Ignore it,I always make them level on cill and hinge side and check the inside site lines(gap around the slab). If it’s all perfect fix it,if it’s looking low or high adjust the hinge side to suit

Should be some of these... Also make sure the spring side of your split spindle is outside

Box/bolster bar to the inside,pretty cover to the outside,looks odd but that’s the way they say you do it

Yes that part

I would go 45/45 but don’t go Yale go ultion

Yes you can tighten that,the keep on the frame at top is as tight as it will go but you can tighten the mushroom cam on the lock by turning it very slightly with an alley key,do it slightly and try it every time so it feels tighter locking but not so it feels wrong. Also your central keep by the...

You can if it’s just A case that’s its high enough but not pulling in tight. Send me a icture of your locking part on the door and locking part on the door frame and I will talk you through it

Needs toe and heeling properly,you need some packers/shims and a glazing paddle(or as is only a panel insert you could use a bolster) google toe and heeling,very easy if you know what your doing.panel out,pack the 2 corners and you will watch it lift as you do it,mark around the top corner on...

I would only ever suggest installing a thumb turn if the door doesn’t have a letter plate,it’s very easy to get in if the homeowner leaves a key or thumb turn and they have a big hole in the middle of the door

No not at all,I have to travel to the job which could be 2 miles could be 35miles. I have to keep a stock of cylinders lowest rating being an anti snap/pick/bump,highest being ultion with 6 keys which costs me £65 to buy. I can be there 5 minutes or an hour depending on what work is needed...

Really is very simple,might need to unscrew the handle also to make it easier to put new lock in. Sort of job I can charge £60-£100 depending on the quality of the lock as I give a guarantee but costs pennies to do

Should be just the barrel and not the lock strip itself,if you look down the lock strip and remove the screw That is under the lock pin(the bit that pops out under the latch when you turn your key) turn your key slightly and pull the lock from the thumb turn side it will pull out. Just need to...

Bit confused by which part you mean without pictures as have never seen your full door in pictures but if you mean it’s not pulling in on the keeps you can pull that in on the locking strip with either an alley key/Philips/torx on the keeps

Flick off the bottom cap under the frame part of the hinge,should be an Allen key bolt,turn that and you can take the whole door up,if that takes away the gap repeat on the other hinges until they all feel under tension evenly If you struggle just google upvc flag hinge adjustment

Whereabouts are you r_c ?if it’s local to me I don’t mind casting my eye over it. Seriously looks like they haven’t packed the frame level when fitting,common fault with ‘throw it in’ fitters and service engineers who don’t want to help

Evening, depending on what hinges you have you may be able to wind the whole door up on an Allen key bolt,if you upload a picture I can tell you Doesn’t look like toe and heeling is going to help too much as you are pointing to the centre of the door

Thanks for the replies guys,will get onto a few builders and designers. See what they can come up with

Thanks for the reply tomfe,there isn’t much choice on toilet locations due to the awkward layout,other than sticking it under the stairs so it backs onto the current soil stack but that is still into the living space. I’ve attatched a better picture of my planned layout so the porch has a side...

To be honest,if I knew my way around the drawing board I would give it a go,not long finished the driveway and don’t want to rest the brain.I am planning on using the same bloke to draw up the plans that we use to pass our conservatories(ex council planner).Just trying to figure out at this...
