Hi
Looking for some advice. We have a UPVC door installed and the frame around the glass pane is loose on the inside and outside. The glass pane itself self is secure by plastic holders and screws.
I’m getting rain through the frame of the door where the glass pane is. Should this be sealed...
How would I fix a door like this?
You can see the gap at the top. I've got 7 doors and I'm pretty sure they'll all be out. This is the first one I'm trying.
I'm looking to replace all the doors in my daughter's house. I think I'm going to have an issue with two of them which are non-standard sizes. The doors which came out are 191.5 x 70cm and 192.5 x 70.5cm respectively.
Will I need to buy custom doors or would an experienced tradesman be able to...
Hi,
I have got a mixture of 30 inch and 27 inch doors upstairs in my house. One of the bedrooms is 29.5 inch. I need to replace the frame on a couple of them. I was going to make two of them 27 inch openings. What is the pros and cons of 27 inch vs 30 inch? Will it look stupid?
Where is the...
Hello,
I've removed some interior tiles at the foot of my aliminium front door to create a well for a coir mat. This has revealed a small plastic bar and some brick work. Does anyone know what this small plastic bar is doing? Can I remove this or is it something integral to prevent damp? Photo...
I'm planning to fit an old, timber patio door set. Seller told me they are "Nordan' but I'm not sure. Anyone recognise them? They are old and weathered (stored outside) but have never been fitted and were new before being stored.
Today I planned to test fit them but could not manage to get them...
Hi, I'm a newbie here and currently trying to find some door linings and feel like I must be missing something...
My stud work is C24 carcassing 47 x 100 (45 x 95 finished) with standard plasterboard and skim each side - leaving me with a 125mm finished wall thickness - yet I can't seem to find...
Hi guys,
So we've had 2 porch doors fitted, reasoning due to our main front door being the original wooden, single glazed door which is very cold and draughty. During the consultation and measuring with the fitters we asked if the doors would have enough room to open inwards and we was told yes...
Hello,
I have just been quoted £330 for fitting a hardwood front door and internal door. The front door is about 10mm too big on both sides and the locks will need changing. The guy said he could use the locks from my old door. The internal door should fit fine and is about 3mm too narrow but...
Hi, hoping for some advice as I can't really find much discussion along these same lines...
I've picked up a 2nd uPVC door to replace my metal door/frame for side access to garage.
The existing door is basically sat on the top of the brick one layer down from the damp proof course, which is...
Hello Screwfix community, we just got a new carpet fitted.
Without asking, the carpet fitter trimmed two doors.
He says it is perfect.
At 2,5cm in my front door and 2cm in the internal door, I think he overdid it, and now we need to fix the doors.
What does the Screwfix community think...
Hi,
Looking for some advice - hired someone to fit an internal door in the downstairs loo, in the small porch/downstairs extension area.
Upon completion of the door install, I was horrified to see that there was a wedge shaped-gap at the top of the door, more or less running the entire length...
Hello, I'm building a fitted wardrobe using 38 x 63 CLS as the framing. I want to hang 610 x 1981 internal doors - can I screw the hinges straight into the CLS or will I need a door frame liner?
I need some advice here please. Had building extension done to my property from some builders and they've done some crazy work which I was able to fix or get around it, long story. Had to cut ties with them due to the poor job they did.
The problem now is the door they installed is lower than...
Morning
I feel such a tool. A few weeks ago i am embarked on sorting out the living room floor. I layed plywood on the floorboards then self levelling. I got so obsessed with the level that i didn't take into account how high the ceiling will be after i had finished . I installed some 10 mm...
I'm having an uphill battle literally with a door that opens into a room against an upward slope. The door has been trimmed lots already as you can see from the closed photo. (The edge that is visibly higher, is the one that still needs a good 5-7mm off that side)
By 45º opening, the door is...
I have three door linings that need installing but the widths of the openings do not allow me to use standard depth kits, I was wondering what alternatives I could use i.e. mdf or ply? The opening widths and door sizes are:
640 (610 door)
770 (762 door)
820 (762 door)
Its my first time making shaker cabinets, I’ve used 18mm MDF, they’re pretty big (980x670mm) I can’t stop the door from sagging on the top right corner(it’s hinges on the left) I can’t alter the cabinet hinges any more. Any tips? The doors are pretty heavy so I’m thinking maybe I need more heavy...

Good evening all, I hope you are keeping well in the current climate.
I need to replace an old wooden frame and some associated brickwork front door which is coming away from the building and just isn't up to scratch.
I am simply looking for the dimensions of what the rough opening should be...
