Locksmith Clerkenwell had a nightmare adjusting some French doors, It’s as though when they are fitted the installer uses up all the adjustment in the hinges leaving nothing for me to play with. Not my favourite job when the sun is blinding me too.
Pot luck how you get them? As the doors are manufactured off site it will all come down to the fitting and how much adjustment the installers have to do to get them right. Just a bummer when they leave you nothing to play with. Well apart from standing there 'playing' with your bollox and scratching your head on which keeps to move! Agreed, very true, never much adjustment sometimes badly fitted and I also think with some bigger doors the glass is too heavy for the hinges really so shit from day one. I hate Butt-Hinges. The times I've had to fit new ones onto doors, as there aren’t enough adjustment, especially due to wear. Give me Flag-hinges anytime! Don't touch hinges, Toe & Heel. Had to open a failed espag yesterday, I have a few tools i made to unjam the mech through the hole which wasn't a problem. But window wouldn't open. I checked for side shootbolts.
Nope seized hinges maybe? After much farting about it turns out the window had been deglazed, screwed shut and then glass re-inserted. They went to a lot of bother when someone would have just put the window through anyway might have been done instead of getting a new window lock. Locksmith Clerkenwell was called out to a faulty mpl, the problem was that when the top and bottom pins where thrown they just retracted back. I took it apart and the Mechanism had hardly any teeth left on the gears. So measured up 45mm backset, case size etc. Ordered a KFV 45mm L/L case. Come to fit it and the rivets holes are in the wrong place. Though I might be able to get around that, but then noticed the rail doesn't connect to the mechanism in the same way as the original. So after a ton of head scratching decide stuff it replace the whole mech. Measured up and my problem is the pin bolts are both 760mm from the centre, I can only find ones with 730 top and 760 bottom.
Yes I could just move the top keep. But I just wanted to check if I had missed something. This was my last job of the day a quick 20 minutes I thought. Now tempted to grab a beer. Makita multi-tool will make a quick job of cutting a new hole for 'keep'. These tools are priceless really, a great timesaver. Asked to look at some loose door handles, when I got there it was an aluminium door with a euro lock with a single bolt and latch. My problem is how the HELL do you remove door handles with NO mounting screws. Tried looking for mounting screws but couldn't find any. The door is about 30 years old and the company went out of business about 2 years ago, the only markings the locksmith Clerkenwell guy could find were on the face plate an `M` It will be a Monarch installation. |
