Ha, I do! It turns out, after more investigation, there aren't cams to adjust in this design. I'll have another go with the keeps, I can't quite figure out the direction to make the compression better with them at the moment - seems whichever way I try makes it worse or stay the same. Gonna be...

Hi all I'm having compression issues with my front door - big draft, bits of water getting in the track. You can feel it isn't tight enough when you shut it. Keeps - I've tried adjusting all of them (there's three) in each direction, but no luck. Managed to make it worse, then reverted, but...

Very helpful. Thank you

Haha, thank you. Both fine clockwise when off, or should one always be left anticlockwise/'open'? Would I be right to assume it works in tandem with central heating - i.e will only work properly when other radiators in house are on?

I haven't. Seems to be anti-clockwise, rather than clockwise, that worked previously. They're clockwise now (and have been all summer) and it's off.

Hi all I have a heated towel rail in the bathroom. I haven't really used it since getting the house, I'm now looking to but I'm a bit confused what each valve is for. It has two square valves without any markings on - the left one is very straight, the right is angled a little bit to the left...

Just returning to this thread with a quick question, if anyone can help. In a window setup like this (two windows sat on each other, essentially), where should drainage holes be? There seems to be... a lot, in the frame/s. - Upper frame - three in the top section of it, three in the bottom...

Hi all Firstly, apologies - my pictures seem to be uploading sideways, not entirely sure why... Secondly - I'm probably not gonna articulate this as well as I should, but I'll try. I have a back bedroom window which is essentially two separate windows on top of each other (I imagine there's a...

They're screwed in but very well hidden and the boards take some serious getting up. A mate who's handy has an electric saw (not sure what type, exactly) so yeah, I think like you say we're gonna cut out the section next to the door, or at least some of it. I'm not convinced that's actually...

Hi all I'm having issues with water getting into my kitchen door track (happening as I type) and I'm trying to address it in every way possible - I've cleaned out the weep holes (potentially having another drilled in) and I'm having a slightly loose rain deflector properly attached today. Also...

Makes sense. Thanks again

Thanks. When you say a drainage channel next to the frame - what form would that need to take? Struggling to think what that would look like.

Hi all I've had a couple of recent leaks through the bottom of my kitchen door. I've been investigating today - the internal weep holes were pretty clogged up - I've sorted that bit, and water now seems to pass through to the external weep hole. The other potential issue (just based on an...

I do have a camera at the back, Ring spotlight/motion. That's picked up nothing, but I dunno if you mean cameras that go under the decking, or just something out there that isn't motion detected but see's at night? I do have a Ring subscription, motion only to go back and watch I think, though

There are two boards I can get up (for drain access) but the rest are, difficult, to say the least. I did have a look under said two boards, will look again based on what you've sent there (thanks). I believe rats under decking isn't the most uncommon thing, though I can only see one entry...
