Storm door wasn't latched by agent and it broke again
Comments (11)I had a similar experience as jrb451 when my mother's condo was for sale and vacant. The electric bill went higher than my own! The place was a 3 hour drive away, so I couldn't stop in to check it often. I mentioned it to the condo association's property manager, though, and after that the bill went back down to where it should have been. I suspect that someone with a passkey was hanging out in the unit....See MoreExterior door install issues - how to fix, what to tell GC?
Comments (6)Sorry for bringing this post back to life: My wife and I just moved to a new house. We got some guys to do all the renovations and the finished product was good and fine. Installed new doors, new tiles, the works. But after a night out we noticed the light from the inside seeping very noticeably from the sides of the door. My wife has OCD and it irks her just by looking at the tiny cracks. A friend highly recommended to call this door installation company (He said they do it fast and clean) and get them to install a new door with a perfect fit from the panels. Question: Is it more expensive to do it yourself? What do I need to buy if I do it? or should I just call the door installation company? I'm not really good at housework. (I have a health condition. Too weak) Thank you. (Sorry if my English is bad)...See MoreMiele W4802 / W4840 Door Latch FIx
Comments (75)j'ai enfin retrouvé ce poste de ma dernière lecture de il y a 1 ans que j'endure le problème de déverrouillages. Maintenant elle ne verrouille même plus a chaud. Plutôt que d' affaiblir le ressort j'ai approfondit les 2 encoche de plastique ( la petite encoche) des 2 coté du dit ressort avec une scie a frette de Guitard (scie sans chemin et très mince)...... je me suis rendu au fond . Résultat très (trop) concluant mais j'y suit aller trop loin et maintenant la porte verrouille des que je la ferme. Je projeté d'étirer le ressort mais j'hésite car c'est viable tel quel juste a déverrouiller la porte manuellement. Les pointes et la micro switche ont été nettoyer et tester mais le problème ne viens pas de la.... (Je suis technicien sur des spas.... j'assume mes résulta sur ce que j'avance...) Mon impression c'est que a l'usure du temps et le poids de la porte en verre associé a l'usure des penture de la porte fait pression sur le mécanisme et empêche que le loquet de travail librement ce qui pointe sur le fait que le loquet neuf ou et la carte ne change rien...... Les bobine ou les relais sur la carte peuvent ne pas aider a avoir une belle impulsion pour l'électro aimant. donc dans certains cas cela peut aider.... et un relais ca se change en boutique électronique pour je dirais 50 a 75$$ et non 800$$$ pour la carte au complet donc pas beaucoup a perde dy mètre 2 relais neuf .........See MoreInexpensive latch/ lock for pocket doors?
Comments (11)Not laughing! My first attempt was blue painters tape. If I can find something that works and requires no install, I’ll be a happy camper! It is been forever since I’ve seen or thought of those rubber door stops. I wonder if they’ll have enough friction to keep out my lab?? She is pretty strong and I had to buy door knobs for the house since can operate the levers.. Fortunately, the stoppers don’t cost much, so I won’t be out much if they don’t work. If we needed a permanent fix, I wouldn’t worry so much about cost and just buy the real locking door knobs....See MoreSeymey
