What is causing the door not to open? If a door is closed we can not go through it unless the door is opened prior to exiting.

the wind, I pushed it to latch. Now I can not figure out how to unlatch it. I have looked for a trip mech. but don't really know what I am looking at. My only arternative is to remove it from the door and I kind of like the feature, although I have never used it. Now I can not leave the house. The lock is on the left side of the door and pushed a bar into the rail. Can anyone please help me?

I have bog standard radiators that have just the normal feed valves to and from it. All of the white caps that you turn to turn the radiator off have all broken as they were very brittle. As a result I'm reduced to doing it with a pair of pliars.

I've tried searching for new ones by putting in searches like "radiator valve caps" or "feed valve caps" but nothing. Does anyone know what these are exactly called or where I can get them from. I've tried plumbing websites and B&Q but nothing.

Anyone out there a plumber who knows?

My furnace appears to respond to my thermostat, when I shut it off and turn it back on, the motor kicks on, the pilot light turns on and the fan starts blowing, but the burners just don't seem to ignite to heat the air being pushed through...we've tried blowing out the burners to remove any dust that may have clogged them, that doesn't seem to help. However, just shutting off the power to the furnace for 10 minutes and then turning it back on seems to help, temporarily. Any ideas what the problem may be and how to fix before I call a repair man?

I have a air compressor with a Furnas style switch with a bleed off valve. My compressor works fine until the set pressure is reached and the bleed off valve is opened. When this happens the bleed off valve bleeds off the pressure in the tank and the compressor cycles again over and over and over. is the bleed off valve bad or does it have a check valve before it? If its at all possible can I just put a cap where the bleed off valves hose runs to on the tank?

I have a large driveway. 50% of it is nasty old concrete the rest is rough soggy turf. The land is soft so tarmac is out of the question.
With a limited budget whats the best way of doing the whole job ?
Should I dig up the concrete or go over the top of it with hardcore etc ? I estimate I need 40mt of hardcore !

I have a small office with a metal door that opens from the street to the inside waiting area. I often get to the office in the morning at the time of the appointment but the client might come early. Can I install a door lock that will unlock at a given preset timer ather than by just a key?

I am installing a PC705 Variable Speed Pump Mixing Control

Simply put, I have 2 sensor bulbs that attach to the outside of the boiler pipe (one on the return line and one on the high temperature loop). I need a few feet of wire to reach the control panel.

The kit comes with sensor bulbs that have only 8 inches of wire. I need to know if copper wire is fine to use, or if I need a special wire. The instruction manual says nothing, other than to connect the wires to terminal 1 and 2.

Other brands of sensors, that I have installed give you too much wire.

three outlets do not work. All three outlets read 118-120 volts when I test them. But if you plug a TV or even a phone charger, the devices do not work. What's the problem???
