    gate latch - making it more secure?

    a solution with no welding or drill would be idea but unfortunately the problem with the D lock solution is that it'd look unsightly (it'd stand out massively, whereas I wanted something that was quite subtle) although I do now wonder if there is anything that would be the right size to loop...

    gate latch - making it more secure?

    thanks for the ideas Pigeon85's idea might be the easiest and less obtrusive looking - two pieces of metal, each with a hole, on each side of the gate with a small lock should be enough to hold it closed without looking too out of place. thanks everyone a related question - does...

    gate latch - making it more secure?

    thanks for the ideas it's just a gate to a patio area - the fence isn't particularly high so could be jumped with relative ease but I just wondered if there was an easy solution to effectively close the gate off

    gate latch - making it more secure?

    the part on the left of the photo is attached to hinges and then a wall, the right part is a fence, mounted to the ground. The fence itself seems to be a galvanised steel or something. thanks

    gate latch - making it more secure?

    can anyone think of the best / most efficient / easiest way of making this more secure but with as little changes as possible (I appreciate some welding may be required) but also so it's not too obvious and hopefully facilitate some sort of lock: thanks in advance for any thoughts

    Electric shower - options for increasing pressure?

    the combi boiler feeds the bath/shower attachment to the bath. But the electric shower is in a different room from what I understand and from the other advice (above) - I don't know if that'd help as it seems its the electric shower that's lowering the pressure rather than low pressure being...

    Electric shower - options for increasing pressure?

    Thanks for the reply. And thanks to you all - it looks like swapping the current unit with the Mira Vie 10.8kW seems to be the easiest solution as it looks like it'd just need the RCBO switched over too, and presumably that'll all be an easy job for an electrician. The "Domestic...

    Electric shower - options for increasing pressure?

    I found a "Domestic Electrical Installation Certificate" for "Circuit designation" "shower" under "Circuit conductors: csa" / "Live (mm2)" is has "10" and for "cpc (mm2)" it has "4". Does that mean I could potentially have the unit switched over with relative ease to a 10.8 kW one? (i'm...

    Electric shower - options for increasing pressure?

    Thanks for all the replies. The current circuit has a Wylex B40 on it. The shower would have been fitted in the last two years and is a Mira Vie. Is it likely to have had the 10mm cabling? How big a job is replacing the cable if the thinner one has been used? Again thanks for the...

    Electric shower - options for increasing pressure?

    Thanks for the reply. Is there much actual difference with the through put of electrical showers? I know their stats show differences but is this likely to be noticeable if the whole unit is replaced? Yet again - thanks

    Electric shower - options for increasing pressure?

    Thanks for the reply. The only issue I see with that is getting the hot water to that shower - it's a new build property so can't imagine that they'll have given that any consideration although I may be wrong. What about electric "power showers" - I understand some have integrated pumps...

    Electric shower - options for increasing pressure?

    I've got a Mira Vie electric shower but the pressure isn't great at all. What are the options for replacing it or improving the pressure. (The bath has a shower attachment off the taps and the pressure on via (from the boiler) and with a similar shower head is excellent). Are there any...
