Help needed in finding door handle replacement (exact) if possible. I am looking for a replacement door handle like the one in my picture if possible. It also needs to have the door mechanism with it. Does anyone have any idea where i can get one? Thanks

I decided to decorate the small box bedroom in my house as it had not been done for years! As a first step I stripped and sanded the bedroom door smooth with an electric sander after having to scrape some bits. The door I think is wood with a type of hardboard covering. The house was built in...

I have those doors that look like paneled doors but where the surface is made of plastic - common in modern houses. I would like to route or cut a groove to mount an acoustic seal - just a thin piece of flexible rubber. The door is made from a wooden outer frame and then covered with what...

Hello, can anyone advise of anything that can cover the gap on our front door by the lock? There is a huge draft coming through. Photo below which hopefully you can see. Thanks Cat

Hi, I am putting down new flooring on our top floor apartment (2007) that we just bought. One room has a balcony. It seems dampness is coming in from the balcony - particularly after rain [maybe that's obvious :o) ]. Is there any way to fix or mitigate this before putting down vinyl? Any...

We bought a new build..... We believe the front door and one internal wall are not straight how would I measure the deviations? Is it just case of a piece of string and measuring the gap between one end and another? Or are there easier ways?

My front door has ended up with a small gap at the bottom opposite the hinge side. It appears to be a butt-style hinge from Googling a bit. It looks like the bottom hinge has drifted out of alignment of the middle and top hinges creating this gap. I've mucked about but really have no idea what...

Hi all, I have a wooden door that is sagging badly and the catch is no longer landing in the hole. I have tried to tighten the screws but it has not made any difference. I am a bit confused about what my next step is to try and get things aligned. As you can see below, the alignment is quite...

Hi, I'm currently doing some work on the front garden to take the ground level below Dpc level and have removed paving slabs from the whole area. However after removing the ones in front of the front door, it's exposed the sub floor beneath the hallway. There's no outer brick skin present just...

Did a dry fitting of the door into the frame and it fit perfectly with 20cent coin (2p UK equivalent) gap the whole way around. I installed hinges on the door and was really happy with how flush i got the hinges into the door and frame. In spite of this the door is very tight/doesnt close on the...

I’m Building an angled understairs door liner for a wc in the opening. For the angled section of the frame can I just make use of the angled section in the frame work as is ? (Then pack it out to the depth of the frame after?) reason being I want to keep the notch off the door as small as...

Hi everyone, Would like some advice on insulation of the front door. The front door is made out a really nice wooden frame (looks better on the outside): And I really like the look of it, however it's not the warmest. The bottom panels were just basic thin wood ones so I was able to cover them...

Hi all, I'm after some advice please. The lintel above my garage door is cracked (see pictures) and needs replacing (along with the garage door). The garage roof is pretty thick concrete... I've had 2 builders come round so far to look at the job, the first one says that as the lintel and the...

Hi there, I hope this is the right place to post this. We have a Neff s51m53x1gb built-in dishwasher, and we're in the process of getting a new kitchen so installing it in to new units. There was a seal or skirt that ran along the edge of the dishwasher before that has now been broken or torn...

This is not exactly a DIY as I won't be doing this myself. I wanted to ask for the collective wisdom of what type of contractors this will entail (who will I need). I want to increase the door height in my flat. Above the existing doors is hollow (plaster) and can be knocked down. I will need a...

Hi folks, I have a bit of a challenge, I’d appreciate help with, please. The hardwood threshold was rotten right Through on our lower ground floor (Victorian) front door. I’ve pulled it out, removed a few bricks, and am trying to place a new one in its place. The trouble is the ground level...
