Where would you fit it then arfur?

Top or bottom? Middle?

Just asking................

After seeing over the yrs many doors both metal and timber forced open its a tough choice and i find depends a lot on the locking systems involved.

cheers

hi oH,

i'm refering to domestic installs not commercial as this is a small house, so deviding (lounge/parlour) or french doors normaly found in a small house, very few roller grills/shutters or steel clad doors fitted in most them.

Domestic doors and locks still vary, could be metal, wood, plastic, multiple locks, locking system, single latch.........

I think you assume too much at times, and have a wonderful imagination that needs an outlet, somewhere else.

yawn! - they are all normal to find on a domestic, a bit more rare to find a sliding shutter door going across a lounge, abit more rare to get a portcullis too but hey why be rediculous and mot concider them to as the op might just want to instal one later.

so i don't assume anything of the sort as all could be be and i have seen been fitted with a single contact as i described.

we are - well was, helping a guy with some (note the word some) advice, not a complete synopsis of all the different situations we can and have come across (by that i mean those that are trade trained and experienced engineers).

the o/p want's to fit a contact on a door in his house, not become a service engineer for //.National Installer.// (i hope for him) that i can assume.

I think half the problem is, in general, I don't understand what the hell you're on about. Sometimes what you write looks pretty clear (well, occasionally) but you mean something entirely different. Must be a generation gap issue.

There's also the fact that you and the internet don't seem to be 'at one' as yet.

lurch baby,

i think it's more honest to say you are in my 'oppositions' camp and fail miserably to lob a quip at me that actually has a morsel of value, so like my wife, who says very generously that i only ever do 2 things wrong -:

1) everything i say

2) every thing i do

so, can i assume that?

as to the internet thats not the problem, i do have an isssue with the keyboard driver so charecters get 'dropped' and sentences get re routed all over the place to where usually the mouse pointer is. i have posted on this last year and may be a problem on the mother board but not been able to completely cure it so looks like bad typing by me.

Arfur... can I offer a solution.

Whenever you post something, I could delete all the rubbish from it if you like... :whistle:

how would i know why anyone thinks its rubbish then?

i do suffer from the fact that if i'm breif then we get all the silly 'what if's' as though i don't know them, so i try to be more full and informative and that gets more even dafter responses, i then address the dafter ones and they get even dafter in an attempt o show i'm the daft one - i don't mind as they fail miserably.

Lurch says he don't understand anything i say, well if thats really true then his trade status should be reviewed, as he comprehends far less than most DIY members, but then he is/was a sparks so i have some compassion and understanding so patience for him.

so unless i get the same powers - no you can't

and your just trying to save dave some HD space aren't you

:)

I have rennovated my house from top to bottom: including ............electrics etc

:rolleyes:

PS: I will be the first to call a professional when it all goes horribly wrong!

chances are a "proper" firm won't touch anything you've installed with a barge pole

i never read the part about the electrics and plumbing.

Oh dear....Sorry Peter i take it back big time. I should take more time in reading posts.

It's slightly worrying that the DIYer is asking if the cable needs to be stripped when he has already rewired his house.

Sorry but i won't be buying your house when it comes on the market.
