Post #418,360 by malraux 5/28/17 7:48:34 PM 5/28/17 7:48:51 PM Reply	Yeah, I did one of those once. The door into the garage was leaking cold air. The opening was non-standard and I spent a lot of time making it taller just so the damned door would fit. After that I decided to just pay the man.

I wish I'd known the "piece of bread in the pipe" trick before the last time I sweated copper though. Electrical I'll do myself unless it touches the box.

Did you change manufacturer from old hardware? - (a6l6e6x) - (1) - May 28, 2017, 10:47:37 AM EDT

Nope, discontinued years ago - (drook) - May 28, 2017, 02:22:27 PM EDT

The bigger question about door knobs is of course... - (CRConrad) - (5) - June 13, 2017, 04:10:47 AM EDT

I don't understand the UK layout you're describing -NT - (drook) - (1) - June 13, 2017, 08:05:25 AM EDT

Sensible way: hinge nearest corner. Weird UK way: hinge farthest from corner. (Also: No "pre" tag?) - (CRConrad) - June 14, 2017, 08:19:53 AM EDT

Almost every knob in our house is either lever or thumb-lever - (malraux) - June 13, 2017, 10:47:12 AM EDT

Yeah, but a lot of those door handles . . . - (Andrew Grygus) - June 13, 2017, 11:25:55 AM EDT
