door

I've got an internal stud wall, with a door in it...well, 2 doors actually - 2 old wooden panel doors facing each other, with a 4 inch gap between them. I want to stick or fix something to the back of one or both of the doors to reduce transmission of speech. I'd appreciate any thoughts on...

Hi all - I have 11 interior doors and I want to change all the handles. My question is really about sizing - having shied away from all types of DIY I think I could do this one ;) but do I just simply order some from the Internet or do I have to be aware of sizing? For example, the ones I have...

Moved into a property with fairly old upvc doors. The front door has a glass panel insert in the top half of the door, horizontally centered about 2/3 width of door. I've noticed the glass can be moved from both sides and seems the seals and fascias have come away to some extent probably due to...

Hi. I wondered if anyone can give me some advice? The lock on the outside of my UPVC door has become very difficult to turn. It gets stuck in position and won't turn or will turn slightly to the right (when unlocked so wrong direction). Lock seems to click as if key isn't releasing it properly...

Have an internal built in Fridge from Siemens and now the hinge / bracket seems to have gone at the bottom and I can't shut the door? It resists on closing and pings open about 3 inches with some resistance when it closes? My wife said that a small curly piece of metal shot out the other day...

Hi, I have two front doors in the house; a UPVC outside door and a mahogany/ glass inside door. The mahogany/ glass inside door is reasonably heavy and it is easy to firmly close it, or, push it hard home (heavy handed users) in such a way that it makes a huge clunk that can be heard by...

Could not help laughing at this photo... :LOL:

I’ve been quoted £1600 (fitted) for a new composite front door, nothing fancy, plain white with large glass panel. It has a side light and top light which bumped the cost up by £400. I’ve been to two local double glazing shops and think that’s the going price. It needs to be measured and...

Hi. I've just gone to replace what I thought was a standard ferloc 528 and eurolock cylinder on a door (should have been a 20 min task) and found that the euro cylinder will not come out of the door. It appears to totter around the retaining machine screw point though, even though that has...

hi im new here so not sure where to put my post so first HI all and ill try to post some pictures basically the guy installed the frame less door on the end it has magnetic strip which should match the strip on the side when its closed but you should see its miles off and gap on the bottom and...

Hi folks, could I ask for your opinion please? I have a period property, and I'd like to fit my architrave with corner blocks and plinths. However, our dining room has two doors, both with their door jambs pretty much against the next wall (please see the attached photo). I've seen this problem...

Hi. Our UPVC door is failing to close fully at the bottom leaving a few mm gap. It usually closes fully if pushed from the outside at the bottom. I've removed the cap on one of the hinges revealing several points of possible adjustment (see photo), however I am unsure which to adjust. There are...

I noticed on both of our French doors that around the lock part where the doors come together and close, there is a roaring draught coming in!! I wondered as these wont be opened for another 6 months or so and kept locked and closed, is there such a thing as a Vertical Door Draught Excluders...

Hello all, I will be removing this window, cutting the brick out and fitting UPVC French Doors. Of course, after removing the radiator! Across the bottom there is a DPC in the brick from the outside. Rough brick opening 1800 x 1900 to the DPC (Custom made to size due to low height) Cavity...

Hi. Does anyone know where I find those indoor door draft excluders for the sides of doors/door arches that are sort of a black felt type material and they are fairly thin in depth? Got some foam draught excluders in the past but they're not very durable so was wanting to get the proper felt...

The brother in law some how managed to crack a door spindle by twisting it too hard! I took the spindle to my local hardware "has everything" store but they didn't have a similar one. It's tapered in two places, the middle is thicker and the ends are thicker, but the taper is at its most at...
