  1. Windows and Doors
    Hi, I moved into a new flat that I'm renting recently and there is a window lock/latch on one of the sliding windows. I just wanted to know if anyone knew what it's called because I want one for the other sliding window as it'll help me lock them while I have the outer window open. I've...

    We purchased our house mid last year and the previous owners had only owned the house for a little under 2 years, so they couldn't help. Sometime around 2011 - 2012, the owners of our house had siding put on and the sunroom and windows re-done all over the house. One of the handles is loose...

    I am replacing the handleset on my front door. The thumbpress on the old one no longer fully retracts the latch (similar to the problem shown on ). I am installing a Weiser "Welcome Home" Heritage handleset. However, I have this extra part that came out of the box and I don't know where it...

    I have a door going from my basement to garage. I am not sure if was not properly installed or what. Depending upon the time of year, it does not stay closed unless the deadbolt is locked. The doorknob latch does not catch. I tried tweaking where it sits but this only works for a short period of...
  8. Building & Construction
    I am a new home owner and would like to add two gates on a pre-existing deck so that I can enjoy sitting outside with my new dog without having her run around like nuts (considering we don't have a fence yet). I intend on putting in two simple Z framed gates. The deck itself connects directly...
