Hi all, I'm currently in the market for a new door handle for my home and I'm stuck on which to choose, the two I'm looking at are the Hoppe D29 handles in chrome https://www.homesecureshop.co.uk/products/upvc-door-handles-lever-lever-d29-chrome?_pos=8&_sid=6f9e52e3b&_ss=r and the Yale Superior...

Hi All. In our fire doors they used to have concealed door closers. They where taken out about 7 yrs ago. There is now holes in the doors, is the Everbuild Everflex Fire Mate Intumescent Acrylic Sealant – Fast Curing – Permanently Flexible – Fire Resistant – White – 295ml...

I know it's an old machine but it's worked flawlessly for 20-odd years. However, the door handle broke last week. I got a replacement and fitted it. Because the old one was in pieces, I wasn't 100% sure I'd assembled it correctly, but I'm sure I have as the door goes together properly, the...

Hi, our kitchen sliding door was broken and we wanted some more space near the back of our kitchen for cabinets so we have fitted a new french door in our kitchen that is 25cm less in width than the old one. We filled the gap with a wood framing, plasterboard on the inside, some left over...

Hi all, we installed new composite external doors at about £800 each. After less then 5 years, the door is so swollen, that one can only open it with difficulty, even the lock is hard to use at this stage. I do not know if the swelling has also caused it to tilt, or if its even warped, but the...

Hi, A couple of doors in my house look like this: I am painting rooms and not sure what to do to make these look okay? I can see old bits of plaster and wallpaper in the gaps and then towards the top I can't do anything because it becomes too thin. Ideally looking for a cheap and easy...

Have to paint the external side of my rear doors. They have lift off hinges on the side however on the top they have some sort of sliding hinge. Is it easy to disconnect or remove this hinge on the top - if so how, would prefer not to unscrew it from frame if it can be avoided.

Ive recently been painting our skirting boards and door frames with satinwood, and I'm now noticing the 6 panel doors which are 10 years old could do with a touch up,can these be painted? It doesn't look like I can sand them much. I'm also wondering if I can repair the hole in one of the doors...

I have recently discovered my rear door is leaking. I thought it could be down to the seals on the threshold so i replaced these. The picture below shows a gap where the door doesn't touch the seal near the bottom lock side. I have tried adjusting the strike plates, but these just make the door...

Our door frames are about 135mm deep. We're having 35mm-depth doors fitted and we want the threshold to be hidden underneath the door. We currently have our finished wood floor running about 40/50mm into the doorframe (this is screwed down into place, not glued), and we're having our carpet...

I have a Upvc front door with lever handles inside and out. Unfortunately our husky now knows how to open doors and has started letting himself out. I don't like locking the door because kids, postman etc. tend to come and go during the day so I'd like to replace the inside handle with a knob...

Hi everyone, I removed the timber and the wood around my front door as they were badly rotten. I'm aiming to fit a sapele hardwood (photo attached) I'm not confident how I can fix it so it doesn't get loose over time since people will step on it. The previous timber were snug fit into...

Hi all, This was fitted in my house and after plastering, it’s looks like the pics. Am I going to be able to get a door on this frame, looks quite close. Thanks

Hi, We have a double patio door and the previous owner has bodged a repair to seal a gap. However it will fall off as soon as the 2nd door is opened. How can we seal this gap please? Thanks.

My bathroom door doesn't close properly and I finally investigated why last night. The issue seems to be that the strike plate was far too low and the latch wasn't actually engaging. Easy enough to fix except that where the screws should go to hold the strike plate has been thoroughly chewed up...

Do 5"x1" door frames from Travis etc shrink much after fitting? How much would they lose from o/a width? Can you buy any that are so dry that they won't? Tnx all Dain

Hi, Wondered if someone has experience in this area and could shed some light on what I think is shoddy workmanship. Moved into my new build home around 18 months ago and have since had problems with my front door. I am not on my 3rd new front door due to bowing. The remedial works...

Hi I would like to install my Ring doorbell. The door is UPVC. Would you attach to the door with self-tapping screws or would you fix to the brick wall next to the door? Screwing to the UPVC is kind of quicker and easier, but I'm not sure as to how sensible this is. Any thoughts please as to...

I am trying to locate this door seal and I am having difficulty. I feel like the widest part of the arrow section is around 4mm and the widest part in general is around 9mm. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi all, Sorry if this is in the wrong place. (new to this.) I recently had a new front door fixed to our house. Because of the small porch that we have the door opens outwards. Would anyone recommend a hook or chain I could attach to stop it from fully opening i.e. if it gets caught by wind, I...
