How do I remove this deadbolt with no screws on the face of it?
I have a deadbolt I need to remove, because I don't have a key for it (it is unlocked, and is key-locking on both sides). On the face, there is a place where screws look like they should go, but instead of screws, you can only see a metal plate through the screw-holes. There is no way to unscrew the face of the deadbolt.
Any ideas?

Try remove the knob first , it might be a long screw that attaches both sides(indoor side) it may twist , unscrew or pull off. Check and see if there are tiny screws on the sides of the plate (edge) probably on the bottom, unscrew that and that should get the ball rolling.
If nothing else works, check out the make of your lock and phone the hardware store or Deadbolt company, locksmith and ask....(Answered by marshmallowinferno) |

A better way of driving screws with a power drill?
When using power drills to drive Phillips head screws, the drill bit oftentimes 'slips' out of the head. This sometimes results in a stripped screwhead.
Is there a better way of driving screws with a power drill?
The ideal method (screwhead) would allow for speedy and slipfree driving into lumber, without first drilling a pilot hole.

When building a patio, is it in AU building stds that the screws NOT be in the valleys of the roof sheets?
Just had a patio built (not very well) among many other problems with it (ie none of it is even close to being level!) - all of the fixing screws for the roofing sheets are in the 'valleys' which many people have told us means they will rust, therefore leak later on. The company have told us that this is acceptable practice. They have said they agree with the other issues we have but my husband is not happy with the placement of the screws. Can anybody advise if this is covered in any Australian building standards ... (Asked by Jules)

I don't think that you need to be concerned with building standards. Did the company tell you to put the screws in the valleys? Or is this where the holes were on the sheets? If the latter, it is possible that you had the sheets upside down. The screws on the top of ridges is a far better solution as the water quickly drains off the ridges whereas it stays in the valleys longer. I don't think you need to worry about long term leaking. The problem is short term seepage, even in the case of dew....(Answered by jemhasb) |
