1. Prevent the door from being blown open by the wind: If your door tends to swing open when it's closed, especially in strong winds, it can be both inconvenient and unsafe. To fix this, you can install a strong magnet above the door frame, about a quarter of the door’s height. Then place a small iron plate on the part of the door that touches the frame. When the door closes, the magnet and iron will stick together, keeping the door securely shut even in gusty weather. This method also works well for cabinets, wardrobes, and windows.
2. Make a custom elastic door stop: Doors often hit the wall when opened, which can damage both the door and the wall over time. To prevent this, you can attach a thick rubber block or a wooden block wrapped in rubber to the lower corner of the door’s hinge side. This soft stop will cushion the impact, protecting both the wall and the door from unnecessary wear and tear.
3. Fix a marble door lock that's hard to turn: Over time, marble door locks can become stiff due to dryness or dirt. To make them smoother, apply a few drops of oil on both sides of the moving part of the lock, or rub it with a bar of soap. This should help the lock move more freely and reduce resistance when opening and closing the door.
4. Install a screen window on an iron gate: To add a screen without removing the existing structure, cut a mesh screen to fit the inner frame of the gate. Wrap the edges with a narrow cloth strip to reinforce them and prevent sharp edges. Attach Velcro strips along the seams of the screen and use double-sided tape to stick the matching Velcro onto the iron gate frame. Once everything is in place, simply secure the screen into position. This allows for ventilation while maintaining security.
This practical guide offers simple DIY solutions for common household issues, making daily life more convenient and safe. Whether it's preventing doors from swinging open, protecting walls from damage, or keeping locks smooth, these tips are easy to implement and effective in the long run.
