with the externally beaded windows you have to cut the double sided foam tape with a knife first, then before refitting the glass you have to fit new tape.

to be honest i couldn't say i do often change these locking mechanisms but it's all supplied by the company i work for. If the door is only 4 years old see if it still has any warrenty left on it most doors have between 5 and 10 years on them, might be worth a try!

it does sound as if the locking mechanism has failed, with the handles off, take out the sqaure bar then look where the square bar goes through. you'll probably find this is cracked/broken. Probably will need the locking mechanism changing (they aint cheap!) has the door ever been difficult to...

I did watch the video, seemed fine to me, but then again i've never hung a door before, well not an internal one. i've just purchased my first house so i'm doing as much research as possible!!

not as bad as the one i did with a stanley knife! #dont look if you are squeemish!# http://www.flickr.com/photos/derv1980/533432226/

sounds like the shootbolt has come detatched from the gearbox (thats where the handle screws into) i have managed to get windows with similar problem open by de-glazing the window, then giving the free part of the opener a 'bump' with my hand and this usually gets the window open. then it's a...

i think it's part of the unit.

back up your photos onto cd or dvd, then delete them off the computer, might also be worth making 2 copies in case u lose or break one disc. takes a while to fill up a hardrive, i have probably got a few thousand photos on mine.

it's charlie! we used to have one at my old place of work.

It can happen but it's quite rare. I went to a job once and exactly the same thing had happened. I did notice from the pane that was still intact that the glass unit was a tight fit in the frame. I can only presume that with expansion/contraction of window frames, that as they contract again...

it is likely that the shoot bolt (seen in the last pic) has become detatched from the gearbox (where the handle screws into) they are a pain in the ass to get open! sometimes it's possible to de-glaze the window, then with the palm of your hand 'bump' the window, sometimes this will work the...

we had a similar thing with a conservatory sash window, the film had stuck fast too. i used a blunt scraper to carefully remove as much as the film as possible, you can then use fine wet and dry sandpaper to try and illiminate any scratches, the frames can dull a little but i have heard bees wax...

i read it! its very well made, bit better than mine, lol http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y1/derv1980/install/ if you are looking for a good audio forum http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb/ more based at car audio but the principles are the same.

they are really bad for this, friend of mine is having a kitchem from there, and had the same problems, fortunately she's as eagled eyed as you, they quoted £300 for stripping the already stripped kitchen, and wanted £60 for moving a gas pipe even though they have no corgi registered fitters to...

to be fair i dont think it makes a great deal of difference whichever way you put them in. i dont know about your units but the ones from my work, the pane which faces the inside is 1mm thicker than the outside one.

nightmare, i had a job similar to this, french doors locked shut, i managed to wind the door hinges high as possible on locking side, managed to pull bottom cam out of the keep plate and wedged some packers between the 2 doors then used a hammer and screwdriver on the bottom cam to throw all the...

these are a bit of a bugger! remove the handle and see where the square bar fits into, somtimes that bit splits and the square bar simply spins round in it, if you are lucky you might be able to turn it with a large flat bladed screwdriver. If not and its only locked on one side somtimes de...

some windows have the date stamped onto the spacer bar inbetween the glass units.

may sound daft but check the battery terminals as well.the clios have these awful things that dont clamp on very well.mine after being sat for a few hours then started would have a poor idle and sometimes stall, cleaned up the terminals and tightened them up and it sorted it.
