I’m really glad you found this video useful.

Good job. I like that your hinges and strike plate are adjustable. US stuff usually doesn’t have that must flexibility. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you. For replying. How do you deal with warped doors? Do you loosen the frame and try to curve it to the warp of the door?

I just find the best fit to average out the warp so it’s less noticeable but it’s all a compromise.

Good vid. At least yours has a handle. Ive got a crap thumb lock as handle and lock its a terrible design

Something has obviously changed since the door was fitted, I would check all the screws are tight and not loose.

Exactly the same purpose wd40 is a special recipe as it took them 40 attempts to get it right!

When I press down on my handle all the way my lach gets stuck, I have to prise it back out with a screwdriver.. any idea how to sort on these doors ?

It difficult to correctly diagnose without seeing by if there is excessive tension on your door handle adjust whatever is required to take the strain off and see if the problem goes away. Visually check for the door dropping out of alignment etc .

What lubricating oil type do you use?

I free things up with penetrating fluid then use general purpose 3 in 1 oil.
