I'd like to add a slight amendment to that , as trickle vents or other forms of ventilation ( piv,mhev, air bricks ) weren't mandatory in all habitable rooms incl kitchen and bathroom until June 15th 2022, after the death of a young child due to black mould hit the news headlines some years...

Im confused there Freddy. What do I need to get over? I agree that PIV systems ventilate and so do trickle vents, just PIV isnt a hole in new frame

Night vent catches wont pass either .. Honeslty most in the industry totally agree with you that trickle vents are pointless. As Freddie says its about ventilation, stems from the high profile case of a young child dying in a black mould ridden house in Leeds I believe...educating people...

If its only catching on the leading edge of the door , it will probably be lateral, in which case top and bottom hinge only but it may well be toe and heeling as that will do thw same thing

Guessing you meant Lockmaster lol, just make sure you get the right one , deadbolt or hook. As goes the door catching , it probably actually needs ' toe and heeling ' ( plenty of videos on YouTube) , but if you wish to adjust on the hinges , the two Allen bolts you can see on the hinge will...

Thats fair enough if you are paying well below market rates. Honestly, see if they will contact a ' window repair ' man, I really suspect its either the hinges or Glass packing that is the issue. If it were an initial fitting issue it would have been evident from day 1. If you dont want to...

I know you say its a rental and you dont want to repair them bit jeez the landlord should be! They probably just need the glass repacking , or new hinges as those could well be slighty warped ( that you cant see by eye ) . Worst case, the landlord should be replacing them with windows that...

Couple of things , depending on the width of the door the battens may well be packers to make it wide enough ans hopefully not because the door was not too narrow. Secondly, beware with Solidor , the door slabs are notorious for bowing Other than that , go for it

Does look more like the lock if there is no movement from the handle Is Is glazed internally? You maybe able to slide something similar to an Allen key through the rubber gaskets and if lucky be able to find the then cams , if it even has cams, as it may be shootouts @crank39 this is probably...

Could be either tbh. Handles are notorious for going wrong on the push button, it breaks up inside and jams it but as you say it could the lock. Is the handles unlocked ( silly question i know but has to be asked ) , can you feel any movement on the handle? Any clicking or cracking noises when...

Thing is we've seen it all before

Yeah we get that. But as has been stated could.be to do with not wanting to damage the render ... IF you didn't communicate that render was being repaired regardless installer has , in my opinion, from the pictures alone , tried not disturb the render , as its possible the old frames were only...

In that case .... talk to the installer, tell them what you think. We can't solve it

So you are saying the window is too narrow by 10mm? ( in your opinion ). We've not had any information on the height to know if its too short. Have you spoken to the installer about this? Looking at the pictures a 10-20mm Addon on the.width would have sufficed.

I'm not actually sure what you are trying to say, well I do sort of .. you think it was measured internally , rather than externally? What's the 10mm go to do with it? The sentence doesnt actually make sense to me You mention you are having the render repaired ( replaced fully ?) , did you tell...
