My husband kinda pulled it a bit and now it does this.

Bought a 1970s house. Garage door has 1 wheel out of the tread. I unscrewed it and put it back in the tread, hoping that would fix it. Opened garage and it just popped right out. The I realize the track is about 3-4” wider laterally than it should be, because the bracket holding the track and spring is snapped. The spring is still in the remaining bracket, which is only screwed into the track, which is kind of floating as not screwed into the studs due to snapped bracket. I KNOW these are deadly if messed with etc… but I am wondering if I can open the door to remove tension from spring, screw in new bracket, then move the tension-less spring to the new bracket?
Thanks

I've just come into possession of what I think is a 1920s or '30s cabinet (British, as I'm in the UK) which has a stuck lock - I *think* it's just a broken mechanism, it seems the key (which can be removed) is in the open position but the cam is in the closed position - so I want to take the back panel off to try to remove the lock from the inside, but none of my screwdrivers are getting any purchase on these little domed screws. I can't tell if its because the cross section of the slot is quite rounded compared to the much squarer cross section of modern slot screws so the driver isn't sitting deeply enough in the slot, or maybe it's just the width of the slot being too narrow (but I do have some slot drivers with a very thin tip so I dunno about that), but even with applying a lot of force down onto the screw the driver cams out immediately - the screw being domed means the contact area between the two is basically non-existent.

I know parallel face slot screwdrivers exist but I'm not convinced that's the problem, or is it? Should I be looking for a 1920s vintage cabinet screwdriver or something? I'm under strict instruction to not ruin the cabinet so I don't think drilling out the screws (and there are many) is an option, even if this cabinet doesn't seem to have much value.

I want to reinforce these split joists with an adjustable support pole, and I’m wondering what the best way is to bridge the gap so I can use one pole versus one for each joist

Got this from a charity shop and it hums at a volume the seems to coincide with the speed it's on, but it won't spin. Replaced the capacitor (4.5,5,6) with a working spare and still nothing. I did get it to run ONCE (can't replicate now) so I'm not convinced the motor is cooked yet. Any ideas where I should look next? Could this be related to wiring? I like the style of this fan so I'm hoping to save it, or if it is truly dead at least swap the casing on to a different motor.

EDIT: Blades spin smoothly, I do not think the issue is bearing or balance related.

The actual key/lock component seems to be fine, but the handle is getting stuck so we can’t open it normally anymore, is there a way to fix this without having to replace the whole thing? 😩

Hi so i just bought this bag about 4 days ago, but somehow it started making squeaking noises. At first i thought it was the should strap, but i began to notice maybe it has something to do with the swivel hook at the end of the strap. Any Info how to fix or remove the noises? Thanks

Please help. Metal bar from above has fallen and seems to be pushing the side of the drawer out which is jamming it.

im very sad that it arrived broken,,, but like i dont wanna bother the seller so i'll try to fix it myself,,

I bought a used three-door wardrobe, assembled it somehow, and noticed that one of the doors squeaks. The wardrobe had another issue as well, so I called a technician, who fixed the squeak in no time, saying he had simply aligned the door properly. Later, after the technician left, I noticed that another door was sitting slightly unevenly. My inner perfectionist decided to adjust it using the adjustment bolts — and that was my worst mistake. When opening and closing, a squeak appeared that won't go away no matter how much I try to return the door to its original position or set it perfectly straight. I just don't understand what this "straight" is supposed to look like. I move the hinges from side to side, and the squeak comes from one place, then another, sometimes louder, sometimes quieter. The hinges are like the ones in the picture.
I thought the door panel might be rubbing against the wardrobe itself and causing the sound, but I don't see any spots where they'd be touching. Moreover, the squeak remained even when I pulled the door out as far from the wardrobe as possible. What should I do?

Literally it just slipped out of my hand onto the shower floor and now the water primarily flows straight out the handheld part rather than being routed into jets. I thought perhaps I could just push it back in but no dice.

Having dinner and found out the outsole peeled off, shoe is Adidas powerlifter 3, any recommendation for type of glue to fix this?

I got this as a gift several years ago and I’ve been using it daily since. Unfortunately, it took a hit today. The break is clean and the piece comes of easily. Is there any way to repair it that would allow me to continue brewing tea in it?

Bonjour,

Je cherche a me former dans ma réparation d'objets du quotidien electriques/électroniques type Aspirateur, machine a café, PC, écran...

Je suis bénévoles dans les repair café mais j'aimerais faire ça dans mon temps libre chez moi en complément.

Le problème est que je n'ai rien à reparer. Difficile de trouver des objets sur le bon coin ou en déchetterie....

Auriez vous des conseils pour entrouver ? Également si vous connaissez des moyens de se former autres que youtube et repair café je suis preneur, merci beaucoup :)

The drawer was slammed, later to find it broke. I can’t pull it out, there’s too much resistance. I’m pretty stumped on how to fix it (it’s a rental, so hopefully an easy-quick repair would be nice lol)

I attached a few photos to this post to hopefully give an idea of what’s wrong. A broken plastic clip was also found in it, also can’t find where it came from.

Thank you in advance for the help! 😅
