door

I want to fit a door closer with a nice damped action to my front door. I have some of these spare: https://www.screwfix.com/p/smith-locke-series-3-overhead-door-closer-silver/399hr But unfortunately they're far too "fat" - with the closer in place, I can only open the door about 60 degrees...

In my building the door slams every time it closes. I tried adjusting the speed of the door closer, but the instructions show 3 points of adjustment, whereas I only managed to find one (the side one) and adjust it with an Allen key. Am I missing something? I can't find the rest of the screws...

The door bangs when I try to close it. It will close if I push/pull it really hard - I mean really hard. And the whole house seems to shudder. How do I correctly describe what is wrong here? I feel as if "it doesn't shut properly" is a bit vague. https://imgur.com/a/R6F0fAL The door was...

Hi, Does anybody know how to remove these specific butt hinges (see below) which don't have any grub screws or hex key slots at either end of the pin? As you can see, it's not possible to access either set of screws (into door or frame) and so without grub screws am I just supposed to hammer...

Afternoon folks, I have two interior wooden doors with the same issue. The bottom of the door is hitting the side jamb well before the top and so you have to really pull it to close it and then off course it pops open when opened because of the pressure on it. The door havent warped so...

I decided to decorate the small box bedroom in my house as it had not been done for years! As a first step I stripped and sanded the bedroom door smooth with an electric sander after having to scrape some bits. The door I think is wood with a type of hardboard covering. The house was built in...

I have those doors that look like paneled doors but where the surface is made of plastic - common in modern houses. I would like to route or cut a groove to mount an acoustic seal - just a thin piece of flexible rubber. The door is made from a wooden outer frame and then covered with what...

Hi, I am putting down new flooring on our top floor apartment (2007) that we just bought. One room has a balcony. It seems dampness is coming in from the balcony - particularly after rain [maybe that's obvious :o) ]. Is there any way to fix or mitigate this before putting down vinyl? Any...

We bought a new build..... We believe the front door and one internal wall are not straight how would I measure the deviations? Is it just case of a piece of string and measuring the gap between one end and another? Or are there easier ways?

My front door has ended up with a small gap at the bottom opposite the hinge side. It appears to be a butt-style hinge from Googling a bit. It looks like the bottom hinge has drifted out of alignment of the middle and top hinges creating this gap. I've mucked about but really have no idea what...
