Hopefully this very rough sketch helps show what I'm after.

I'm looking for a hinge that will allow an inset door to open within the width of the cabinet frame work and then allow the use full width pull out runners. Everything I've seen (for inset doors) opens the door within the opening and would mean spacers for the runners which I don't want to use...

You may have a point Setch, a closer examination today shows a minor degree of movement and whilst 3 locks would be something of a PITA that would be little compared to a multipoint becoming unusable because of movement.

Site says the lock is only suitable for PVC doors. You reckon this is OK for a timber door?

Cheers gents. No problem with the routing. Just need to find a suitable lock mechanism.

Tis indeed framed, ledged and braced! Whilst it migt be unconventional it is a reasonably beefy door and I think would take such a lock. I cant think of any other method of increasing security without a door change and I can't afford that at present. Thanks as always Steve.

My main access door to the workshop is FLB timber door. The current lock is knackered and needs replacing. I have wanted to upgrade security for some time and I'm wondering if it's possible to retrofit a multipoint lock to such a door? Are there any especially for timber or will any one do...

Actually gobsmacked!

Chris, My exoperience of Charnwood (a W650) wasn't good at all. After much discussion and attempts by them to palm me off with what I felt was an unacceptable defect it went back. Shame really as it was a decent specification. I've ended up with and Axminster TSCE-12R which although bigger and...

Unfortunately my experieince of Charwood was very different and suffice to say I was the owner of a 650 for a little over 3 weeks! Your paying good money for a machine and in my opinion there shouldn't be any significant imperfections in a cast iron top at all. Mine had a 'dip' of over 2mm...

Off thread just a little bit but has anyone used this service? With the price of new batteries exceeding the cost of a new setup it would seem a really good idea.

My personal experience was an initial set up with separates. Then in one of my 'upgrade' moments moved to the 106pt2 and within a fairly short period of time was looking to move back to separate units (which I've done). The *** of changing between modes, finding somewhere for the fence and...

And another one from me ..... I was given a Gem Red digital angle thingy for Christmas and only last week started to use it. On second use the display clearly wasn't working properly and I had difficulty distinguishing between numbers. A change of battery made no difference. I thought I'd e...

This is much more of an problem than some people think. It doesn't matter how much you tighten the nut the bit will still slip. DAMHIK :oops: This may well be your issue?

Well I finally got round to taking the lid off the extractor so I've resurrected this thread. The NVR has a brown in and out lead (L1) and a black in and out lead (L2). The earth is to the casing of the extractor, nothing to the switch itself. Is it as straightforward as connecting the...

This is the latest incarnation of a display/storage unit for SHMBO! This version ends up with doors that are approximately 600 wide and 1200 tall. I'm a little concerned that this is a bit on the big size and with glazed panels (4mm toughened) may be too heavy for 3 butt hinges? I haven't...

I'm trying to track down a decent supplier for some glass cabinet doors and shelving, - doors will need to be pre drilled for hinges. All toughened of course. My local supplier is completely hopeless and my best friend google hasn't revealed many responses that are that helpful. Does anyone...

Thanks for the thoughts. A look at soss hinges and the overall cost has made for a radical change in design. It's now going to be more modern with glass doors on top (not hugely more expensive when considering the cost of bevelled glass in wood frame doors, - might actually be cheaper) and...

The point I was trying to make is that American practices have changed. To see a crown guard was almost unheard of and to hear the type of explanation about a riving knife is certainly a step forward. There's hope for them yet, - it'll just take a few more fingers!

Whilst it's easy to criticise our cousins across the pond shouldn't we also be giving them some credit? You don't have to go back very far to find a complete lack of guarding and riving knife, - so the fact that they are now showing them is a major step forward. The sport of critcising...
