door

Hi all. Our external door has a draft on one side, this is due to the seals on the underside of the door being damaged when the previous owners let the door drop. I've asked a door parts site for advice, but they think the part fitted is now obsolete. My question is, where can I find a T...

Hi any idea how we can get the top of the door to be more flush against the frame? The bottom seems to be fine but you can put your hand near the top and push it to to be closer to the frame. We've national hickmen hinges but they just seem to move the door closer or further away from the frame.

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...

Dear DIYNot members! Our front door has naturally (over five years) developed a bend at its bottom corner. I would like to put some draft excluder around that side, but I'm not 100% happy with the idea of only putting it along just the half of the door height (as the door won't close evenly)...

I have a chime on the entry door which sounds on all the internal sounders throughout the house when the door is opened but it is too loud. How do I lower the volume. If there is a specific page in the instruction book, can someone point me to it. I managed to adjust the volume on the keypad...

The handle on my sliding door is not working correctly and is slightly loose. I wanted to remove it to see if there was something obvious I could do, but I can't even get it off! There are no visible screws and I have no idea how to remove it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hello all, too long didn't read: I've got problem with sliding door in Citroen Relay that won't open from inside or out after central lock locked them but won't open. No idea what to do now as I can't remove the lock mechanism without opening the door first. full story: I replaced the lock...

I am looking to fit real wood flooring in two rooms with a door frame in the middle. I don't particularly want to have a joining strip. The boards will go along the width of the door and I am concerned that I might not be able to get the click-lock boards together once they are fitted into the...

Does it matter that the 7mm is a little bit loose in the hole? It's not so small that it turns/flips over within the hole. I'm just finding it impossible to find the correct width spindle for these doors. 8mm spindles were too tight. 7mm are a bit loose. The spindles that came with the...

Hello. I'm concerned about my backdoor as we have had some heavy rain in the last day and I noticed a wet patch in the concrete that meets the corner of the door frame. Somehow water is making its way into the house through both edges of the door. I have always had concerns over the...

I have an understair cupboard which was made by a carpenter which need to be improved as the horizontal board as threshold just look horrible ( see Photos). Is there any way to strongly fix the 4x2 stud to the floor in order to remove the 4x1 board? I can replace the 4x2 with a longer one which...

I want to fit a door closer with a nice damped action to my front door. I have some of these spare: https://www.screwfix.com/p/smith-locke-series-3-overhead-door-closer-silver/399hr But unfortunately they're far too "fat" - with the closer in place, I can only open the door about 60 degrees...

In my building the door slams every time it closes. I tried adjusting the speed of the door closer, but the instructions show 3 points of adjustment, whereas I only managed to find one (the side one) and adjust it with an Allen key. Am I missing something? I can't find the rest of the screws...

I have acquired a Keter shed, still boxed and unassembled, for free from an elderly lady locally. Unfortunately the instructions, although present, had got wet and stuck together making them almost completely unreadable. I have been in touch with Keter who were unable to provide any assistance...

Hi I have bifold doors in place with the magnet to hold the door open set in the middle (going by what manufacturer set out), but the door comes away from the magnet when even slightly windy. A second magnet can’t be placed nearer to the end of the door because of the restriction with the...
