How do I latch a skinny door?
Comments (8)Nice screen design. Hmm, not an easy one. As there isn't much frame to notch into surface mounted fixings are probably the way to go, so the screen is not notched out for the locking mech. If you just want a simple latch try one of these, a plastic roller catch. You can get these in metal but for such a lightweight looking 'door' this might be ok. http://www.hafele.co.uk/shop/p/roller-catches/roller-catch/12056/9402 You obviously then need a separate pull handle to pull / push the door close / open. Something like this perhaps? http://www.hafele.co.uk/shop/p/stainless-steel-knob-furniture/fsb-door-knob-0829/41255/8387 The possible problem with a roller catch is there is no locking mech for privacy but as you can see through the screen I'm assuming privacy isn't really an issue. If you do decide to have a locking mech you should go for a bathroom type so it can be opened from the outside with a screwdriver in case of emergency. http://www.cheshirehardware.com/fortessa-satin-nickel-turn-and-release.html http://www.cheshirehardware.com/bathroom-mortice-deadbolt.html Surface mounted rim locks are also a possibility but I don't think there is an emergency over ride on these types of locks + the box size would be too big. Ironmongery is a huge topic and you can spend hours browsing for something but the above should give you some ideas. The two websites above are really good and if you have any questions you can phone them up and they are usually very helpful. Once you've worked out what you want you then need to find an ironmonger who sells it it, internet best but you can't see before you buy. Screen edges - you could get it lipped with hardwood, like oak or something. it would be a 2mm thick or similar veneer stuck on. Not sure if you have enough space for that though? A good carpenter would be able to help with that. Iron on edging strips are also a possibility, you put these on the cut edge of kitchen units, plinths etc. and you can get these in a variety of colours and finishes. You would need to fill and sand in the edges so they are all smooth and seamless. Hope you get it sorted, see you....See MoreHelp: In Search of a Small Bathtub
Comments (3)Agree with Jonathan, would be much better to see all the dimensions you have as there might be better solutions.

Comments (5)Silicone does need raking out and replacing every couple of years because it does discolour and som cleaners do break it down. The fact you have had to replace yours is not alarming and you should expect to do it again in another couple of years but you shouldn’t have to retile...See MoreHelp!! Looking for low height bathtub
