Ah sorry, wasn't getting notifications somehow. £50. An important detail to leave out.

Hi, This is a clamp rack for the Bessey K Body or similar range of clamps. It relies on the plastic end stop of the clamps to hold them and has space for 8 each of the KR150, KR100 and KR60 clamps. There's also a central pair of rails that were designed for the old wooden Jorgensen handscrew...

Perhaps I'd be better off building an inset door and then a face frame to hide the render/door frame join.

How would that work? The piano hinge would need to be fixed to the outside edge of the frame?

Hi, I've got to build some little external doors for some cubby holes in a rendered block wall. There's a timber frame that is flush with the render and I want to hide the joint so am looking for some sort of external full overlay hinge. I was thinking that these were called cranked hinges...

Ah nice, thanks Pete.

I'm definitely not paying for the cabinet as that will come out as soon as I have time. The problem is that I have a baby due last Sunday which is why I paid the 'professionals' to do this job in the first place. I've already got them to redo a corner around the soil pipe that was truly...

Long story short: I picked a bathroom installer who has totally let me down. This firm does the design/planning/sourcing of whatever and uses a couple of regulars for installation etc. Problem is, none of them are competent and we've been left with a right mess. Everything from tiles that...

Hi chaps, just wanted to follow up on this now that I've installed the door and taken measurements. I'm pretty happy overall. In the end I decided against making my door from scratch as I wasn't sure I could get it looking great and I had a spare door after replacing the other doors in the...

Thanks for pointing me at your door build. From the pics I can't quite see how you finished off the closing edge of the door. Is it cut at an angle to let the leading edge pass the door jamb? Thanks.

Thanks both, hadn't thought about epoxy so will try that. Mike, the switch plate is a Varilight Ultra Flat so there's only a tiny rivet holding on the faceplate. Drilling it out isn't an option.

Hi, bit of a random question but I have just finished a house renovation and sods law, but the only metal back box I left in place and didn't replace seems to have had an M4 screw forced into the M3.5 thread. I've just bought a couple of M4 screws to find that they don't fit through the...

The dBRw value is the lab measured reduction in airborne sound. This is different to the in place measurement which would include sound transmission through the building structure itself. https://www.novaacoustics.co.uk/blog/wh ... stic-tests I don't need a glass panel in the door to see...

Thanks for all the advice regarding the door. I'll have to do some more research. No worries on cooling, got that sorted. I also can't replace the fans with quiet ones as this is 19" rack equipment with high static pressure fans. I've got a UPS, two servers, two switches and various routers...
