I appear to be locked out! My flat has only one door which is a UPVC door (not sure of manufacturer over 10 years old). Normally you push the handle up and turn the key to lock it. To unlock just turn the key and push handle down. It locked fine this morning but now, if I turn the key...

Not really one of my disasters but the chappie involved thought it was!!! I work as a newsagent and happened to, yesterday, be doing a paper-round. I got to one house and as i pushed the paper through the letterbox, felt a bit of resistance. Assuming the end of the paper was merely caught on...

Just realised I never posted a reply to this!!! :oops: It turned out that the bleed valve wasn't removable!!! In the end i used a tiny drill bit to drill three or four indentations next to each other along the centre of the snapped screw. A quick fiddle with a model makers file made them...

Hi, Not sure if you cna help but if you can't no one can!!!!! I ahve just moved into a flat which has had a lot of decorating started but none finished. One of these is the kitchen floor which is bare floorboards that have been painted. I have found int he cellar the tin of paint used...
