TBH my wife uses it more as I'm night shift. I never had an alarm at my old house and though nothing about it, but when I moved in to this house and it had the alarm I started to get used to it. I have not used it for a while (due to the above), but now it works again it will be used. My...

Hi all, I took the front of the keypad. All the contacts worked on the inside of the unit. I took the membrane of the front of the unit and some wee plastic lugs came away, i used strong sticky plastic as a new membrane and fixed the wee lugs. Printed out a new front cover and stuck that on the...

Can I change the hall PIR for a door contact sensor bearing in mind the hall PIR is the PIR that has the time delay for switching off the alarm. If so is it just a mater of re-routing the wire to the door and changing the PIR or is it more involved. The reason for this is the cats. Is there a...

Thanks Alan, I understand, you guys and breezer know more about alarms than I do and I really do appreciate you help (including breezers). It is the "SET" button that stopped working. I took the front of the unit and I think I can repair it (for how long no one knows), but I need to go to...

You might have a problem with repairs. If you rip it by mistake the repair could look ugly. If in 5 years you get fed up with the surface, how hard will it be to remove? You gotta think of all these things, but if you still want to go ahead then like has been said, make sure the walls are in...

what type of gate. wooden, metal. Got a link to a picture of the gate. Have you had a look in the screwfix catalogue, they do some gate hardware.

I wouldn't say that, this forum has been helpful to me. yes sometimes you don't get the answer your looking for, I know if you check any my threads, but don't get personal, take on what people are saying and if you need more help or disagree let the forum know. This is a real good forum. I...

Actually I have a Panasonic TV and video upstairs from 1989 and they are still in great condition, better than the new ones asda or tesco are selling. As for the alarm, YES it might end up in the bin, but not until I'm convinced that I can't fix it. Thats the thing these days, if...

Mines not in the bin so your wrong on that count. How many other counts are you wrong on then?

Thats better, you say thousands where made, so there should be some kicking about some where, not necessary the bin. Most things are made cheaply these days. Lets take it windows XP is cheap crap junk but 94% of computer users use it, that should be in the bin like my ADE alarm and while...

Looking at other forums most experienced fitters would go for the hard wired. Seems to be a lot of false alarms with the wireless type.

Its such cheap junk that in 12 years I have never had 1 false alarm and in the 3 years before that my parents never had a false alarm. Does anyone else know where I can buy cheap junk because if thats cheap junk I want a cheap junk car and a cheap junk house. I'm clad I never got the same...

If something has gave over 12 years of trouble fee hassle, then why should it go in the bin? I never noticed about the PM on this forum. All the other forums that I use have this facility. I will just have to keep looking I suppose.

Hi, I have a ADE Concept system alarm and I need the keypad as mine is nackered and I can't seem to find a replacement anywhere. If you have a spare one please email or PM me. Cheers gary.

Went to B&Q to get the door facings when I saw some skirting that would do a better job. The facings are rounded on both edges which would mean that the tile would butt up to a rounded edge but the skirting is only rounded at one edge giving me a square edge to butt the tile. Also the shirting...

I am getting a tiler in to tile my bathroom. All the fixing and fittings are of, the door facings are of as well. Now my question is this, Do I put the new facings on before the tiles or after? The tiles are 60x30, so after the adhesive is on the tiles will sit proud or flush with the...

Local authorities are charging for more these days. My rubbish bin now emptied every 2 weeks, £15 charge for large up lifts. I don't know about the planning department, but I think they would charge foe what ever they can. Now that the lib dems are out I will wait with baited breath and see...

Hi par1sons, you can use bolt down post supports for the decking supports. http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=57289&ts=91866 or METPOST SUPPORT B&Q If these are to big, you could fabricate your own with galvanized steel. I would recommend putting some pebbles in...

I live in a 1960 john lawrence house in the Glasgow suburbs. The outside walls have been "pebble dashed", what I would like to know is, can I wash the rendering with a jet spray ?. My next door neighbor's walls are really clean and mine look dirty in comparison. They have lived there for 9 years...

Hi, how did the job go. Did he do a good job or leave it well alone.
