Good thinking. I have seen pictures of the double ball catch online. I think they are well clever and will probably provide the sturdiness I am looking for. I will try some out tommorow. Many thanks again for the advice.

There will be 2 doors with a small open gap between them.

Thanks for responding. I had thought of magnetic catches at first but I figured that the magnetic ones would only be suitable for smaller cabinet type doors. I weighed each door and they are both 7.7kg I found these Hafele magnetic catches...

Hi, I am fitting two new 533x1981x35mm plywood doors onto a wide storage cupboard on my hallway. The old doors were held in place by steel hinges top and bottom. One door was secured with a sliding barrel bolt into the top of the cupboard and the second door was secured into the...

I realise that this is slightly late. but I stumbled across this thread and realised I hadn't returned as promised to update on my experience. Thinking better late than never... Here goes I did drill the joist & for the benefit of anyone else that might be interested here is what I used: A...

I see where your going with the 3 Core + Earth suggestion. However in my situation the ceiling rose sits directly underneath the part of the kitchen with a flat roof meaning the only way to run new cable between the switch & rose would mean cutting a path into the ceiling then having to get...

From further reading, this post in particular "kitchen cabinet lights". I can see that the method I described above for wiring the cabinet lights to the 2G switch is as I envisioned. But since these lights draw such small amounts of amps I am still unsure if it is ok for them to be...

:oops: Sorry people completely contradicting my original post I am now thinking of connecting my under cabinet lights to the main lighting circuit and replacing the 1G main lightswitch with a 2G lightswitch. which will control both the ceiling light and the under cabinet lights. A neater...

:idea: Ah I see what you mean. Thank you very much. Now if only the instruction manual could have been as helpful :D Do the connection blocks get wrapped in anything like insulation tape or something to protect searching fingers from accidently brushing against them? I will not be...

Hi, I am remodelling my kitchen. On one wall I intend to have a horizontal "feature" cabinet which uses recessed low energy cabinet downlights these: Surface Undershelf Lighting Kit 3 x 7W From reading other posts on this site I plan to have a single flex outlet positioned just above...

OK thanks to everyone for your comments. I will get a handful :lol: of these 25mm Bosch Cobalt hole saws they sound like they are just the tool I need for this job. A bit pricey but if they work they'll be worth it! Will sleeve the pipe in some scrap 22mm copper pipe I have laying around...

I am thinking about using a radiator cover and would prefer not to be able to see any pipework if possible. I'll try drilling through the beam first. But as an alternative i'd probably do this instead of my original plan.

Blimey that was quick! I'd much rather try to drill 2 x 25mm holes through the steel beam seems much more elegant and as you say avoids the possibility of developing airlocks. I just assumed that I shouldn't/couldn't since the original installer literally went out of his way to avoid doing...

Hi I am laying a new laminate floor in my living room and am taking the opportunity whilst the floors are uncovered to replace the radiator. The pipework runs under the floor for the length of the room until the window alcove where the radiator sits. Then because of a steel beam which runs...
