UPVC door restrictor for internal door?

Post by Rldee007 » Tue Jan 17, 2023 4:52 pm

Hi all,

Is there any reason you can use one of a uPVC door restrictor on a internal wooden door based on the assumption you remove the appropriate material from the door and door frame?



I thought I would ask around before I start taking chunks out of wood* out of them.

Just be careful you don't make a dog's dinner of it! :lol:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

No reason it shouldn't work as long as the door's not too heavy (there are also non-eurogroove versions)

If the door is heavy/solid, you might want to look at a heavy-duty restrictor
