THANK YOU SO MUCH! it all works amazing now, just need to get the keys cut now :) Also will get another keyhole escutcheon, the one supplied is very small.

Thanks John, I will look into getting the kickstop and also the strip, also both the Era locks you recommended did the job! I am just having trouble with the box striker :(

John thank you so much! it does measure like the second ERA one, I have reserved and will be picking up shortly I will let you know :) Is the kickstop easy to install? also does it do what it says in the name, ie stops someone from kicking the door?

Thank you, I panicked and used WD40 as it was the only thing I found and it worked, will note this for nextime

Hi John, thanks for the detailed comment! the images as requested are attached. Measures are as follows: Width of the old lock case: 6cm Basket: 4cm Height & Thickness: 8.4cm (h) 1.6cm (thickness) Noted on the below... it did jam while the door was open but I learnt my lesson the hard way...

Hi all, I am in a block of flats. My current flat entrance door is wood (rejected to replace with pvc) and I am using a Deadlocking night latch. However in the middle I have a 3 lever deadlock that sometimes works (last time was today which resulted in my using WD40 to get the lock to open) -...

Thanks! I know aha silicone will cover my flaws ;) Appreciate all your help

That’s a very good point and i should hhave looked into it, but honestly it hasn’t really bothered me… on that note I did go with pvc panelling in the end (not perfect but I think it looks okay, I will silicone the flaws) also replaced the bath panel and the vinyl. Thanks for your help :)

Thank you... I decided to go against the wall cladding in the end, I have many cuts etc, to make... I have, however plasterboarded (not sure if this is correct) where the ply was rotted and now I am thinking about what to do... Do you think this will work...

Thank you, I was thinking of replacing the wood sitting on the frame. But I will just cover it with cladding instead. What is the best tool to mod the framing? I did try removing it from the frame, but it was impossible. I have bought a corner trim and I will get a fine tooth saw today :) also...

Hi all, sorry if this is in the wrong sub... I had a water leak over a year ago and never got around to repair the damage caused. However I have some time now to sort this and want to know the most efficient way? I did buy some pvc panels today, but all the cutting etc, seems a pain, although I...

in that case you need to let it completely defrost and leave it off for a few days

Hi Tony, if you pour water down the pipe and if it drips down it's not blocked... if it is boil hot water and slowly pour it down that does the trick!

Hi all, Me again, I am having an issue with my freezer; while the door does shut, however, if something sticks out the temperature drops.... this often resolves itself once I slam the draws inside. I have taken off the back panel, and there isn't any ice build-up or any reason for the door to...

Hi all, sorry for the delay... see attached test results as requested
