Yea that's fair. Thanks for the feedback, its much appreciated.

Sorry should have clarified that, yes the handle is used to latch the bolts on the top and bottom

There isn't a key for it so I've no idea if it actually works as a lock or not. The bolts do latch through the top and bottom though. Is it normal to not have a locking mechanism on the slave door?

Hi yes I do, attached.

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...

Ah fair enough, I'll try that then, cheers! Am I being unreasonable with these variances or would this be expected for this type of thing?

Cheers for the replies. It was over the phone to a depot near me, so not sure if it's the same as online purchases.

HI, I'm currently in the process of building sleeper walls in my garden with new treated sleepers. I started this a while back with 2400x200x100 sleepers and now just ordered 5 more of the same size to complete the project. The 5 that arrived all have different widths and depths. I.e one will...

Hi all, Ive build out a patio in my back garden and have now come to the stage of building the steps from my French doors down to the patio. However, I've been reading that I should have laid the steps first... Should I - A - lift the flags where the steps will be, fit the steps then refit the...

Yea my plan was to make a planet bed between the sleepers and the grass. I just wasn't sure if the sleepers lining the back of the retaining wall would look weird or not

Hi all, I'm currently in the process of building a sleeper wall to try and flatten out my lawn. There is already a retaining wall for a sunken patio which is due to the house being on the side of a hill and theres not much i can do with that. I'm in a bit of a dilemma on what do to with the...

Hi all, I've currently got a problem with a very squelchy lawn. The lawn is on a gradual slope towards the house and is at it's worst at the bottom of the slope. The soil is generally heavy with clay as well. I was planning on installing a landdrain throughout the lawn but i'm now wondering if...

Ha fair enough. Would you say this is bad practice to do this? The only reason i'm suggesting it is the aco drain pipe inlet is facing the direction where the perforated pipe would be coming from and is on the right level.

The grass is uphill from the drain, so the aco drain is at the lowest point at the back of the house house.
