Curtains and blinds Curtains and blinds are used to provide privacy, shading and for decorative effect. They are normally used at windows but can be used for room dividing or as part of the overall décor. In general, curtains are hung either on poles, or curtain rail track systems. With poles the curtains are attached to curtain rings that slide along the poles or, alternatively, they are threaded through loops in the curtain. The poles can be of wood, plastic or metal and are supported at each end on decorative brackets, which are normally fixed with screws into plugs in the wall. Curtain rail track systems are available in a variety of shapes and track profiles. They are either plastic or metal. Small runners slide along the track and the curtains hang from the runners with specially shaped hangers threaded into the curtain tape at the top of the curtains. Shaped brackets fix to the track and are screwed either directly to the wall surface, or to wooden battens, at about 300 mm centres. To remove the curtain rails or poles it is advisable first to take down the curtains to reduce the overall weight. Poles can be removed before unscrewing the end brackets. With plastic track systems it can be helpful to leave the central screws until last to support the weight of the track. For long runs of track, help may be needed from another person to hold the track in position until all the screws are removed.

Blinds are available in various shapes, the most common being roller, Venetian and vertical, slatted blinds. They can be bought in packs in a variety of lengths or can be purpose made to suit individual situations. Blinds are normally fitted within the window opening between the reveals and are fixed with screws. Roller blinds tend to be fitted on brackets at each end and can be lifted off the brackets to allow easy removal (or fixing) of the screws. Venetian and vertical, slatted blinds have an integral rail at the top which is screwed at about 600 mm centres into the underside of the lintel or other support.

Pelmets Pelmets are used to provide a decorative effect and to conceal the curtain rail. They are normally made from wood/plywood/hardboard and have a front, top and ends. The front is often shaped to enhance the decorative effect. The finish to the front and ends varies, depending on the effect required. Pelmets can be natural wood grain, coated with clear varnish, painted or covered with a fabric glued/stapled to the wood. Pelmets can be fixed by screwing down through the top into a bearer that is plugged and screwed to the wall, or by using glass plates that are screwed into the back edge of the top and plugged and screwed to the wall. The use of curtain valances instead of pelmets has tended to increase in recent years.

Show and describe battens. Describe their uses and how they can be fixed, using nails, screws, or nuts and bolts.

Student involvement

Ask students to give examples of where battens would be used. Possible response: Below shelves or cupboards to carry weight. Behind shelf brackets. As a frame for boxing in pipes, bath panels. To provide a framework on walls for fixing sheet material. For fixing cup hooks, coat hooks, tool holders.

Resources Planed timbers – approximately 50 mm wide x 20 mm thick Sawn timbers – approximately 50 mm wide x 20 mm thick

January 2004


Battens The term batten has various meanings. For example, lengths of timber called battens are used by roof slaters and tilers to nail into when they are fixing slates/tiles. A more general understanding in construction is that battens are lengths of wood, planed or sawn, which are fixed to any kind of surface to form a framing or to provide a level backing on which to fix cladding, sheet or other materials. An example of a batten is a length of planed wood, about 50 mm wide x 20 mm thick, fixed horizontally, with screws, above a window opening to provide a base on which to screw the brackets for a curtain track. Battens can be fixed with nails or screws, depending on their use and position. On occasion, they can be bolted to metal components to provide a framework for fixing materials or components.

Resources Model cupboard door and frame Wooden wedges/props Screwdriver Container

January 2004


Hinges Butt hinges Butt hinges are commonly used for internal and external doors. They are recessed equally into the door and frame and, apart from the knuckle of the hinge, they cannot be seen when the door is closed. The two sides of the hinge butt up against each other when the door is closed and the screw holes are countersunk so that the screw heads can be driven in flush with the surface of the hinge. The screws are easily accessible when the door is fully open and the butts can be removed by first taking out the screws and then carefully easing them out of the recesses. Care should be taken to wedge up the door before removing the screws to avoid the door slipping down and causing damage.

Face fixing hinges Flush or face-fixing hinges are used for lightweight doors, e.g. cupboard doors. They do not need recessing and removal of the screws is straightforward. Care should be taken to avoid the door falling or slipping when the screws are being removed. Normally the screw holes are countersunk but occasionally round head or raised head screws are used.

Locks and door furniture Delivery Presentation

Show and describe the three main types of lock – mortice, cylinder, rim.

Student involvement

Ask students to describe the locks on the external door/s of their homes and, from those descriptions, to name the types of lock.

Possible responses:

Likely to be Yale (cylinder) on front door and mortice or rim on back door.

