ian balson Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Hello All, What do I need to fit durable-dot fasteners onto half doors. Are there specials tools required? Thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Carmichael Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 You need a punch to make the hole and a mandrel and backplate to press the rivet-like centre. Can't remember where I got mine - a haberdashers maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashaughnessy Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 I'm pretty sure Frost (http://www.frost.co.uk/) does a durable dot tool thingy. Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prs Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Haberdasers or a good linen shop stock a complete kit, think mine cost about £4.50ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridgway Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 you can get them from caterham. I also have a spare which I have been known to lend to people! If you want to borrow mine, let me know with a snail mail address and I'll post it to you. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil P Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Got mine from Woolies, a specialist trim supplier. Its consists of a madrel & backplate as Peter C describes. From memory, mine was about £13. Woolies are at www.woolies-trim.u-net.com or call 01778 347347. I've only ever bought mail order from them but they have always been very helpful.
