This is because the builders didn't read the plans properly and have built the opening too wide. Unfortunately it's too late for them to do anything now so I'm on my own. I've spent a good few hours trying to...

    Gap under external door.

    Hi all. Our external door has a draft on one side, this is due to the seals on the underside of the door being damaged when the previous owners let the door drop. I've asked a door parts site for advice, but they think the part fitted is now obsolete. My question is, where can I find a T...

    Internal door sticks out at top

    Hi any idea how we can get the top of the door to be more flush against the frame? The bottom seems to be fine but you can put your hand near the top and push it to to be closer to the frame. We've national hickmen hinges but they just seem to move the door closer or further away from the frame.

    Wooden door naturally bent - need draft exclusion ideas

    Dear DIYNot members! Our front door has naturally (over five years) developed a bend at its bottom corner. I would like to put some draft excluder around that side, but I'm not 100% happy with the idea of only putting it along just the half of the door height (as the door won't close evenly)...

    Can I use 7mm door spindle in a 8mm hole when fitting new knobs?

    Does it matter that the 7mm is a little bit loose in the hole? It's not so small that it turns/flips over within the hole. I'm just finding it impossible to find the correct width spindle for these doors. 8mm spindles were too tight. 7mm are a bit loose. The spindles that came with the...
