My tenants have now moved out of my house and I need to fix it up a bit.
I need to do the following. ANY guidance would be appreciated.
1. The bedroom door handles need to be changed
I have an old style lock that looks like this.
The 'backiing?' plate measures 45mm across and 155mm vertically. I do not need to use the lock function. Are we still able to buy these old handles cheaply? I would prefer not to change to those round ones as that would mean I would have to repaint the door.
2. The bottom of the doors scrape against the floor in winter. I assume they expand. There is little room for me to move the hinges. Can I just file off the bottom? On some of the doors, there is little more room for me to move it upwards.
Or should I just replace the door and use one of those circular hole handles
3. Theres a hole in one of the walls from a broken door stop. Do I need to repaint the wall?
