Hi DIY-ers, I want to repair the wooden frame around a badly installed lock. I am happy for the lock to remain, but am not sure how best to fill the badly carved out gaps in the doorframe around it. See pictures to understand. The largest part is 3cm wide X 2cm deep. I've thought of cutting...

Hi Working on an old bungalow renovation - Kitchen is very very cold, have noticed that a pvc door that was previously installed is very draughty and cold... rest of house is warm but this particular corner of the kitchen is barely getting heat despite being 2 foot from a rad. Door install is...

I had this door put in but it was all a bit ad hoc so the door reveal was too wide and some add-on pieces were put on (I don't know what the correct term for them is). The interior emulsion is starting to spot with mold along the inside of the frame so obviously it isn't sealed. I think the...

Hello, I have had some carpets (and underlay) installed. However the carpet to carpet threshold bars the fitters used give some pretty steep “ramping”. So much so it gives quite a noticeable “trough” at the door thresholds even though the underlay is cutback underneath. Therefore has anyone...

I'm putting up some stud walls for a new bedroom and looking for doors matching this original one, does anyone recognise it? I visited a new build office that has the same ones recently so they're definitely still being made. Thanks for any tips! IMG_6992 by maxidog posted 4 Oct 2019 at 10:37...

I have a sealed magnetic contact connected to the Accenta Gen4 on my wooden shed door, I replaced it with a sealed metal contact on previous advice near 2 years ago. Previously I used the standard white plastic contacts and even tried a heavy duty contact for a gap that is always near enough...

48" front door removed, that wall is now internal. The outer leaf was conc. and the inner leaf is breeze. As I need a conventional internal door there now, does it make much difference if I narrow the doorway using Celcons, or should I stick to conc. Thanks, Dain

I’ve recently moved into a property so it’s my first effort at any kind of DIY. One issue we have is that the garage side door has rotted at the bottom, it doesn’t look like it was provided suitable protection. What is the best way to do this? I’ve heard of epoxy fillers but will this be...

Anyone know if I have to abide by any regulations for the type of door to be used on a boiler cupboard? Want to replace this ugly door with a spare Victorian pine door we have but not sure if that's actually allowed.

Does anyone know of a lock like the one linked below, except that has both sides of the lock connected together for use in a office with a glass to glass sliding door? One side being a key and the other side being a thumb turn...

I have moved in to my gf's house and her front door needs adjusting. The top is catching on the external frame. At first I thought the hinges had covers on but these don't seem to want to come off. I was hoping someone on here knows how to adjust the door There looks like an alan key hole...

Hi all need to buy a door to replace an old crumbling garage side door, where is the best place to get one from please?

I have a conservatory with French doors but the slave door cannot be opened because the Concealed Operating Lever to open the slave door is broken / missing. I have tried locksmiths and windows repairers but they do not know what the part is in order to replace it. The conservatory was...

I have read on various websites that FENSA does not cover doors with less than 50% glazing. But I cannot find anything on FENSA's website that states this. All the text I can find on FENSA's site just refers to doors, with no mention of 50%. I have no doubt that you know the answer, but could...

Our PVCu front door (installed 18 months ago) is not sealing and appears bowed. We informed the installer and he came round, accepted it was not sealed and made some adjustments. When he had completed the adjustments we could see that it was still not sealed. We tried to show it was not sealed...

I have read on this forum about using a piece of paper to check if a door is sealed, and it is quite clear that my front door is not sealing properly. (The draft on windy days also made it clear!) In fact it looks like the door is slightly bowed. The composite door was put in about 18 months ago...

Would the fire resistance of the new door need to be in line with current requirements? Existing doors are all stained and waxed 6 panel pine, so it would look a bit odd to have a modern fire door there. Thank y'all kindly. Dain

Hi, Has anyone had the misfortune to try the above? I've sought further clarification from Beko, who sent a slightly less useless anotated sheet and now refuse to provide any further guidance. The door is not easily seperated but they must know how to do it and exactly whats needed ? Any...
