I am leaning towards something like this. The old frond door site promote this:

The metal bars are just screwed in. Ideally I would like to remove. I will find a company and discuss.

I feel the whole door is solid wood and has gaps so the insulation of a small window is neither here or there. Does it make a massive difference? Can you get double glazing that looks like old glass (texture)?

So from the outside of the door you have the leaded trational glass, then a spacer, the security glass (single pane), then the glazing beading to hold it all together? Or is it attached to the back of the door. Wouldn't that look terrible? I guess you compromise the look on the inside, but...

I thought about this. Call me a traditionalist but I quite like the old look. Why would you favour double glazing?

Do you think replace the who leaded glass unit? New for old replacement? What do you mean by reinforced glass backing? Encapsulate in double glazing or basically sticking lead onto a hardened glass pane?

It’s 4 separate panes. My worry is the lead is cracking in places and feels brittle. Not quite sure if the leading needs replacing too.

I want to renovate my front door. I am comfortable with preparing filling and painting the door but am not sure how to replace broken glass and lead. Can anyone outline the steps?

Ah, well it still works, just the lock is a little sticky and I wanted a new look. Guess I will stick with it for now. Thanks for your help.

I am struggling to find an exact match. Can anyone help. These are the dimensions. 89 mm fixing centres 15 mm spade width 17–18 mm spade projection

I need to replace this window handle but it does not seem the same as 'standard' pvc window handles. Can anyone help? Thanks, Matt

Nope. Really just trying to understand the consideration to assess whether it is worth it or not. Thanks

Why does my kitchen waste keep blocking? It frees up with a quick plunge but I find I need to do at least once a week. If your wondering, it is propped on some wood blocks as it came loose and was leaking a while back.

How do I wire this to a socket? Electrician installed a new point but wire is a loop. Said he would come back to put the socket on but I want to do it now. I’m confident with wiring plugs, switches etc, just not seen a loop like this and need some confirmation what to do. Thanks

Would a jigsaw work?

Thank you. I tried drilling / chipping out the surrounding mortar but these things are in deep and have a bend that 'hooks' in. I am thinking the easiest cut would be where I have sketched the red lines. So the plan is to use an angle grinder with a thin metal cutting disc and eye protection...

These security bars are cemented into the motor / bricks. How best to remove them?

You have to cross your arms!

Could be a good place for a light switch but would be fine on the left.
