from an insurance point of view,both leafs should be treated as seperate doors and be fitted with bs3621 rated locks on each as handyhands has suggested.

the safest way when snapping is to remove the handles,have someone steady the cylinder on one side with molegrips or similar whilst you snap off the barrel from the other,this makes it less likely that you'll damage the lockcase in the door,also makes snapping much easier,make sure you remove...

if its an aluminium door then its possable the door may have to come off,the mech unscrewed and removed by sliding it out the door?on upvc doors they tend to come off the face of the door and its usually straightforward. do any of the handles here look familiar...

depends on the type of hinges,some adjust better than others.there should be adjustment that allows the back of the door to sit off the face of the frame if that makes sense,its usually on the top of the hinge on the frame side and is a concentric adjuster via allen key.if your unsure then try...

if i remember rightly the remote bolts top and bottom dont come to bits,you could remove the whole mech and try flushing the cases out with wd40 or similar and see if that helps. if in doubt replace it,the mila are at the cheaper end of the upvc locks and would work out cheaper than calling...

press the f8 key several times (once every second is enough) as the pc boots and you will enter a menu screen,choose safe mode,it usualy takes longer to boot in this mode so be patient. the pc will work ok without the driver as windows loads a default one,the graphics might be a bit blocky...

bsod=blue screen of death,basically the pc is at such a state that only switching off at that mains will work. try starting the PC in safe mode,uninstall all drivers and re boot the PC,once back into normal mode give it another go with the drivers. the main file you need to uninstall is the...

does the lock work with the door in the open position,try throwing the handle up and locking when the doors open,if its ok then the strikers/door need some adjustment,if not then it could be the cylinder or the whole mech. remove the cylinder,look for a screw on the open edge of the door at the...

yes thats the most proffesional way of doing it,use the legge bathroom lock with the bathroom handles (or similar) in the link, check the size of your existing lock btw,there are 2 sizes,64mm and 76mm measured from the edge of the door to the centre of the handle spindle in the lock so you get...

this is where we bought them from when i worked as a locksmith in south manchester,not sure if they supply direct but they could always direct you to a stockist in your area.the mounting kits retailed for about £40+vat http://www.nigelrosems.co.uk/

your local masterlocksmiths will be able to get you a rim mounting kit for a chubb 3g114 3" lock,there black hammerite finish and look the part on old doors. they are coach bolted through the door and the same for the striker on the frame as also suggested bolting a block onto the door and...

it can easily be done on any nightlatch really,only problem is that then it becomes a possable fire hazard as you shut off a means of escape,possably even breaking the law depending on the location of the door? dare i ask the reason for this idea?

is it the nylon bush that the handle fits into inside the main handle backplate? if i remember rightly the hoppe handles are riveted over to fit them to the backplate so you wouldnt be able to fit a new one anyway. i may have the wrong end of the stick though?

the faceplate for the handles unclips/pops off the top and bottom plastic bits which are bolted thru with screw and nipple arrangement.when you install these handles you bolt them thru then literally knock the faceplates onto the plastic bits. in the past ive used a wood chisel faced upside...

that makes sense.i'll leave it be..thanks for the advise

also,take the handles off as this will also help when removing the barrel especially if its a tight fit. theres a lot of configurations on the lockmaster range so you'll need to take your existing one in to a supplier to get the correct one, expect to pay £85 upwards +vat for just the mech

there usually just flat or cross head adjusters,have you looked on both ends ? if its a really cheap closer it might not be adjustable but ive raraley seen any that arnt adjustable

i have a picture but dont know how to put it on here. the purlins run along the length of the loft i think and theres always one either side ?? this beam runs at 90 degress to what i think is the purlins and isnt attached to them

its the latching speed that is obviously set too high,theres usually 2 adjusting screws on the closer,1 does the closing speed then another does the final part,the latching speed if your unsure which is which it is far better to turn the adjusters in then turn each one out 1/4 of a turn at a...

yes very true.
