This Smooth side inside as a general rule on patterned units. There is one exception , and thats when you have decorative glass on the clear/smooth pane and a patterned second pane, then the decorative pane will always be the outside pane

Hopefully the holes you've drilled are into the outer chamber only. The other reason you can get water coming up the beads internally is a build up of pressure within the frame . This is much more prevalent on very wet and windy days though

Jeez that sounds like an advert and a half! Hopefully the moderators will see this!

And a good window/ doors fitter would put in more screws in the vertical! If we fitted with only 3 screws in the vertical we would fail an Inspection , at least five in the vertical is the accepted industry amount unless its a really short door, and there should always be screws within 250mm...

Id say looking at those pictures no it doesn't That joint can indeed be sealed , it would normally be welded, very unusual for it to be damaged ( if it actually is) , and the point about being overwhelmed is very very valid especially if it is leaking on very windy days , as the drainage would...

Oh totally agree about the potential sealing of the gap between cill and bottom of door when its base drainage...see it all the time especially from Handyman/Odd job type people who think they know where the leaks coming through and its a nice quick fix lol.

The drainage holes only use the outer ' chamber ' of the pvc thus preventing water running in else where . The drainage will either be face drain or base drain, I am unsure as to which you have . If gave drainage , check under the door is sealed correctly. If base drainage then there is a...

In theory the gasket should cover the corner so no water can get in there. It is possible the door isn't getting enough compression against the gasket when closed , allowing water to get past. Is the Door lock always engaged by pulling up the handle ? As full compression isn't achieved until...

That distinctly looks like laminate flooring the same side as the.drainage holes? If so then first biggest issue is that the drainage is draining into the building and the door has been fitted the wrong way round. If the blue circle is on the outside , at least some of the water is leaving...

Prise off the white cap on the end and you should see an Allen key hole. Will be one on all three hinges, they will.adjust the door laterally. Under the hinge on the frame is another Allen key which will adjust the height. Mark where the door is sitting with a pencil.in a few places before...

Take a pic of the hinges and post it up

If its not throwing the deadbolt far enough when thw door is open something is jamming it.. you say you put a new gearbox on it? Then I'd be looking at all the other keeps, all it takes is one to jam , or the linking bar to be slightly bent and it won' t be able to throw the deadbolt . Some...

With the door open try and operate and lock the door . If it locks then its an alignment issue

They say they have used ecopane, basically low e glass, the amount of themal insulation you will gain from.a unit that thick , in old sliding sash windows is negligible to be honest. Low e glasses work optimally at 12mm cavity and above

Oh absolutely agree its a botch, I would never have recommended putting dgus in there in the first place. At a push you could.have used ' stepped ' units but would.look awful unless you beaded the inside but that would make the glass area smaller

Seems like poor advice and poor fitting to me. There are ' Heritage 'units on the market which allow for smaller distances between the edge of the glass and inside face of the spacer bar , normally about 8mm instead of 10-12mm, but if using thin 12mm thick sealed units ( 4mm spacer bar ) ...

Were these new sashes? Were they double glazed before? If the answer to both of those is no , then it's unlikely you will get a better fit. Reason being is that the rebate for single glazing is much less than the rebate for double glazing, hence you are seeing the side of the spacer bar. The...

Completely agree Notch, modern wooden glazing is glazed dry.. from the pictures this does not look like modern wooden frames though

Hopefully OP can still angle the screws. Use 7.5mm concrete screws with a t30 torx head, drill a 6mm pilot hole in the frame and masonry ( can't stress enough you very well may need to angle the screws.) Use 120mm or 150mm, at the angle they should reach a wall
