Just to add to Cranks great right up, I generally find having the door open a little can actually help with movement. If doing it with French doors , i use a wooden wedge under the door sash to lift it prior , putting less strain on the top welds when using the glazing shovel (not that it...

Yeah just predill with an hss metal bit

It would all.dwpend on whether the frame is reinforced or not. If other screws line up and its only one them you normally can just screw it in if the frames not reinforced. As for size , anything smaller than the screw

Just be careful.if you think you are going to repair, as if either dimensions of that broken bit is greater than 250mm then , legally, it has to be a safety glass ( eg toughened ) What you've quoted above is what others have suggested , and any company that manufactures decorative glass will be...

No real benefits of the ' metal ' bar , other than matching existing or marginally cheaper usually. Re warranty, you'd need to ask as you have found a lot don't mention it Glazing- yeah I'd go easiest way for my personal property, just make sure you use a Low Modulus Neutral cure silicone (...

Ooh, that's good to know. Cheers @crank39 . Thankfully I dont come across too many at the moment

Could be the door needs toe and heeling correctly, hence the past adjustments.....

Got a picture of it? Normally Winkhaus are riveted on to the faceplate and unless you want to drill and re rivets, then you will need an entire locking mechanism, gearbox and faceplate

The differences in the spacers, between metal and fibreglass is the heat transference from one pane to another. As goes glazing. It really depends whether you have a warranty on the unit ( a lot of manufacturers won't warranty units in wooden frames). Glazing tape could be the butyl...

Taking the door of the hinge and refixing the hinge mounting bracket is the only way to do this ( other than a new door !), and even then you may need to relocate the hinge if there is damage to the mounting point

Oh jeez we are back here, thought this had been resolved one way or the other Regarding the Alta Rica, my wife quite likes it , definelty prefers it to Std Nescafe or Nescafe Gold, personally can't say as I'm a Yorkshire Tea man myself Regarding the potting shed, without rereading all 7...

Honestly... only you can really answer that. If it was a window I had bought and fitted for my own house, and I damaged it, yes I'd live with it. However you will have paid good money for a new window , and it is damaged, either by the fitter or supplier/manufacturer, then no i wouldn't be...

Simple answer is would you accept it if it was on a car ,for example.? You are paying for a new product. You have spotted damage to that product. You have every right to request it be repaired properly. The end of the day its only a new sash

Crank will be the one if anyone recognises it, I certainly don't It maybe a case of buying a mullion endcap off the likes of Ebay and just getting it to fit. It's unusual to see the whole cap missing, normally its the thin plastic at the bottom thats broken ..does make me wonder if the...

Is there a gap at the bottom of the actual door? My suspicion, looking at the pictures, is that it is the plastic ' collar ' that has lifted up , rather than the actual hinge. This may also be contributing to the ' bent ' hinge pin. Looks like an Avocet hinge to me from the limited pictures...
