Are you meaning to fit a Trickle Vent? If so measure the ge and screw holes if there was one previously , if not pick a size you want to fit...and pray the window doesn't have any metal reinforcing in it!. If its upstairs I'd be u screwing the opening sash and doing it on the floor. If its a...

Bear in mind that the op looks like they are in the US and films may be different to ours... and there may be local rules and regulations , especially if they are in a dreaded HOA!

Normally you wouldn't need to remove the handle but a lost key is an issue. You have already broken the handle so new handle required ( as screw snapped ) , unlikely the centre spindle is coming off that handle with ease if its rusted on that much ... unless there is a grub screw you have...

Window film needs an expansion joint. Normally if put on after the window is installed you will see a 3mm gap all the way round. I wouldn't be sealing window film with silicone or similar

As Crank alludes to , all profiles are of a similiar ilk. You will make your name by making a good window. If you make a poorly put together window, with rubbish hardware ,hard to fit beads, poor attention to cleaning welds etc then people will avoid you. Good, well put together product and...

@richsmif , you wait until you buy a premium door like Solidor ... trust me they are much worse, I try not to sell them anymore! ( both Doorstop and Solidor are owned by the same company for full disclosure) Most composite doors have issues would you believe!

If the hinge is pulling away from the frame , drill a screw right through the hinge and the frame, only way you will stop it. They dont use good enough screws.

It may be that the adjusting screw for the keeps are on a cam and thus move the keep completely in and thn out ( if that makes sense ). The keeps need to move closer to the inside of the house. Small adjustments is the key

Which camshaft are you thinking of adjusting ? I can only see hooks in ypur pics. Im guessing as you mention you've adjusted the keeps that you know full compression isnt actually achieved until the handle is pulled up and the lock engaged? ( you'd be surprised how many don't know this )

Unfortunately I don't think those can be adjusted.. @crank39 will know for sure. Failing that you may be able to toe and heel the door to lose the gap, plenty of videos on the likes of youtube

Ideally it either needs the hinge adjusting or replacing ( but the replacement will.depend on whether you change the correct part). Normally there is a small amount of adjustment on the pin ( I suspect it won't close this though ) . If you go down the line of ' seals ' then you may get away...

Ideally it should have had a knock on ( or wide outer frame ) as well , to keep it a little lower. Some would deem it ok if it was still openable

He is sort of right , yes without alteration the trickle vent would hit the reveal... rather than a knock on our supplier would use a ' wide outer frame' on the head of the frame to accommodate the vent, but sometimes this still won't be enough to clear the internal reveal. So the answer would...

Was the fitter the same person who surveyed them? If not its definetly not his fault, hes just fitted what he was given. Now , ill be honest there should always be an element of an expansion gap but personally I'd prefer to see, in this case, that the window went between the brick work...

If doing it with the lead over the cill, I'd seal under the lead where the cill meets the wall, effectively double sealing it

Best way and proper way would be removed the doors and wider cill, covering that gap up before the cill is fitted. Id say the lead tray wasnt big enough either. As goes fixing through the threshold , it's not ideal but providing they filled filled the holes with silicone before screwing the...

Totally agree with Crank, never seen self cleaning glass stay clean on its own

If you are after polished edges ( which looking at the location I'd be surprised if you aren't) , then yes 2 weeks is about standard turnround for rectangular/ square shapes, you mention a template, shapes do take loneger. A glass merchant should be able to cut mirror whilst you wait but unless...

Very few companies offer 6.4 now , to comply with Doc Q and PAS 24 it would need to be 6.8 Laminate anyway. Honestly 6.8 lami outer pane, 4mm Tough inner will be sufficient i would have thought. It all honestly depends how much you want to pay, triple glazing is much more expensive as you've...

Is this ground floor or first floor? Guessing first and also guessing that the wind can hit it fairly unobstructed ( eg across fields and no trees or buildings in the way? ) , then unfortunately with that type of product , yes the creaking and the glass movement would be expected. The pvc is...
