door

The door bangs when I try to close it. It will close if I push/pull it really hard - I mean really hard. And the whole house seems to shudder. How do I correctly describe what is wrong here? I feel as if "it doesn't shut properly" is a bit vague. https://imgur.com/a/R6F0fAL The door was...

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...

I decided to decorate the small box bedroom in my house as it had not been done for years! As a first step I stripped and sanded the bedroom door smooth with an electric sander after having to scrape some bits. The door I think is wood with a type of hardboard covering. The house was built in...

I have those doors that look like paneled doors but where the surface is made of plastic - common in modern houses. I would like to route or cut a groove to mount an acoustic seal - just a thin piece of flexible rubber. The door is made from a wooden outer frame and then covered with what...

Hi, I am putting down new flooring on our top floor apartment (2007) that we just bought. One room has a balcony. It seems dampness is coming in from the balcony - particularly after rain [maybe that's obvious :o) ]. Is there any way to fix or mitigate this before putting down vinyl? Any...

We bought a new build..... We believe the front door and one internal wall are not straight how would I measure the deviations? Is it just case of a piece of string and measuring the gap between one end and another? Or are there easier ways?

My front door has ended up with a small gap at the bottom opposite the hinge side. It appears to be a butt-style hinge from Googling a bit. It looks like the bottom hinge has drifted out of alignment of the middle and top hinges creating this gap. I've mucked about but really have no idea what...

Did a dry fitting of the door into the frame and it fit perfectly with 20cent coin (2p UK equivalent) gap the whole way around. I installed hinges on the door and was really happy with how flush i got the hinges into the door and frame. In spite of this the door is very tight/doesnt close on the...

Hi everyone, Would like some advice on insulation of the front door. The front door is made out a really nice wooden frame (looks better on the outside): And I really like the look of it, however it's not the warmest. The bottom panels were just basic thin wood ones so I was able to cover them...
