Hi, l've looking for a replacement switch and come across some with either a 2A or 6A rating. Is acceptable to use a 2A rated switch with a 3A fused plug? Thanks

Hi, I have had a pair of necked tower bolts fitted top & bottom (vertically) to some new wooden garage doors. Can anyone advise if these are the correct type of bolt to be fitted for this application because they cannot be moved into the locked off position? The top bolt currently stays in...

Hi, I have had a new set of garage doors installed and my builder was keen to give them some form of protection asap so 2 coats of water based primer have been applied. I have just noticed that the knots haven't been treated. My question is can I apply knotting compound over the primer?
