I bought a slim line LED batten which has two holes for screwing into the ceiling. It also appears to have a pre-broken hole for easier access to connect to the wiring. Am I correct in thinking that I should be able to remove the circular plate to thread the wires through? If that is its...

I am replacing my single 36W fluorescent light fitting with a slim line LED version. Now that I have removed the fitting I am left with the following wires: The wire on the left is ground the two wires in the middle were both connected to N and the wire on the right (with masking added...

My door has a Tubular Latch and as I understand from the following video the Latching Action of a Concealed Door Closer will ensure that enough force is applied in the last moments to ensure the door is fully closed. The Latching Action is a different speed from the Closing Action so it doesn't...

That seems to contradict what I have read on other sites: https://www.quora.com/What-is-Latch-Action-On-A-Door-Closer "This control allows the speed of the last few degrees of the door closing to be adjusted, so that there is [just] enough acceleration to drive the latch bolt over the strike...

Slightly confused by that. I found a version that says "Smooth controlled closing mechanism with latching action" and goes onto further to say "you can adjust the latching action on the part that goes into the frame. this means you can adjust the time that the latching action starts." When...

It turns out I have a Perkomatic 85R6 Hydraulic Concealed Door Closer already installed! This explains how the door is able to close by itself but it doesn't seem to support a latch action. If it I adjust the tension screw then the door simply closes with more force. Would it be possible to get...

I am wanting to put a surface mounted door closer on the pull side of my flat door. As you can see from the image below there is only about 1cm of door frame directly above my door which is not enough room for the regular arm to be attached. Any idea how a door closer could be fitted in this...

The door entry system opens the door to the flat building. Therefore the key safe will need to be located outside of the flat building and contain the keys to the building. This could then be a key safe everyone in my flat building could have access to. Since I own my apartment but not the...

What I meant was there is a service button that allows anyone access to the building between 6am and 10pm. This allows deliveries to take place when people aren't home. I am the landlord and I am adding a modification that only affects my apartment but it does affect how access is granted to a...

It looks like I could use a Raspberry Pi to read analogue signals, use python code to determine whether or not open the lock before redirecting all analogue signals back out. It looks like I need to redirect any further questions to the Raspberry Pi community.

My flat has an Urmet door entry system and I want to perform some automation depending on how the caller outside presses my buzzer . Essentially if I forget my keys outside of service hours I could hold my buzzer for 30 seconds and it will just let me in. Ideally more complex rules could be...

At what point would the fan not be considered gutless? I can replace the fan for a stronger version that can go all the way up to an airflow of 186,7 m³/h and static pressure of 7,63 mm H₂O Ideally something that wont simply stop all airflow like a shutter as I need to ensure hot air is...

I have a fan that blows 93,4 m³/h of air with a static pressure of 2,61 mm H₂O and I am wanting to ensure that air gets blown along the duct and out the vent. My current grid vent means my fan competes with the wind when it's blowing parallel to the vent. After some quick Googling I found...

The main reason for this fan is it's low dB rating so unless you can find a 240v fan that can be as quiet as 7.4 dB(A) then I am happy to work on a more complex project.

Hi, I am wanting to power a Noctua NF-S12A 12v fan from a Twin & Earth cable which I assume is 240v. For this to work I am also assuming I will need some form of transformer e.g. 240/12v 60w Electronic Transformer with terminal block that I will connect between the Twin & Earth cable and the...

Thank you all for the the great advice. So my shopping list looks like this: Pipe cutter ISO Tap Tail Adapter Compression Coupler Male

Thanks, never done this before so just wanted to run my idea past someone else. So could I buy one of these: http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/isolating-valve-with-on-off-handle-compression-fitting---15mm-700508 Looking at the picture on the Homebase website would it be the connection on...

Hi, I am wanting to replace my kitchen tap which I believe is a rigid fitting with a new tap that has a flexible fitting. The first problem I have is trying to remove my old tap and add connections for my flexible hose fitting. The current tap looks like this: IMAG0284 by ADarkDividedGem...

I just realised that last night after I had stepped back from the problem and had time to look at it form a different angle. Will go ahead and cover the current holes and create new ones in a different place and use GripIt Fixings to ensure the fittings stay in place.

In which case, if done right, there is no need for the silicone to be reapplied.
