Hi, I am tiling around my bath. Just noticed that the tile place gave me rapid set adhesive (powdered, as tiles are 60 x 30cm). Question is, I am going to have to tile the top row on all 3 sides before I can add the tile trim (to make sure the miters are nice and tight). Being rapid...

Thanks for the reply John Unfortunately only one door, no separate entrance. I do also intend to get either side garage bolts or a "garage defender" but would like to sort the current lock out in the interim. So, is it best to buy longer rods or just extend the plate which the locks...

Evening I have a framed retractable garage door. The door is locked by two chisel shaped rods on either side of the door about 25cm from the bottom. These rods are just locating on the edge of the plate which is secured to the frame. Is it possible to replace these rods for longer...
