Do 5"x1" door frames from Travis etc shrink much after fitting? How much would they lose from o/a width? Can you buy any that are so dry that they won't? Tnx all Dain

Hi, Wondered if someone has experience in this area and could shed some light on what I think is shoddy workmanship. Moved into my new build home around 18 months ago and have since had problems with my front door. I am not on my 3rd new front door due to bowing. The remedial works...

Hi I would like to install my Ring doorbell. The door is UPVC. Would you attach to the door with self-tapping screws or would you fix to the brick wall next to the door? Screwing to the UPVC is kind of quicker and easier, but I'm not sure as to how sensible this is. Any thoughts please as to...

I am trying to locate this door seal and I am having difficulty. I feel like the widest part of the arrow section is around 4mm and the widest part in general is around 9mm. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi all, Sorry if this is in the wrong place. (new to this.) I recently had a new front door fixed to our house. Because of the small porch that we have the door opens outwards. Would anyone recommend a hook or chain I could attach to stop it from fully opening i.e. if it gets caught by wind, I...

I'm looking to upgrade my front door's lock to a kitemarked multi-point lock (the kind that insurance companies like to see). The UPVC door currently just has a single latch although it looks like there are cut-outs towards the top and bottom in both the door and the frame where I presume there...

Large Timber Door Bowing - What's gone wrong? Could do with some expert advice please to see if this can be remedied on a replacement. The door is 1.1 meters wide approx, the construction is (I'm told) engineered hardwood solid core door (44mm) with 6mm tricoya face, the back is also faced with...

Solutions for this cavity against the wall below door frame. Looks like previous had new flooring installed. The threshold going outside is fine.

Hi all, I'm looking to fit a couple of sets of door restrictors, or check straps - to some UPVC Double glazed french doors. Is it a case of one size fits most? or do I need something specific to fit a particular supplier? One set of doors is a fairly recent install with rehau extrusions, the...

Hi I’m trying to find a replacement door handle for my back French/upvc door. It’s a 92pz on a gu lock if it matters. My screw center distance is approx 110mm, closest I can find is 122mm. Does anyone recognise this size? I’ve trawled the internet for days but I cannot find another like it...

Problem: There is a gap at the bottom of my PVC door causing a draft, it looks like the bottom needs to move to the left so that it makes contact with the rubber seal around the frame. Attempted fixes: I've rotated the cams on the door and adjust the catches inside the frame but this wasn't...

I have an old pine door that is warped on the handle end of the door so that when closed to the frame, the top and bottom sit to the frame and the middle is about 10mm from the frame, therefore making it impossible to close (the hinge end of the door is perfectly straight. It's been like this...

The Problem I've got an issue whereby water is getting into my house whenever there is moderate-heavy rain. This is a new build from 2015 (maybe that's not so new now...) I suspect it is coming in via the front door, but there is no visual evidence of water ingress anywhere - however, walking...

Hi, I've moved into a property and I have French doors at the back of the property with a window handle on one door and a standard door handle on the other.... Is this normal practice ? If not, is it possible to replace the window door handle with a standard door handle to correct the...

I’m trying to renovate my old timber front door. There’s a crack that separates just below the moulding that holds in one of the lower panels. This will not push back in flush to the surface, but I can’t figure out why. I guess it’s possible the wood behind has swollen in some way? What should...

Hi, I have a problem with my front door. Maybe it is good to say that I live on the lowest floor of an apartment complex and was thinking if there is something serious going on with the structure as the door is bent in the bottom half. The apartment is built in 2005. What could be the issue...

I live in a tenement flat and the door entry handset has never been great, but recently it really got worse. Ever since we moved in 10 years ago the handset speaker and mic has not worked - we could not hear visitors at the panel by the main door, nor could they hear us. We put up with this for...

Hi all, Really hoping you can help. I have attempted to build a “secret bookcase” door for my daughter. The door itself I’m happy with but despite hanging it three times, the bottom corner on the opposite side of the hinge side, sticks out by about 4cm when I close the door. Everything is plumb...

Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone could give me a bit of advice. I want to create a small opening (no wider than a door's width) in the cellar's internal brick wall. The reason for this is because currently there is no access to the suspended floor below and I want to access it so that it's so...

I wanted to change the latch that was sticking on an internal door. The latch is bigger than I expected (case width 40mm) and doesn't look like the usual type of latch I've seen before. Does anyone know what this type is? It seems to have odd measurements as well (approx 83mm case, 62mm...