Resources Example doors and frames separately fitted with: Mortice lock/latch and lever furniture Cylinder lock Rim lock/latch with doorknobs

January 2004


Locks and door furniture The three main types of lock are mortice, cylinder and rim locks. All three types of lock are likely to be used on external doors but can also be found in other situations where security or privacy is required. Mortice and rim locks have a number of spring-loaded levers inside their cases that correspond to the shape of the key. Most locks have between three to five levers but high security locks are likely to have seven levers. The mortice is regarded as the most resistant to being forced and insurance companies will often ask for these to be fitted rather than the cylinder or rim lock. Cylinder locks have a different mechanism that enables them to have a tremendous range of key shapes. The rim fixing is, however, more susceptible to being forced and the shape of the latch which acts as the lock is not as secure as the mortice lock.

January 2004


Mortice locks/latches Delivery Presentation

Show and describe how to remove a mortice lock/latch and furniture from the example door and frame starting with removal of the doorknobs or lever furniture, then the spindle, then the cover plate and finally the mortice lock/latch case. The keep, the part that fits on the doorframe, can be removed before or after the lock. Replace the cover plate with the two countersunk butts since these can easily be lost. Place all components in a container for safe storage.

Student involvement

Ask students what would have to happen to the latch if the door was to be hung on the opposite side.

Response required:

The latch would need to be reversed.

Resources Example door and frame with mortice lock/latch fitted Screwdrivers Container Delivery Presentation

Demonstrate how the case of a mortice lock can be opened by removal of set screws. Describe how care must be taken to avoid disturbing the lever mechanism /springs when opening the case. Demonstrate how the latch can be taken out, reversed and refitted. Close the case and replace and tighten the set screws. Check that the key turns the lock and that the latch moves correctly.

Resources Mortice lock/latch Screwdriver

Student Activity Sheet 3C (see end of Work Activity Pack 3)

Each student to practice removing a mortice lock/latch and furniture and reversing the latch.

January 2004


Mortice locks/latches These are fitted into a rectangular hole cut into the side of the door. Although locks can be purchased on their own (these are called dead locks) it is usual for the lock to be incorporated into a combined lock and latch unit, the latch being moved by a spindle passing through the case. The spindle is turned by knobs or levers situated on both sides of the door. These are known as door furniture. To remove the mortice lock/latch the door furniture must first be removed by taking out the screws that hold them in place. The keyhole escutcheon may be separate or a keyhole incorporated into the handle plate. The spindle, which is square in section, is then withdrawn. The mortice case is now held by two screws that pass through the recessed forend plate, into the edge of the door. In most cases there is a forend, cover plate that is also within the recessed area. This is held by two small, countersunk headed bolts into the forend plate and covers the heads of the two screws. The cover plate is taken off and the two screws removed from the forend plate to allow the mortice case to be withdrawn from the door. All the different parts, screws etc., should be put into a container to avoid losing any of them. The latch mechanism can be reversed by carefully unscrewing the case and moving the latch into the opposite position. This enables the mortice lock/latch to be used on either left or right opening doors. The striking plate, or keep, for the lock and latch is recessed into the edge of the doorframe and can be removed by taking out the screws that hold it in position.

Demonstrate how to remove a cylinder lock and staple from a door hung on a doorframe. Describe the various parts as they are taken apart. Place all components in a container for safe storage.

Resources Example door and frame with cylinder lock fitted Screwdrivers Container

January 2004


Cylinder locks Cylinder locks (Yale and Chubb are well known manufacturers) are used primarily in external doors that need to be locked for the majority of the time. The lock is in three parts – the cylinder, the rim case and the staple (or keep). Both the cylinder and rim case are fixed to the door and the staple is fixed to the doorframe. The cylinder has a circular face into which the key is fitted. This is seen on the outside of the door. The circular body of the cylinder, which is smaller than the face, contains the mechanism that allows the key to turn and this runs through a hole that has been drilled in the stile of the door. A back plate, which is bolted to the cylinder and screwed into the door, holds the cylinder in place. The rim case is fixed with screws at the back of the door and is connected to the cylinder with a tongue of metal running from the cylinder into the lock. It is partially recessed into the edge of the door. To remove the cylinder lock components the rim case is unscrewed and taken off the door. Normally, there are six screws to remove, two countersunk in the edge and four round headed screws on the case. The back plate, which holds the cylinder, is then unscrewed/unbolted and the cylinder body and face withdrawn from the door. Finally, the keep is unscrewed and removed, normally two countersunk screws on recessed edge and two round headed screws on the main body of the keep. All components, keys and screws should be stored in a container. On most internal doors a latch only is required with matching door furniture.

Rim locks (with latch) These locks are fixed to the inside face of the door, with the end plate recessed into the edge of the door. The staple is similarly fixed to the inside face of the doorframe with the staple plate recessed into the frame. Knobs are used for the door furniture, together with a key escutcheon plate on the outside face of the door only. To remove the component parts the door furniture is unscrewed. The knobs are held onto the spindle with small set screws. After withdrawing the spindle, the screws can be removed from the rim lock body and then the keep. All parts should be stored in a container.

