The frame on my external side door to my garage has worked loose from
the wall, resulting in the door not closing properly. I've tried frame fixings but they don't seem to pull the frame back tightly against the wall (I think they're specifically designed to not do this). I need something that will really pull the frame back very tightly against the wall, and the head of the fixing will need to be level/just below the surface of the frame. I've looked around at other fixings but not sure what best to use. The main problem is that I don't want to remove the whole frame from the wall, so I can only drill through the frame and into the wall, and the fixing could pull out as I screw it up tight. I'd thought of hex head concrete screws but looking at pictures on Toolstation and Screwfix they don't seem that substantial and with a big enough head to not pull in to the wood (plus I only need about 8). Advice much appreciated. |
