Thanks for the reply. Ok the layout is as follows, entrance door with switch on wall to the left. The JB is half way along the garage roof beam approximately 4 to 4 1/2 m away from the switch. One of the new proposed lights would be in between the switch and the sensor pre-existing light and...

Evening all. I would be grateful for a little guidance. In our garage we have in centrally mounted fluorescent light. It works off a conventional single gang light switch and it is fed from a 2 amp 4 terminal JB. There are a pair of T&E feeding the JB. What I would like to do is to replace...

I try to leave the outcome in case it helps others. To be precise I user a wrench to adjust the angle of the 2 ears that the latch screws on to on the mounting plate until I found the angle at which the lock no longer binds.

A couple of tweaks to the mounting plate and all good again

Yes understood. It was working before though. Only difference is that we have had builders on site. I wonder if they banged it or something. I’ll try and adjust those tabs a bit and see

I guess it’s a game of trial and error to find the right position for them then?

Thanks for the reply. The place hasn’t been moved. It’s just the two little tongues that have the threads for the mountain screws have been adjusted. I hope this doesn’t mean I need to get a new night latch

Hi All. This lock used to work well until one day we tried to open the front door and the nightlatch fell off leaving us locked out. We gained access and found the nightlach had come off its mounting plate. We put it back on and noticed it didn’t sit flush to the door on one side. We adjusted...

Last night somebody put the window through on our front door. We have no idea why we think it might be connected to my son’s ex-girlfriend and her jealous boyfriend but we have no way of proving it. In any case, we need to remove the glass and replace it with plywood on the internal side. The...

All good worked perfectly, thank you very much although I wasn’t able to get the same kind of light switch I used the plastic white two gang to way until I can get the right style

Ok found a switch if someone could help me understand how to wire it I’d be grateful. One circuit for ceiling light one circuit for wall lights. I suppose I’ve got to find the corresponding pairs red and black with red sleeve.

Lights are conventional filament at the moment but will change to LED later. Stripping with steam so yes suspect Will add pigtail from wall box to switch once I find a shop open today that has them in stock.

Okay, I’ll go and get another switch this morning. There is earth Going To The box in the wall but I noticed there was no earth going from the metal box to the switch itself and assumed that it would be earthed through the metal screws. It did strike me as odd that there was no earth going to...

Yes thanks for the confirmation. 2 Gang 2 way ? Red to com but how to wire the black with red sleeve please ?

Hi all, we recently acquired a new house and have been stripping wallpaper yesterday when trying to switch off the wall lights The switch began arching and burning which was visible from the back of the light switch which was disconnected from the wall. There are two switches one controls the...

Thank you, the water inlet on this one we have is from below - directly under the unit but the T80Z is left or right - will that still work ?

Thanks all, another unexpected cost - such is life. Would the T80Z or SI be a direct replacement or any other that you can think of ?

Hi All, We just bought a new to us house - big regrets now - and it has an 8.5KW Cara fitted The flow is good on cold but when turned up to anything resembling warm there is only a trickle of water coming from the shower head. I compared it to my mothers Triton T80 and she has decent flow even...
