Hi norcon, I hope I don't sound rude, but i have clicked on every door and chose the 726 option, as soon as you do, the page reloads to say 40mm depth. If you have an example of one in particular I would be very grateful. How would you go about packing out the doorframe. I'm worried...

As I have highlighted previously ... All the doors I can find in this size are 40mm fire doors. These will not fit our frame, so I am yet to find a solution? I'm really looking for advice on what I can do to a standard door to make it fit? Is this a problem that a joiner would not have...

I thought 762 was the standard? The only 726 I can find are fire doors which are too deep!?? Where can I find them?

How would you go about packing out the door frame? We've also just realised that the height is too short too ... 1960, instead of 1981 !!

Hey all, We had a "joiner" do some work in our bedroom and within that he was supposed to cut a hole suitable for a 27" or 686mm door. Long story short, the door frame has now been fit and has left a hole for a 726mm (28.5") door!! No idea what to do as it would mean cutting down 3"...

I've got one 5amp socket, which is controlled by a switch on the wall, I have two lamps that I want to be controlled by this switch. Is this possible/legal/safe with the extension cable posted earlier....

Hi Sunray, I have a similar problem to this post and you seem to know what you're talking about but I very much do not. I would just but this extension and plug my lamps into it. What do I need to do to ensure it is legal/safe? Thanks

We have had all of our walls skimmed and are looking to apply a couple of 'mist coats. I here the most popular is 70/30, so am thinking of doing that and have been given 10l of dulux white Matt emulsion so thought that may be a good place to start, however, the tin says do not mix, is this true...

Go easy on me... We are creating an ensuite in what is currently part closet/part bedroom. I.e knocking through a doorway and building a stud to section the room off. It won't be a particularly large space but we have decided upon a 800 x 1200 wetroom with a shower screen. The...

Do you know where I can find one that would be suitable, I've been asking around and I can't seem to find what you're suggesting?

Phat boy ... I'm looking at some GU10 and just came across your post about lightrabbit.com By far the cheapest I have come across for what I am looking for, so just wanted to double check that you would still recommend them as a company?

They do have a pir sensor, but I thought this was just a motion sensor, these will be lights by the front door so I want them to come one timed t night.

I have found some external lights that I really want outside the house but they are not dusk til dawn and as they will be connected to a switch, I can not add a timer. I just wondered if there was a solution that I could have these two external lights on a timer but also have a switch...

Hahahahahahaha .... Men!

Wow, don't take this the wrong way guys, i really appreciate the professional opinions i have recieved, but it seems some people's personal opinions are taking over their professional ones.... "Downlights in a lounge ... Eurghhhhh" I didn't post on the electrics forum for interior design...
