Where would I put them? Do you mean drill through the steel plate into the woodwork? There's no room anywhere on the moveable part of the plate for screws ???

I've just returned to this problem...so I've adjusted the hinges on the door at it looks straight - even spaces all around it. In order for it to close properly I needed to adjust the latch plate using an allen key - if I turn the top two keys anti-clockwise (to move the plate to the left) the...

Thanks for that. Yes it seems to have caused much mirth here but I was really no wiser re. what to do with it. I've since found similar devices advertised on the web, but have no idea whether any of them have any merit. The one that I found must have been bought by the previous owner of my house...

I've just found a magnetic device in a cupboard with "Scalebuster" written on it. I'm guessing that it's some form of de-scaler for mains water pipes. I attach a couple of images. Does anyone know how it's supposed to be used? https://imgur.com/a/UEINHpt

OK...really dumb question...I'm trying to the open the terminal block on the underside of the hob and I can't work out how it opens - see photo. I've tried pulling up on the triangular tab (top right), but it's not budging and I'm a bit nervous of snapping it off. Has anyone opened one of these...

Ah OK thanks for that. What I could do is put it on the gas hob, which should provide enough space underneath for the air to circulate?

We've just had a new AEG 4-ring 7kW induction hob delivered, but it can't be installed until our new kitchen is fitted (probably 4-6 weeks away). We currently have a gas hob. I'd like to check that the new hob is working, so that we can address any issues with it with the retailer before work on...

I have a 15+ year old Ikea Billy bookcase which has open metal sides. The shelves hook over the horizontal brackets at each end of the shelving unit (see photos). I was wondering where I might be able to buy additional shelves for this sort of unit - Ikea no longer sell them - or just brackets...

I've had a look at the hinge - photo here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/f2md3GsSAUkrETUr9 The allen screws accessible from the side allow me to adjust the alignment of the door when I loosen them. I have pulled the door up as hard as I can and tightened these screw, but the latch still doesn't go...

Yes the hinges on our door have needed adjusting recently but the door is now level in the frame (at least it looks level), but it is still not closing properly :0(

Our UPVC composite front door does not close properly. It has a Yale Keyfree Lock. If you push the door to close it, the latch hits the strike plate and does not go into the box. I've tried adjusting the allen screws on the strike plate, and can resolve the problem for a short period using this...

Thanks for the info. I've just had a look at the allen-shaped pin, and because it's inside the cylinder I don't have a socket anywhere near small enough to grip it. Any imaginative ideas for what I might use?

Our UPVC front door isn't closing properly because it is lop-sided. Viewed from the inside, the top left edge of the door catches with the frame when the door is closed, while there is an air gap of a couple of millimetres in the bottom left between the edge of the door and the frame. Each...

Will a 2.5mm cable be adequate for a 4kW oven?

I'm looking for electrical cable to connect a double oven to a 32A supply. The oven is rated at 4kW. Can anyone advise on whether this would be suitable? It's longer than I need, but the shortest that I could find in Screwfix (which is my nearest outlet)...

Just to confirm: my existing BG Smart Thermostat receiver has the following connections: - Permanent Neutral - Permanent Live - C (on terminal 1) - CALL (on terminal 3) Would C correspond to "Common" and "CALL" correspond to "Heating on" on the Hive single channel receiver?

This is what the existing wiring looks like from the current BG Smart Thermostat receiver. The cables are currently connected to terminals 1 & 3 (marked "C" and "CALL"). Would the "C" correspond to Common and "CALL" correspond to "Heating On" on the Hive receiver?

Thanks for the info. My boiler is a Worcester Bosch Greenster 30CDi. Any idea whether that model requires a volt free switch?

I've just bought a "HIVE Active Heating & Hot Water Kit" from Currys (Product code: 176309). The box says "for when you have a separate hot water tank", but I don't have a hot water tank as I have a combi boiler. Does this mean that I can't use this kit with my boiler? I bought it to replace a...

Perfect - thanks!
