Every day is a school day! Thank you for the detailed explanation

More advice please. I have door that when closed is locked from the outside. It’s dangerous and you can easily lock yourself out. Is this an issue with the barrel and a replacement barrel would solve or is it a multipoint lock issue?

Full story, the client is infirm and family can’t access the property as she leaves the key inside the door (in her mind so nobody she doesn’t know can access). Catch 22 I know but hoping there is a solution out there amongst you and experts

Client is elderly so looking for a more “foolproof” solution ideally

Am I overthinking it? Is it as simple as that?

Dilemma, is there a upvc door lock on the market that allows it to be unlocked with a key from the outside while there is a key on the inside? I don’t want a thumb fitting on the inside as in theory this could be accessible via the letterbox. (the client wants the “peace of mind” of a keyhole...

I see this thread is quite old. In the meantime has anyone come across 10mm radiator pipe covers? I can find 10mm black collars but not the pipe covers! Or is painting the copper pipe still the only option available? Thanks

Not that I’m aware of. Nothing in the instruction booklet. How do you release yours?

Hi I’m looking for advice please. I have lowered the “shelf” to insert the extraction in order to use the planer. However, I cannot raise it back up to engage the safety catch. I have sprayed WD40 on all 4 threaded legs but no joy! Any ideas?

Sorry no. It’s a side gate for a stone cottage ( house wall on one side and 4ft boundary wall on the other.

I’m fixing gate posts for a single 5ft picket gate both onto stone walls. What fixings do you recommend plz?

I agree but ideally I don’t want the membrane to be visible

Great! Thanks for confirming my hopes.

Hopefully a simple question ….. Currently I have a fan with a timer that works off the light pull cord. I want a fan with a timer and humidistat where the fan goes on with the light and off with the timer (same as it does now) and also on and off driven by the humidistat. Can I simply swap the...
