More than likely a problem with the lock mechanism so remove it and have a look to see if you can fix it, if not then just replace.

No problem, try to keep on top of the mould if you can, clean with diluted bleach.

If its original then highly unlikely there will be asbestos in it, please don't believe there was never asbestos used in plaster as it did get used but at a later period than the 1930s. But like I said before if your really worried then have it tested.

My eye sight must be bad as I don't see any hair in the face of that lump.

What's wrong with asking? I can clearly see the backing is plaster I'm pretty sure its the face of it that the OP is questioning, as I'm not there to see it then I again just presume its lime but not going to guarantee it.

As others have said, tile first then fix the door, I like to use masking tape over the marked drilling points to stop the drill bit slipping. I also only silicone the outside of the frame, so any water that finds its way in can easily drain out into the tray Would like to hear others opinions...

Is it definitely plaster? I didn't say for sure, its just my first thought without seeing it in person.

You could use a steamer to soften the adhesive and scrap off, sand away any remaining little bits then make good with filler. Be carful when working above the tiles as you don't want loads of water running down the back of them.

First thought is lime plaster. If your ever in any doubt then have it tested.

The cause will just be the level of moisture still within the garage. Probably will have to wait until the warmer months before sorting out any problems, I would be looking at using exterior paints if you haven't already done so as these will work against any mould growth on the colder spots of...

What adhesive did you use? And has the wall been skimmed?

The only cupboard paint I have ever used was international melamine and MDF paint. It was very good stuff, had the kitchen for 5 years after with no chips to the paint work. No idea if you can still get this or not but b&q sold it back then. You will need a melamine primer then paint in...

Hmmmm is it on a cold exterior wall? That's the only other thing I could think of, cold wall equals moisture being attracted to it. I would wipe away the paint with a damp cloth and try again personally, try and keep the area at a constant temperature for good measure.

Has the room been subject to high humidity a lot of condensation?

Its a resistor but no idea which one you would need. You use the coloured rings to make a calculation.

Hi, how much experience do you have with painting? It may just be a case of an uneven spread. Also make sure that every row of paint applied get blended in with the previous row.

Not sure how bright your lighting is but I find sometimes I have to turn these lights off when painting a ceiling as they can be blinding, they may get to hot a melt a bag, you could remove the part that actually holds the bulb and just leave the bulb hanging from the lamp holder. Or use a...

Probably best to cut them after. Just make a plan of the position of joists and wires.

12v halogens? Quick and easy to remove.

Never seen that product before, it all reads good and plenty of information, the only thing secret is the price. Im personally always willing to try different products, but its your house so your decision.
