UPVC Door/Frame Problem
Went to lock the door in this house and it didnt want to play
ball...........turns out the person who fitted the front door has put the frame fixings in the wrong place, they were also protruding......so as it was lashing with rain, late at night and needed door locked, I tightened up the frame screws so the locking mechanism would work... Job done he says.......................get up in the morning to see that my frame fixings tightning has resulted in the inside part being forced out off the wall breaking the silicone seal and as a result there is a lot of wind coming through and it looks rubbish... Any ideas on whats best to do bar or taking whole lot out as guessing the fixings are going into a plug of some description or can I just relocate them to the proper location or would it to harm just leaving them out at the sie worst affected or maybe just remove some? |
