    Soft closers for internal doors?

    Make sure you get the right mechanism; some of these things are only for metal drawers, others only for wooden ones. Might be simplest to replace your runners with soft closing ones https://www.eurofitdirect.co.uk/products/ball-bearing-45kg-soft-close-drawer-slide-46x400mm-ext-100 But to use...

    Soft closers for internal doors?

    Kitchen cabinet doors are already soft close I mean for the doors that divide rooms. My pull out larder probably weighs the same as my internal room door, and the larder has a soft close self close similar to the drawer closer Perhaps though trying to do it in one mechanism is trickier than...

    Methods to fix skirting to solid wall other than screws & glue

    Depending on what you mean by "breeze block" - to me it's an "aerated concrete block" looking something like a Cadbury Wispa chocolate bar inside. Some people refer to dense concrete blocks (looks more like a Rice Krispie cake) as breeze blocks If it's an aerated concrete block wall, you should...

    the pan drawers in the kitchen are soft close self close thanks to a mechanism that looks like this: https://www.screwfix.com/p/hafele-soft-close-mechanism-for-roller-runners/3181J A plastic bogey travels along an L shaped slot as the drawer is pulled open then flicks out of the way as the end...

    How to repair this hinge?

    When you fit the new hinges, chop that C shaped wood back a bit/chamfer the edge top to bottom. It looks like the wind opened the gate too far and that wood rived the hinges off. Also they may have been weakened at the point where they snapped, by the hinge going stiff and causing the metal to...

    Anyone recognise this soft closer?

    Pull out larder was slammed shut the other day and it appears to have broken a vital part off the soft closer I've since had to cut another plastic finger off it to get it off; it's a one way click fit Wondering if anyone recognises it so I can buy another? The only visible marks other than in...

    Why does the door close better if the screws are loosened?

    I see two problems here, and I believe big all is correct. 1: you've used screws that are too large 2: you havent recessed the hinges into the wood Because of 2 it means the hinge must close more than parallel to allow the door to close, but The screw heads sticking out into the gap between...

Use kingspan and you can achieve .22 with either 80mm and a foil faced breather membrane or 100mm and a normal breather. Personally, I've a...

    gone are the days when encrypting data batters the web server’s resources that it makes sense to have only certain areas of a site do https and other areas http. It now takes more effort than its worth to maintain the split, so sites generally just use https across the entire thing and be done...

    What kind of regulator does this bottle need?

    I do, it’s full, and buying a regulator is hopefully a cheaper way of using the gas than buying another bottle. I’m using calor too, just want this one used up and out my life!

    What kind of regulator does this bottle need?

    not a standard calor, this bottle has "kosangas" written on and the valve head on the bottle is much larger than the calor regulator on the right- it looks to be about 28mm wide any ideas what I need to search for in order to buy a regulator for patio heater use?

    Installing stairs - plasterboard before or after?

    Did mine after. Had to get the multitool out and hack a few bits of plasterboard out where the wall was bent otherwise the gap down most of the stringer would have been horrendous Also, by the time I fitted stairs I'd forgotten where the studs were for fixing the stringers to Would still do it...

After logging in, I was taken to a "security error" page and advised to hit back, refresh, and try again. Hitting back...

    trickle vents

    I think the MVHR argument isn't so much about money/payback period or even heating bill savings; it's more to do with controlled ventilation being a positive to a healthier and better smelling home, with the heat recovery aspect playing second fiddle. Uncontrolled ventilation can't really...
