    Gate latch

    I don't follow. to make space for a post on the lock side, do I not need to shorten the gate by the same amount? That means the whole gate and braces need to be pulled apart. A lot of work I feel.

    Gate latch

    Fan has two pin plug

    I have a plastic pedestal fan that has a two pin plug. I’ve been using a 2 pin to 3 pin adapter. I was wondering if I can just replace the two pin with a regular UK plug? Is that safe to do? I assume the fan only has a live and neutral at present and didn’t know whether the adapter provides...
