has anyone picked one of these up yet? http://www.harborfreight.com/14-in-38-in-drive-long-reach-dual-flex-head-ratchet-67994.html Its been a life saver for me plenty of times

On a more serious note, while my "items" are valuable to me, I do carry insurance. Nothing I own cannot be replaced. More so, lock really only keep honest people honest. If someone is determined, they will enter and take what they want. In reality, I am such a shrewd shopper, i'd likely make...

simple as adding one of these to the door http://cdn1.bigcommerce.com/server3900/03a23/products/340/images/1006/WS020_WarningStickerPremisisInsuredBySmithWesson__41520.1405428962.1280.1280.jpg?c=2 My grand parents have had a similar one since I was little, in one of the worst neighborhoods...

Re: 3M White Board & Chaulk Board Tape the problem I see is, neither chalk nor dry erase tends to be "smudge" resistant enough for anything i'd have around. most things I label get moved frequently enough that they'd likely get too smuged to read and defeat the purpose of the label.

Take it to social media twitter, their FB page etc.. link to this thread. i promise you those issues will cease or they will go out of business quickly

I have spoken to one of the "managers" and he admitted I got the wrong "lower" hinge for sure. Supposedly the hinge should not have been a perpendicular design, but adjustable of some sort. Its since been escalated to a VP and waiting on a follow up call

you are close but here is a link to almost the exact hinge. as you see the hinge isnt of equal size on both sides and there is part of the issue http://www.crlaurence.com/crlapps/showline/largerimage.aspx?productid=1308

you hit the nail on the head :thumbup:

In reality, that was my initial request, but the sales rep was trying to match a quote from a yr ago when I first started looking into it and to cut costs, switched sides as the stationary glass on the hinge side is 1/2" vs 3/8" like the door and other side.

wrong, it doesnt line up flipped, I actually did this by mistake at first, then re-read the directions and determined the way it is in the pics is correct

you'd have to see it probably as taking pictures isnt conveying the issue. the way the glass "sits" into the hinge on each side is different, also something you dont probably see is the glass is mitered on the stationary piece so that also dictates the swing and clearance part for the moving...

actually due to the design of the hinge, flipping the hinge changes the "closed" angle because of how the glass sits into the hinge and doesnt line up at the angle required for the door. the instructions go over this part and explain how to orient the hinge as shown

nope not per the instructions anyway

The glass company. I'd rather not name them unless I cant work something out to resolve the issue.

The measurements I took are the pivot points of each hinge to the edge of the stationary glass. so the upper mount sits ~1" inset from the edge and the lower protrudes about 1.25" the opposite direction for roughly 2.25" total distance between the "pins". as for mounting into the door, they...

So here is my dilemma, ordered a shower door from a company online, installed per their directions up to the point below. The door being very heavy and big (over 100#s) I don't want to make any mistakes. In the pics, you will see hinges mounted the the stationary glass and knee wall. the hinges...

No I agree, after seeing all of the creative ways here, I was stupid, but also determined.... :thumbup:

look at all you guys talking about hoisting it up. I threw mine on my shoulder, and walked up a ladder, positioned it onto one of the all-threads, slipped a nut on, then onto the next. I have 12' ceilings too!

Looks fantastic, I opted in for the same color, your looks absolutely awesome, I didnt get as beautiful of result as you did though. Ultimately though, I am very pleased.

Forwarded this onto a few fellow MN people, I am guessing you'll have the additional entries shortly
