Looks better than the usual cheap plastic jobbies they usually fit. My front door wouldn't stop anything. Thankfully we told them to f-off with the back.

They wanted to replace a barely eight year old, 2 inch thick solid timber door (and additional bolts i've fitted), with a piece of plastic sh!t.

This is what i'm talking about when I say we should have choice, they DON'T always know better. Some of their 'improvements' are a step backwards

well my mum is disputing a factoring bill that came through at dvc, the city (botchjob's) building guy brok two security door's to the roof(he bashed them off their hinge's, and the worker(loosley termed) deny's it but the repair bill is in excess of 300 quid, but split work's out at about 4.00, the principle is if city building break's it we (the owner's) have to pay for it.

I told my buildings factor the exact location they'd find the key to the attic.... they smashed the door apart and the key is still in the same location 6 years on

it's not the bill it's the principle, it is why i call the gha(the glasgow halfwit's association) with their repair company city botchjob's(city buliding), essential the same staff as the old gcc housing department but with a new name, you cannot polish a turd in my book.

their parent company city window's screwed up the original window replacment programme in 2000, then again when they tried to fix it, i will post picture's and a web related link tommorrow.
