Oops no sorry just checked and he is Swindon area. I'm sure someone here is Devon/Cornwall area but cant remember who

I'm not sure on the ovlo style Astragal bars but they have such a large range of options it impossible to keep track of. https://www.smartsystems.co.uk/product/132/alitherm-heritage Also there is a good chap on here who may be in your area and able to help, DH Frames. I will see if I can send...

Have a look at Smart heritage range Not sure what you mean by internal ovlo Geo bars though. Geo bars are the ones just inside a glass unit Astragal bars are the ones both sides of the glass

Yes that would be a nightmare to get sorted into a frame and no dought would have no guarantees. Which is especially a bad idea when I have guys on my trade forums complaining that they have had to replace the same door slabs as many as 4 times in a single year. Seriously I would look for...

How closer match are you after, Eurocell's The Hartington is similarish. Would avoid Rockdoor, Loads of problems with bowing slabs and paint pealing recently

Common issue on large top hung windows. Only option really is to put in a slightly bigger gasket, Possibly just on the sides. Or new window in a different design

Actually it will probably be more than that couplers will add 10-20mm too so probably 170-180mm. When joined to a door window frames are usually heavy duty frame to match the door and for the strength.

Yes it will want aluminum couplers either side and above the door if using PVC to give it some strength

Thats a good price for the sidelights. Most greys should be Revonolt foil so probably the same but no guarantees when you mix and match makes. Also if its grey outside and white in again the whites would be different shades. You will want the aluminum couplers too to reduce flex on the frames

PVC no as it wouldn't fit in the welding machines. Aluminum maybe but would be alot more expensive

If Pvc straight on the concrete and leave expansion at the top. If timber pack up a bit so timber is separated from damp surfaces...

Moldings will be different and also different shades of white. I would get it all from the same factory

As above call the installers back. Dummy sashs are basically normal sash that are screwed shut. Will just need pulling in and re-screwing.

I'm sure I read somewhere white spirit is recommended for Pilk activ blue (its what I have been using)

35/45mm is the backset. There are hundreds if not thousands of different gearboxes of different sizes. Ideally you want to take the whole locking strip and looks for any codes printed on it. If not you have to do it purely from measurements. Mm perfect measurements! 1mm out and it probably wont...

You have the right approach, Some beads are just a are just a tw*t to get out. Try using 2 scrapers.. One you get the end of the bead out a bit get the 2nd scraper in deeper behind the bead

To be that loose sound like no screw at all or snapped screw. I would take the cylinder out to check Oval barrels sometimes have an additional security clamp that might be loose inside

Didn't ABS stop doing their cash back security guarantee? That did make me wonder if they know something we dont Ultron still do a cash back guarantee £1000 if someone breaks into your home via the cylinder. I don't know which is better but I like a company thats prepared to but its cash at risk

Assuming you looking for a new door ask SBD (secure by design) or you can go a little further and ask for PAS 24 rated. To go event further: Possibly even checking its a 3* or Diamond rated cylinder and maybe dog bolts on the hinge side too

Should be possible to "toe and heel it" over a bit and as notch said maybe get a few more mm from the hinges. I would say the double glazing guy you had over is rubbish, 10 min job for someone who knows what they are doing. That is assuming the above hasn't already been done and these setting...
