I have replaced 2 light fittings which are serviced from 1 switch. 1 light is not working, they were both ok before I replaced them, and I had actually replaced these ones before no problem, why?

I have fitted the new handles, but there is now half a hole at the side of the new handle where the old one was.

If only I knew, they are almost the size of the back plate of the old door handle. Moved in three years ago and am still updating property. I thought maybe a wood putty would do the trick?

It's actually the hole where the original handles were fitted, about 2-3 inch hole. They are hollow interior doors and will be painted.

I am fitting some new door handles previously there were round mortice knobs and now I am fitting square which leaves a big hole at the side of the new handle, what is the best way to fill it please?

Have now fitted all but one, it only has one earth wire and cannot be split, any suggestions please?

Thank you

Does the earth wire need to be connected to the switch plate and the back box or only the switch plate. I have found the earth wire connected to the metal box.
