Anyone know what those recessed lift up ring thingies that you can set flush
in a trap in the floor to allow it to be lifted out, are called, and know of
anywhere that keeps them. Had a quick look in a couple of the sheds, but
didn't see any, but then sometimes, it's a case of looking in the right
place ...

Made a lot of use of that shiny new Bosch jigsaw today - the one that I got
last week for father's day, and that Dennis thinks that I shouldn't be using
for anything other than, well, cutting out jigsaw puzzles ....

Got to say that it was an absolute pleasure to use. I had both my circular
saw and my compound mitre saw with me, and barely used the circular at all,
and didn't use the big fella once. The Bosch cut straight when I wanted it
to. Curved when I wanted it to. The cut that it took was precise, square,
very fast, and above all, a lot lot quieter than either of the other two
saws are. So I still think that owning this new toy, is a result ....

googling for "flush trapdoor pull" seems to find several, e.g

and know of anywhere that keeps them.

restricting the search to uk sites looked less promising, but someone
must sell 'em.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Andy Burns

Called a flush cabinet ring or a flush ring.

You can get them at any architectural ironmongers or marine chandlers.

Do they still do them? They used to, but that's a no-show on their
website.

Can you recheck where you found that number from for me please ? I entered
it into the search bar on their site, and it comes back not found. 85260
gets a result, and it's hardware like door bolts, so in the right vicinity.
It would certainly be handy if they do do them, as there is a trade counter
a few miles away, and I could pick up a couple without having to mess about
with the post.

TIA

Thanks for the link. That one looks a bit mediaeval. I was thinking more in
terms of the one that Dave O pointed me to. A bit pricey though ...

Grimly old boy, I'm so embarrassed ! How could I have missed that ? I put it
down to old age ...

Thanks to you and thanks to Owain for the original pointer. Two nice shiny
brass ones, with extremely reasonable postage, now on their way. Now, 38mm.
That's not by any chance the same diameter as the recess for a kitchen
cabinet door hinge, is it ? :-)

Trapdoors are :-)

Ah, but not in a deck where there is a bloody great manhole cover
underneath, that may need to be got at at some point. I made an insert of
boards that sits on frame all round, and was going to just bore finger holes
through for lifting it out, but then I thought it would be a lot neater to
put proper lift-up ring pulls in it.

Dammit ! Too good to be true, I suppose. Still, I guess I can use the hinge
rebater to take out a 35mm recess, and then just 'open up' the extra 1.5mm
all round, with a small chisel.

Its a lot neater to just screw a handle on when you need to lift it.

Nice bit of lateral thinking there.

They have them in "Screwfix" fairly cheap last time I looked.
