Hi, I have some timber window frames on my house. To the front of the property the windows look like they are hardwood and currently have a Ronseal exterior woodstain on them. To the rear of the property the frames appear to have a painted gloss finish (not sure if the frames are hardwood or...

Hi, I have a 60Watt light near my front door which is wired to a fused spur, I was wanting to put a camera door bell like Ring and wire it to a Byron 776 which has a built in transformer and then run some flex from the transformer to the existing fused spur and run it with the outside light...

Can anyone identify these shower door hinges please? Google doesn't know, and local bathroom and plumbing shops have no idea. I've looked for a manufacturer's mark, but seen anything. Please help!

I'm going to have our old Rehau upvc front door and sidelight replaced. Things seemed to have moved on a bit since it was fitted. Can someone explain the difference between composite and uPVC, and any pitfalls/brands that are good or should be avoided? There are tales on here of peeling...

Hi, I want to fit a curtain pole to the wall, above a pair of windows and door. The problem is there seems to be some sort of metal lintel about 1 inch below the plaster. I've bought the finest drill bits - Milwaukee Thunderweb, set my cordless drill to hammer and max torque and it won't go...

I have timber doors and windows on a 1940s semi. On the front on the property the windows and doors have a dark oak stained finish. On the rear they have a dark brown gloss painted finish. I can see some paint is flaking off and there appears to be a grey finish underneath - i'm assuming its...

Evening, I'm planning on closing an internal door by making a stud wall, plaster boarding it then skimming. The wall is brick. Do I need to remove the door liner and screw into brick? Or can I screw the timber into the liner (after removing the stop)? Cheers.

Morning all, Any help from the experienced would be greatly appreciated. I installed a new UPVC back door (full glass pane) recently which has two slotted drain holes just below the drip bar. I think I should make it clear at this point that the drain holes are in the door, not the frame...

Hi all, planning a new kitchen and wondering about narrowing the back door so as to fit larger units onto the adjacent wall. Current door is 2134 x 915mm, solid wood, framed in brick work. Its a big door for the size of the kitchen, would actually prefer it to be smaller so it swings out less...

The kitchen cabinet door is off. The wood is out of the threads as they left it until i came out. Whats the sturdiest way to repair?

I have a VW Gold GTI 2.0 (Year 2000) and the back door is locked fast on both the inside and outside? This drivers side rear door just now does not seem to want to open? I need this to open in order to pass my MOT as its a good car (if a little older but everything else is fine).. I try and...

Hi all Can anyone tell me if this butt hinge is adjustable? There are three on the door and the door has dropped slightly and is catching on the bottom. It seems that it is not adjustable, there appears to just be a pin going down the middle. Just thought I'd check in case I'm missing anything...

hey, So the heat has hit my front door and the beadings popped out. It wouldn't go back in so I stupidly cut it down to size and now it just falls out. I tried to identify the door, frame, locks etc but couldn't find anything about the door itself. The locks are FUHR, the hinges trojan but...

Hi, I want to replace the linings and doors in our house as the doors themselves are beaten up and were very badly hung, not to mention the linings are fire damaged (previously painted over at some point). When I went to measure up I realised these are between 'paramount' partition walls -...

Hi All, I would like your opinions regarding a labour quote I have received for fitting door frames, architraves, hanging new doors, block door opening to make a wall, fitting 2 PVC front home doors and make new double door opening and fit frame and doors. These are the prices below per job...

Hi, I have an aluminum external door installed, and for some reason it doesn't seem to easily close anymore - it needs a really strong push to get the door past the felts on the frame. Once it gets past this, it does shut properly, and can be locked ok. I'm assuming there is something I can...

Hello everyone, I have a door handle that just comes loose and falls off. I suspect there's some sort of small screw that's missing, perhaps in the small eyehole on the side? I've attached pics showing the handle on and off, and a pic of the exposed lock ... any idea what I should do here...

Hi, We have a glass fibre / PVC skinned composite door. It's a couple of years old now and has been through a lot on our very messy building site and so it needs some touching up on the outside. The outside is black and we wish to repaint it black again to make it look like new. I know that...
