With most UPVC windows the best way to fit is to fix the shutter frame to battens that you fit inside the window recess. These form a sub-frame around the window, but most importantly move the actual shutter doors away from the window so that you can adjust the louvers without them hitting your window handles.

Most times a garage door won’t open because a counterbalance mechanism isn’t functioning such as a broken extension or torsion spring. If an electric opener is present and no noise is noted when activated, try disconnecting the opener by pulling the emergency release and manually lifting the door. If the door moves the problem most likely is the opener. Make sure there is power to the outlet supplying the opener and if present then a service call by a trained professional is warranted. If there is a problem with the counterbalance mechanism, repair should be made by a qualified door mechanic.

Home security systems can be fully functional even when pets share your home. First, a typical motion sensor won’t detect a cat, dog or anyone else under 40 pounds. (Sensors with different weight settings are available too.) Second, modern home security technology can distinguish between the movements of humans and our animal companions. Speed and movement patterns are considered along with mass to help ensure that pets don’t trigger false alarms.