Bolts Bolts are fitted to many doors to give additional security. There are various shapes, sizes and uses. Two common bolts are the straight bolt and the necked bolt. Straight bolts are fixed to the inside face of the door and frame, usually with countersunk headed screws. They have a straight shoot with a corresponding keep. Generally, they are used for doors that open inwards.

Straight bolts

Cranked bolts are normally fitted to the inside face of doors that open outwards. The shoot is cranked and is designed to fit into a mortice keep plate that is recessed into the frame. Both bolt and mortice plates are fixed with countersunk headed screws.

Brackets Brackets are used for supporting components and may be made from wood, plastic or metal. Typical uses are for supporting shelves, fixing radiators to walls, supporting rainwater gutters and pipes, fixing waste pipes to walls. The shape of the bracket and the material it is made from will be determined by the function it is intended to carry out. Brackets are fixed to solid or hollow backgrounds (see reference material on fixings) and either screwed to the item being supported, as is the case with wooden shelves, or clipped into purpose built fixing points, as with radiators and rainwater gutters. Brackets are easily removed by extracting the screws holding them in position.

Rainwater goods The term rainwater goods includes all the components that make up the guttering that collects the water from a roof and the down pipes that carry the water from the guttering down to the drain or collecting system, e.g. water butt. Rainwater goods can be made in a variety of materials but the most commonly used are made in PVC due to their ease of fixing and their low maintenance requirements. There are various PVC systems available, each offering a variety of profile shapes, e.g. round, square. Colours are confined to white, grey, black and brown. Each system will offer a range of fittings, e.g. bends, stop ends, couplers and outlets, which clip together and have waterproof seals. Specially shaped PVC gutter brackets are screwed to the fascia board at the bottom of the roof and the gutter and/or fittings are clipped into place on the brackets. Some fittings can also act as brackets and be screwed direct to the fascia. Shaped PVC brackets are screwed to the wall to support the down-pipe and are clipped around the collars of the pipes and fittings, e.g. swan neck bends, shoes. The sizes of the brackets vary according to the fitting, gutter or pipe profiles, even on individual installations. Brackets are usually fixed at centres of about one metre.

January 2004


Rainwater goods (continued) To remove the guttering and pipes it is normal to first unclip the brackets holding the down-pipes and associated fittings and take down the pipe assembly for dismantling at ground level. The pipe brackets can then be unscrewed and removed. Next all gutter brackets can be unclipped from the gutter and fittings to enable the gutter assembly to be unclipped/dismantled in sequence. This is usually done at fascia level because of the lengths involved. The brackets can then be unscrewed from the fascia board. Screws, brackets and fittings should be stored in containers. Gutters and pipes should be stored on racks or similar to avoid distortion or damage.

January 2004


Pipes and fittings Delivery Presentation

Say that there are many different types of pipes and fittings used in construction.

Student involvement

Ask students for examples of where they have seen pipes and fittings being used.

Possible responses:

January 2004


Pipes and fittings For the purpose of this unit, the pipes and fittings referred to in the Award Details will be PVC waste pipes and fittings. Fittings will be compression and pushfit only. PVC Waste Pipes PVC waste pipes are normally 32 mm in diameter for sinks, showers and washbasins and 38 mm for baths. They can be white or black, white being the most common in use. Fittings A wide range of fittings is available which allow the pipe to be joined to sinks and sanitary fittings and, through bends and couplings, to be routed to discharge into soil pipes or gulleys. Traps, which use a water barrier to prevent sewer gases entering the building, can be made up of bends and short pieces of pipe.

The fittings are either compression, pushfit or solvent welded. Compression fittings have a seal and a tapered washer that grips the pipe when the compression nut is tightened. The nut is should be hand tightened and manufacturers discourage the use of spanners.

January 2004


Pipes and fittings (continued) Pushfit fittings have a simple, internal seal and the tightness of this on the pipe makes a leak proof joint.

Solvent weld fittings are glued to the pipe using a special solvent weld adhesive. These form a permanent fixing and cannot be removed other than by cutting. Waste pipes are held in place by PVC brackets that encircle the pipe and have flanges screwed to the background material. Removal of compression and pushfit fittings is relatively simple. Brackets are unscrewed and the fittings removed, either as in the case of the compression fittings, by unscrewing the nut and pulling out the pipe or, as in the case of pushfit fittings, simply pulling the fitting away from the pipes. Care should be taken when removing traps or connections to washing machines/dishwashers to avoid spilling the water that has remained in them. Fittings should be checked, cleaned and assembled before storing. Waste pipes can be reused although they may, of course, need to be re-cut to suit the new lengths required.
