    Replacing a Euro Cylinder with Thumbturn in a Composite Door

    Thumbturn should only be around 5-10 degree off vertical not 25. Put pressure on outside cylinder face while turning thumbturn and you should be able to get it lining up. @tlan.

    Narrow door latch suggestions please

    Don't think you will get them to fit in the centre. 65-50/2 = 7.5mm. Door checks are normally 12mm therefore the rose is liable to foul the check. But here you go different backset sizes here. At all cost the door margins will be different because of the doorcheck. @tlan...

    Best way to support rafters against a wall

    Extend the existing ridge across to the steel, drop in 2 new valley rafters and then infill with jack rafters. No need for extra steel or hangers. One point of note the valley rafters will be deeper than your other rafters if that makes a difference. @tlan.
