Just installed these bifolds but need advice on how to seal the underneath where the frame sits. Pics attached Thanks

Guys, I have 2 soft close hinges on a tall fridge cabinet door. The cabinet is 2.3 high and the top door (for the fridge) is I think around 1.2m or there abouts. Now I was supplied with soft close hinges, Cooke & Lewis ones, but on this top door it doesn't have the force required to get past the...

Hi Everyone, I'm in the process of programming my new alarm, its a Texecom Premier Elite 48, with 32XP Expander. I've managed to get the system to learn the PIR sensors, i'm struggling with the door contact sensors (Impaq Contact-W), the control panel isn't able to find them. I've shorted the...

hi Stupid error on my behalf. It's a .7m x.7m hole. Can I retrofit by grinding out some mortar, slipping in some flat metal ties and remortaring? It will be hard walked and skimmed so prettiness is not an issue here. Thanks

Dear All, Our porch door threshold has a slot on the top surface towards the inside which I assume is for some kind of sealing strip. The slot is 5mm wide x 15mm deep. Googling brought up these sealing strips from Australia but I want to know whether something like the DS-13 strip is available...

Not sure what to do next. I had to plane the edges of a door recently that a cowboy builder had installed. I sanded, undercoated in my usual water based primer/undercoat and used the very last dregs of a crown non drip gloss. There was brown liquid in the bottom so I just mixed it together...

Hi everyone, Mum's (half-glazed, wooden) porch door has been dragging in the recent damp weather, so I think it needs raising. There's a largish (6-8mm?) gap at the top so I want to raise the door by about 5mm. What is the best way of achieving this? One "trick" I remember is to remove the...

Hi, I have a draught coming from a gap at the bottom right-hand corner of our french door. Does anyone know how this can be fixed? There is a gap at the top right-hand corner too. Image here: https://1drv.ms/i/s!AvxDFgUHUgNCxGQLt7Za-i5ZIY8n Thanks!

Hi, does anyone know how I could fix the wobbly threshold strip on my front door? Sometimes it's a bit loose and this stops the door closing properly, which isn't good! I've attached a picture. I think it's adjustable, and that the middle strip you can see should lift up so I can access screws...

Hi folks, I'm looking for some advice before starting a project to convert our garage into a store/utility/games room. FYI, the garage adjoins my lounge and my neighbours', is single story with a pitched roof, and was built 2 years ago. I'm pretty handy (D&T teacher :D) and am planning on...

I am working on a bodge automated door. This is the equipment and tools I have... A Raspberry Pi (to control the servo, receive commands etc.) A 7V servo motor. A hot glue gun. Some velcro (hook & loop) tape (although it isn't the best). Some wire ties and some stationary string. Some wire and...

Hello DIY experts! The upper catch on my front door appears to have fallen off sometime recently. I've attached two photographs, one of the bottom catch which is still in place and one showing the area of the missing catch at the top of the door. The door is multi-point, so there are also hooks...

Hi. When I depress my handle, the two hook bolts don't go in far enough, only by about 3mm, but enough to stop the door opening. You have to put all you body weight down on the handle to get that last 'click' to open the door. Its now getting to the point that my wife and kids cannot open the...

I have a tilt/slide balcony door. The one in which you turn the handle 90 degrees, and the top of the door tilts inwards to give ventilation. Turn the handle 180 degreed and the door pulls out and slides. Earlier today the door was stiff sliding open so I pulled it a little too hard. When I...

Hello all, I have had a second hand composite door fitted along with a new side panel. Had to go second hand for now as run out of cash on a renovation project. The door is catching the frame on the handle side, and also the bottom left corner if looking out toward the road. Its needs a good...
