hinges

Hi all, So, I've decided to put a cupboard door under the stairs and reclad the walls/studs. I've used 12mm ply and I'm going to cover it with 21x4mm D stripwood à la baton wall. I had to use 12mm ply otherwise it would be thicker than the edge of the stairs with the stripwood. Anyway - I need...

I'm hanging a reclaimed door, which is an original from a neighbour. New trim had been added to the wrong side of the door frame. The old door and frame both have hinge notches cut already but they don't align. Is it better to - extend the notch on the door - extend the notch on the frame -...

Hi All, I’m struggling to work out how I can hang a pair of wooden driveway gates as the gate post in between my drive and my neighbours doesn’t have enough space on the back to mount a standard hook and band hinge because there is a fence post in the centre right next to the post. Can someone...

Hi all, bit of a weird one. I need hinges for my doors to go into my frame. The old hinges are ruined, paint all over them etc and just thought i would get new ones. Measuring up it seemed like they are approx. 76 x 51mm which i can see is a standard size, they are like 80 years old (1930s...

Just bought 2 new half glazed doors to let some light into the kitchen and hallway but noticed are current doors strike plate shape. Is this going to be something I could do without a jig or would it be easier to just buy a new plate (rectangular shaped)

Hi all, One of our conservatory doors got caught by a gust of wind yesterday which seems to have generated enough force to rip the middle hinge out of the door and the top hinge most of the way out. See photographs! The bottom hinge also has some damage: a bit of cracking but nothing as...

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...

Hi, I have some slow close hinges with a damper clipped on. (see pic) How do I get the cover off? Everything I try seems to lift the hinge up as well Also, is there anything I can put on the door side to strengthen the hinge as I’ve already had to repair three threaded screw holes and they...

Hello All, I've just purchased some new internal doors and they have come with these metal plates in the slots cut for the hinges. There's three of these per door (top, bottom, middle) and I've tried (unsuccessfully) to find the correct hinges that with either fit into the attachment or into...

Hi all, I'm needing to lean on your experience.... I'm currently building an arcade machine (my woodworking skills are pathetic but I'm having a go anyway!). I want the control panel to be able to lift up on hinges so I can get underneath to change buttons etc if there's any problems. I've...

Hi all, I moved into my house last year. All of the windows upstairs have huge gaps in them, some of them I can actually fit a whole finger down the hinge side and can see daylight. These windows were only installed in 2011. As per advice I’ve seen I have bought some new hinges. Just replaced a...

Hi, I want to stop my bathroom door opening on its own accord. I thought there was a problem with the door frame being out of plumb, but cannot find evidence of this being the case. Of course if closed all the way it latches and stays there but it always swings back towards the wall if not. I...

We’re on a tight budget, I’ve got a kitchen wall unit which is 600 wide x 385 high. I want to put a lift up door on it (with a stay, obviously). However, the top or ‘lid’ of the wall unit is 30mm thick, which means that a standard kitchen cupboard door hinge won’t do, because as the door is...

Would appreciate advice/guidance on this issue... I'm about to order some internal doors. They are manufactured from engineered board (of some kind) covered with real wood veneer. Each door weighs 30kg. Question: Can I hang them with two, four-screw hinges (i.e. strong 102mm bearing hinges)...

Hi I'm in a spot of trouble, last night I opened my window to let some air in but as I've closed the window the hinges jammed and bent. After some research I realise that these hinges aren't expensive or difficult to replace but my questions are which hinges do I get and will the new hinges in...

wooden door, approx. 14 years old. The door won't fasten to the hinges. I've tried putting polyfilla to fill the holes where the screws go (but seems a bit of a bottomless pit) and I've tried packing the screw holes with cocktail sticks , to get a bit more purchase for the screws. It's worked...

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!

Hi there, my left hand side french door seems to come away slightly from the top, and so I have to lift it up on the middle edge while shutting to get it cleanly over the threshold. The gap between the door and frame is wider at the top than bottom so I thought maybe I need to adjust the hinges...

Hi all, one of my internal doors is not hung properly but I don't know how to correct it. The problem is that won't stay at 90 deg, it keeps closing half way. It's a door between our lounge and a lobby which I'd like to keep open, but it just swings back to half way! It's a glazed 15 panel door...
