Yes 10 teeth but very pointed rather than flat cogs like picture I posted. The pointed teeth fit into dimples in the bar. Pictures attached I still have the cog from the old lock, thinking about buying a new cylinder and seeing if the cam can be swapped. Anyone know if this is possible with...

I didn’t take pictures as half the lock was missing but found something similar. The center cam had a gear on it which drove the sliding bar.

I already have the euro one but it’s not a standard cylinder

Spoke to Gatemate who didn’t offer anything and whole lock needs replacing

This is what I already have but the cylinder is a proprietary one and not a standard euro cylinder

the lock is about 3-4yrs old. Good idea, I’ll reach out to them…I’d be happy even if I could buy a replacement cylinder

Hi all Currently have a Gatemate double lock on my garden gate. The lock has been snapped so I opened it up and see the cylinder isn’t replaceable. Had to get a whole new lock at just shoot £60! Is there anything similar out there with replaceable cylinders? The actual lock casing etc is good...

Another question I have is about sizing indoor units. Am I better over sizing or not. I have 2 rooms @ 4.7x4.0m and 2 @ 5.7x4.0m. Outdoor units to be a 8kw Thanks

Any thoughts on Fujitsu units?

Thanks for that, much appreciated. It does seem the general consensus that Mitsi electric is better all round, with better efficiency as well. I’ve been quoted approx £4k for a 4-way system using MHI and was told mitsi electric was about 20% more. That’s was for a 8kw outdoor unit and 2.5kw...

Looking for a multi split as I don’t have much space in that side of the house…too far pillars, glass etc. I’ve been rough quotes for a 8kw outdoor with 4 x2.5kw indoor for Mitsubishi heavy with 7year warranty.

Thanks for that. Yeah finding each installer is usually tied to a few brands. I quite like the Mitsubishi electric units, Daikin I always remember from commercial I did not know about planning permission, thanks or letting me know. I’ll take a look into this

Hi all Looking at getting a split unit fitted to serve 3/4 rooms. So many brands out there and wondering if anyone who knows more about it can shed some light. I don’t just want to go for the cheapest, thinking about long term costs, reliability and maintenance etc as well. Thanks in advance

It’s around 3.1m wide. I think I’ll end up going with a scissor type lift, spreads the weight more and won’t take up as much space. Just need to clear the damn thing…probably the hardest bit as nowhere for it to go

I was thinking 150mm, 100mm was compacted sub base. I will take a look at installation docs. Will it need a dpm and if so how does that work at the front entrance.
