If the key retracts the latch then you can use a split spindle. Some have 2 spindle holes and use offset handles, if you have only one then you need to make sure you get the right spindle for it. Try and find the make of the lock and get in touch with the company. :)

An A rated window will typically have a combination of either Planitherm A or Pilkington K ( there are others ), with or without low iron glass. Argon filled units and a warm edge spacer. A lot depends on the profile as to the make up of the glass and not knowing what they are offering I can't...

Give http://www.duffells.com/ a try, they have a lot on their site. There are lots of others with a bit of searching especially as you know the lock makes. Ebay as well is worth a try. Good luck

Sorry not on the ce marking, just checked ours :|

What you've had is salesmen, they know little or nothing about what they are selling and by the sounds of it, selling itself! The windows should come with an energy certificate also they should be ce marked (legal requirement ) which will have the energy rating on it. Ask to see an example...

Our old fitting guide, has a bit about toe and heeling. http://media.wix.com/ugd/972923_20e4f28d1156760a2fc761a6bdb3d647.pdf

Got to be some of the worst fitting I've ever seen. They obviously didn't have a clue what they were doing and not helping experienced double glazing fitters. I've always said that there should be a proper qualification for fitters and not the half arsed NVQ they used to give away. Feel...

If it's new build your doors will be in the planning permission so there's no need to spend out the extra on using a certified company if you or your builder are confident in fitting them. Your only benefit will be letting the fitting company take responsibility for making sure they are up to...

Toughened glass is the only thing that will apply unless there your main entrance then a mobility threshold would be needed. Apart from that they look fine :)

Any excuse for buying new tools is ok with me, even you needing one might be enough for me to go out and buy one :lol:

Excellent :D

Does look as if the screws come out from the inside of the frame, A bit bizarre because they normally are visible so you can take the meeting stile off. The metal piece is an adaptor that keeps the meeting stile straight. These normally clip into the edge of the door and are then secured, some...

:roll: Mitre bond is a brand name.

The screw is behind that centre stile I'm afraid and it will need to come off. There should be some screws holding the stile on, normally on the side you can see but I can't see any in the pictures. Have a look top downwards ( if that makes sense) to see what's holding it on. If you can do...

I pretty much agree with Dishman on this. Your best bet is to go for recommendations, anyone can fit a window badly so see who has the best recommendation. Profiles, again they are much the same now days with lead free becoming the norm. Veka are a long established brand, Inliten are...

No worries. Ebay will be your friend for sourcing new parts just make sure your old ones match in dimensions to the new one, a lot of sellers give sizes and details so it should be easy. Good luck :D

Mitre bond - Cyanoacrylate adhesive Super glue - Cyanoacrylate adhesive :?

Tbh I wouldn't worry about the cost, more who is fitting it. Yes we can all get things cheaper but even the most expensive window fitted by an idiot would be worthless. Ask around and see who has the best reputation and even to the extent of who are their best fitters. Any company worth...

Tinting or obscure glass? New glass would cost more but would last longer. Covering with film would be cheaper but won't last as long. Double edged sword I'm afraid :?

Best way to see if the door has dropped is to close it and pencil mark the corners then you can see how far, if at all, it is out. If it's ok then I would adjust the height of the top keep ( just unscrew it and move it up or down), there's not a lot of rocket science in putting a door together (...
