How do you hang a wreath on an aluminum front door?
We have a new constuction home and the front door is aluminum (nonferrous) with insulating filler. The magnetic hooks dont attract to aluminum. Also, the peel and stick hooks from 3M dont stay on because we live in Northern Ohio and its way cold. They fall off after a couple days of cold/snow. Is it ill-advised to be drilling into the door to screw on a hook?How do you hang a wreath on an aluminum front door?Use a hanger that fits around the top of the door.Like this one.wreathwww.ardenwebsales.com How do you hang a wreath on an aluminum front door?Go to your hobby/craft shop and get a hanger that goes over the top of the door.

How to remove a keyed chain lock from my front/back doors without a key?
When we bought our house, the former owners didn't leave us with a key for the chain lock at the front door and back doors. Problem is, I want it gone because we're painting the baseboards and I can't get it off without a key. It's the kind that attaches to the door and interior wall. I've removed the part from the door but can't get the part from the wall off. The chain is hanging by the side of the door and the attached end of the chain slides into some kind of mechanism that's locked. I've tried hammering it off, no luck. Any suggestions.
Cheryl.How to remove a keyed chain lock from my front/back doors without a key?Try drilling out the lock by using a sharp quarter inch drill bit.
Aim the bit in your electric drill at the top of the lock front right where the top of the key would go in. The idea is to drill out the tumblers that are keeping the lock cylinder from turning and coming out. Keep it up tight against that top piece and drill most of the way through. After that you should be able to turn that cylinder just the way the key does. If you can't get it to turn after that hole, then get a 3/8%26quot; drill bit and put its point into the first hole to drill the opening larger.How to remove a keyed chain lock from my front/back doors without a key?bolt cuttersHow to remove a keyed chain lock from my front/back doors without a key?The cylinders in those chain locks are very cheaply made. You can either drill out the cylinder until you destroy the tumblers, then open with a screwdriver (messy), or, grind off the portion containing the cylinder with an angle grinder. (a little less messy).
Once the lock portion is off, the mounting screws will be exposed.

How do I lift the front end of my truck so it is level with the back?
I have a 94 Dodge 4x4 Pick Up. The back of the truck sits higher than the front and I want to level it out. Also, I have 33%26quot; tires that rub in the front if I turn too sharp, it is a HUGE hassle and I must get it fixed. What can I do? Cheapest route and prices?How do I lift the front end of my truck so it is level with the back?There are a few companies out there that sell front end lift kits for 4-wheel drive trucks. I think Summitracing is one of them. You just need to get a front end lift kit and that should solve both of your problems. In the oldin days when trucks had leaf front and rear suspensions it was really easy to do, you just added blocks. With todays indipendant suspension however, you will need a kit. Summit racing does sell a 2 inch front leveling kit (part number: SUM-G783) for $121.95. Good luck and Merry Christmas!How do I lift the front end of my truck so it is level with the back?Go to an alignment shop and see if your torsion bars are adjusted wrong if your truck is equipped with them. The torsion bars adjust the ride height. Then they can use the alignment machine as a level. It will give the mechanic info as to where the ride height is at and what part of the truck needs to be raised or lowered.
If it's not equipped with torsion bars the can shim it up to make it level.How do I lift the front end of my truck so it is level with the back?Back in the day, we would put wood blocks between the leaf springs and the axles of our trucks to raise them a little. Picky people will scoff at that but it works and it's cheap.
Other than that pick up a copy of any of the 4x4 magazines at the store. Plenty of lift kit options in there.How do I lift the front end of my truck so it is level with the back?can u put air shocks in maybe??cheap and simple

How can I make my front porch inviting - at the end of winter in Michigan?
Our house is going up for sale this week, and my front porch is covered and it has a metal glider and matching table on it. It's swept and cleaned as good as it can be.
I understand you are supposed to make a good impression for showings at the front door, but it's 39 and dreary here, so no flowers yet.
Any ideas?How can I make my front porch inviting - at the end of winter in Michigan?An attractive statue, some fake plants, maybe you could get annuals, put them in pretty pots or baskets, and bring them inside at night.fever vc
