It doesn't 'effin matter! I'd have held the door with the hinges fitted, up against the jams and marked the top and bottom of the hinge where it sits against the jam OR architrave with the point of a sharp pencil. Then used a square to project those lines onto the jam face. You sanded the door destroying the ONE straight edge you had. TWAT. You made your bed etc. Sort it out on your own.

3 days I walked around "carrying" that radiator key to marinate and bloody uncomfortable it was too! Getting it out brought tears to my eyes I can tell you!

No, it's really not. 10,000 words of undecipherable gobbledygook when a quick sketch or picture would help everyone is the norm. Have you ever stopped to think that's it's only your threads that descend into these sorts of exchanges. That marks you out as the issue.

I fitted the same here: @Nickfromwales said: Put about 25-28 turns of ptfe and turn it into the socket until snug and vertical. End of job. Don't overshoot and back turn it or you'll fack it up

There's enough dumbing down of the English language already. Slang and text speak dilutes who we are, or at least who I want to be. You should take pride in your posting and even correct any spelling mistakes when you can. Just my humble opinion. I mean seriously, your phone didn't do this. It's punctuation but not of this planet: "So innevitably -I- get annoyed at -your-"

Some people have a death wish...

Looks like it's just a screw on "shield".

Hopefully mine will be correct as I've ordered the red one! ?

Just ordered one of these for £23:

On the flat roof why not ballast trays? That's my plan but I'm not sure how they'll sit on a Desmopol type "painted on membrane" roof which is what I'm thinking about.

Your diction, grammar and weird shorthand makes your posts difficult to read and annoys the f*** out of me! ? You really should get with the proper technical terms once you know them or you'll come across as a Muppet forever. I'm not the Spelling Police but it brings the site down imo. I read "looong rad" and think "C***, not again!". Go and measure your rads and take a stab at the BTU. Or take a photo of each (showing single, double, fins etc) and post with the size and we'll do it.

Would you consider angled slots so as not to accumulate dust? Saying that I imagine you have MVHR so not a worry?

If nothing else it shows we should all strive to be better people, embrace different and and above all not mock the afflicted. MR. BIG NOSE: I wasn't going to pick my nose. I was going to thump him! MAN #2: You hear that? Blessed are the cabinet makers.

I got all excited when SWMBO cleared a corner of the stairs room. I thought she'd carry on with the other corner and under the stairs. Alas this corner is apparently for my lad's 3D printer to live. There was me thinking I'd have an empty room and could dig the floor up tomorrow!

I heard they'd all broken Lockdown to travel to a top secret location. Top of the agenda is how to separate an ASHP from a cottage door. Seems there was a transporter accident in a parallel universe and the two got mixed up.

You're welcome.

Your on a loser with the powers that be. Buildhub is a diverse community and he ticks a box! ? This is tame compared to some of his other threads. Stick with it. I found it a lot easier to learn a foreign language afterwards!

My final word on the subject is that the term dogger, (I have on good authority from one), is in fact incorrect. "Bogger" was the original term. Boggers would take the family dog for a walk on the pretext of simply that. The dog was used as a handy ruse to 1) get out of the house and 2) be used as an excuse if caught whilst engaging in whatever.

We're going to get told off lads!

Your door is your straight edge hopefully. Certainly a darn sight straighter then your bowed jam. Your 3 hinges MUST all be in line! This gives you a constant to start with at least. If you're unable to straighten the jam you have to live with it. Pack as required. The only way you might get all 3 recessed into the jam is by first packing the hinges out a bit. Otherwise the edge of the door at the middle hinge (in my sketch above) will hit the jam. Hope that makes sense! Packing the hinges out a tad before screwing to the door gives you some wriggle room. The recesses would of course all be slightly different depths. It'd help if you knew how far out the top and bottom positions were. Out of interest did you ever buy a laser level (suggested I think during the kitchen build)? Dead easy to see how bowed your jam is then. You just line it up on the jam edge and measure to the laser line. Surprising too sometimes when you've always relied on a long level up until then.

He builds & restores stuff like this. Thus despite being a pita he has some serious skills! ?

No that was the one where they built on a car park previously used by doggers.

As you're in essence using your hinge "the wrong way", double check it opens to 90deg. Mine doesn't but then it is bent to buggery: Project the centrelines round from your ledges. Make sure they're perpendicular to the door edge where the hinge is going. The hinge wants to sit like this about the centerline, (ignore the camera angle, the centreline is at 90deg): Not like this, the hinge is too low to the centreline: Decide if you want a nominal gap between door and jam. If so slip in a strip club of something. If you do this to one do this to them all. Mark your hinge holes with the "pack" still in place: Fit your hinge.
