forest of dean redneck 12,023 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Me autistic lads had a headbanger moment and done a number on his bedroom door, The frame that the doors hinged too has come away from the wall and so it won't shut now. how can I fix the frame back to the wall.I know the doors going to have to be unscrewed for the repair. I don't want housing to do it as they will bill us for it,cheers . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 If it's a brick or block wall, the frame will be screwed into it using "frame fixers" which are basically just long screws in long rawlplugs. You probably wont be able to see where they were screwed as they would have been filled and painted over in the frame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suffolkpoacher 219 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Grip fill and 9" nails just drill and plug it with a long screw and just counter sink and fil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 As has been said place back in its correct position ( check the door shuts correctly ) then drill through the frame into the wall and plug and screw in place with large screws countersink or just screw a milimeter into the frame cover the screw head with wood filler allow to dry rub down and paint .... Hey presto job done ............ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
