Working in an office on a local industrial estate today. They had a (very heavy) door in a partition that wouldn't close properly. Top hinge had dropped - I wonder why.
Someone made a right mess of that when all they needed to do was slip some aluminium angle through the hole and screw the hinges back on. ;-)
All I had was an offcut of 12mm hardwood skirting and an office closing in
35 mins!Removed the metal doorframe, cut away some plasterboard, screwed hardwood to galvanised channel with many self tappers & some Gripfill, replaced frame & fixed errant hinge holes into the hardwood - jobs a good un.
Gripfill. Where would we be without Gripfill?
Of course it should be part of every handyman's tool kit along with car body filler and caustic soda.
Don't forget gaffer tape! (like The Force, it has a dark side and a light side, and it binds the universe together!)
