Hi. When I depress my handle, the two hook bolts don't go in far enough, only by about 3mm, but enough to stop the door opening. You have to put all you body weight down on the handle to get that last 'click' to open the door. Its now getting to the point that my wife and kids cannot open the...

Not an option. 2nd floor. Got a mixer tap connector and have just watered the garden and cleaned the slabs beautifully. Loads of pressure, hose works good, thanks to you all for your help.

Yes there is. My kitchen taps are on the mains but I have a mixer tap that the connector won't fit to. I have a copper pipe coming from mains to toilet cistern. Could I fit some kind of valve/connector for the hose pipe to it?..

Thanks efl. Sorted now.(the photo that is! Not the light!)

20160110_113916 by cammy2207 posted 10 Jan 2016 at 12:29 PM Hi all. I have new floodlight. It is live all the way. But nothing from the bulb connector terminals.

I have heard of icynene, which seems perfect. I wondered if there are any similar products that can be done diy style or any other suggestions/solutions. It is to seal off smell coming up through services cupboard around pipes. Thanks...

Yes it turns to dust/crumbs with a squeeze between fingers.
