door

I am looking for a Keyhole Cover for my Front door. It looks a bit like this picture below. Mine is silver chrome. I looked in my local B&Q but they had none suitable for my type of lock. Can I get one that screws in or something thanks.

Hello, I had a few new windows and a front door installed recently, I have received the Fensa certificate. Should I also expect to receive an energy certificate for each window and door? Is this even a thing with new windows and doors or not really? I'm thinking the likes of an energy label...

Hi, The Yale lock on my porch door doesnt always open easily sometimes takes 5 mins trying to turn the key. I’ve tried using wd40 but I think it needs to be replaced. Does anyone please tell me what type of lock this is? I’ve searched Amazon but they just look really long and so not suitable for...

Hello DIYNot members! I would like to give the external door I have a new coat of paint, but I am not sure of what material it is made of: it looks like painted metal to me: What type of door could it be, and what paiting options are available for it? Thank you in advance!

Yes, you read the title correctly - I have an upside down UPVC door that needs to be righted. I think the previous owners were a bit 'out there' as the dude just laughed with no explanation when I pointed it out during viewing... Anyway, is this a relatively straightforward task to right? I...

Hi, can anyone help me identify this type of door seal? We have 3 on the bottom of each external timber door and quite a few have perished. Can't seem to find anything similar on the web. Thanks, Brian.

My uPVC patio door handle recently stopped working. When I took the handle off and removed the spindle, I found that the 'follower' (square hole that the spindle goes in to) has shattered. I've attached a photo where you can see that the bottom and right side of the follower has broken off. I...

I'm hanging a reclaimed door, which is an original from a neighbour. New trim had been added to the wrong side of the door frame. The old door and frame both have hinge notches cut already but they don't align. Is it better to - extend the notch on the door - extend the notch on the frame -...

Hi guys Does anyone have an idea on how I can repair this broken bathroom cabinet bracket/hinge which snapped off yesterday? (The pivot pin snapped off). I cannot find a replacement anywhere on Google as nobody seems to make the part. It’s a pivot hinge which screws on to a bracket on the...

I have a misaligned uPCV external door with butt hinges (not sure which manufacturer, but is 3D adjustment type). The bottom hinge is clearly out of alignment and recently a small screw fell out the bottom - my guess is that it has just worked loose over time. I have tried to push and screw...

Hi all - would really appreciate your advice on this as extensive googling has not helped! A couple of days ago the door wouldn't close behind me (latch sticking out), when I moved the handle this short metal rod fell out of the lower of two holes in the latch itself (picture). The lock seems...

Seeking the community's help in identifying the make and specific model no's - of the parts in the pics. Hoping for a) Manufacturer b) specific model number. My Aim: To simply take off the old ones (hinges), and swap them out with fresh clones. Hoping someone can help.

As per the title -- the sill for my French doors is short by about 10-15mm either end. This is because the builders didn't read the plans properly and have built the opening too wide. Unfortunately it's too late for them to do anything now so I'm on my own. I've spent a good few hours trying to...

Hi all. Our external door has a draft on one side, this is due to the seals on the underside of the door being damaged when the previous owners let the door drop. I've asked a door parts site for advice, but they think the part fitted is now obsolete. My question is, where can I find a T...

Hi any idea how we can get the top of the door to be more flush against the frame? The bottom seems to be fine but you can put your hand near the top and push it to to be closer to the frame. We've national hickmen hinges but they just seem to move the door closer or further away from the frame.

Hi all, bit of a weird one. I need hinges for my doors to go into my frame. The old hinges are ruined, paint all over them etc and just thought i would get new ones. Measuring up it seemed like they are approx. 76 x 51mm which i can see is a standard size, they are like 80 years old (1930s...

Dear DIYNot members! Our front door has naturally (over five years) developed a bend at its bottom corner. I would like to put some draft excluder around that side, but I'm not 100% happy with the idea of only putting it along just the half of the door height (as the door won't close evenly)...

I have a chime on the entry door which sounds on all the internal sounders throughout the house when the door is opened but it is too loud. How do I lower the volume. If there is a specific page in the instruction book, can someone point me to it. I managed to adjust the volume on the keypad...
