HI,
I have this hollow pocket door in a bathroom. The handle has broken loose from the door. The hardware si fine, I could have fixed right back to the door but there is nothing to hold into to (see pics) any ideas for a quick DIY fix? without removing or replacing the door?Thanks.
A
Google "wood glue". Titebond I for example. In lieu of a clamp use some masking tape... from one side of the door to the other, squeezing it together with your hand as you apply the tape.
First time installing interior doors but I am pretty handy. I used the old holes where the previous door was, squeezed a couple of match sticks in the old holes. Mortised the new door and the hinges are completely flush with the door. When I shut the door it won't close. When I try to force it to close it wants to pull the hinges and frame to the left. So removed the door, increased the mortised area so that it was closer to the door front, that way the door position can be moved a bit back to increase the gap between the door and the door stop. No joy, the door still won't shut, but the distance to close is now less than before. What else can I do to get it right?

6 fit kitchen window with one solid pane and 2 horizontal sliders installed about 20 years ago. today i'm getting new countertops and a new window ledge (with wings!) . upon taking out the formica and wood at the kitchen window, they notice they can see outside from the inside. they also notice some moisture inside then he went out side and said no one caulked under the window. its amazing i never notice this really but i also find it hard to believe a pro installer would forget to caulk between the permastone and the window. so i wanted to come here and ask if i should caulk that or not. its a huge gap obviously. i assume thats a weep hole there in the pic and i know not to caulk there but i guess that dark bead of caulk under it should be caulked. correct?
