"My wife is physically handicapped and relies on a walker and a wheelchair," said an inventor from Carmichael, Calif. "This makes it difficult to open the patio doors every time the dogs want to go outdoors."

This inspired the inventor to design a solution.

Ideal for people with physical disabilities, the ergonomic and easy-to-use PATIO DOOR BUDDY enables a user to open patio doors in an easier manner, which avoids strain and hassle, and leaves the hands free. Overall, this promotes convenience. The inventor has created a prototype of his design.

The original design was submitted to the Sacramento office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 13-SAH-562, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

BRADFORD - Home Depot has been fined $90,000 after a worker was injured by falling merchandise last year at the company's Bradford store.

The fine was imposed Tuesday in a Barrie court following a Ministry of Labour investigation into the accident which took place on April 27 2013.

The ministry says a worker was preparing to receive a load of merchandise from a trailer backed into the receiving area of the Holland Street West store and was struck by a pallet of patio doors which were knocked over by a door on the loading bay. The pallet fell about 11 feet, according to the ministry, and the worker suffer injuries to the head, resulting in paralysis and fractures.

Home Depot of Canada Inc. pleaded guilty to failing as an employer to ensure that the measures and procedures prescribed by law were carried out in the workplace - in this case, that a pallet loaded with patio doors was placed and/or stored in a position that allowed it to tip when the load made contact with the bay door.

The company was fined $90,000 by Justice of the Peace Brian O. Norton.

In addition to the fine, the court imposed a 25-per-cent victim fine surcharge as required by the Provincial Offences Act. The surcharge is credited to a special provincial government fund to assist victims of crime.

If you're choosing bi-fold doors, you need to choose big.

U nlike French windows and sliding patio doors, bi-fold doors consist of three or more doors that fold back on themselves and sit flat against one or both walls, depending if they open in the middle or at the side.

There's no way around it, they look at their most spectacular spanning a whole wall, or even walls, and w hen the weather's nice, you can fold them back to open up the most stunning entertaining space.

The cost of the doors will vary, depending on the size of the opening, whether the doors are a standard size or made to measure, and what they're made of (typically wood, UPVC or aluminium). Companies that make bespoke bi-fold doors often install them and provide a guarantee, giving you convenience and peace of mind.

Bi-fold doors are most effective when the floor and ground level on either side of them is the same. This may involve some work in the garden, but it will improve the indoor-outdoor flow and increase the 'wow' factor, especially if you use the same, or similar, flooring inside and out, perhaps slate tiles. Inside, the new doors may mean you have to replaster, redecorate and move things, such as radiators, sockets and switches, but p lanning permission isn't usually required.

That said, there are exceptions. For example, planning may be needed for homes on 'designated land', like conservation areas - check with your local council if in doubt. If your home's listed, you'll need listed building consent from the council to fit bi-fold doors, and if you live in a leasehold flat or house, you may need the freeholder's permission.

If you fit the doors yourself, or get a builder to do it, it's vital to get the work checked and signed off by a building control inspector, either from your local council or a private firm, to ensure it complies with building regulations. The easiest option is to use a window and door company that can self-certify their work complies, such as companies belonging to FENSA (www.fensa.co.uk).

Either way, you'll need a building regs certificate for the doors, otherwise you may have a problem when you try and sell your home.

Unless you have an existing window/door that's the same as, or bigger than, the size of the opening required for the bi-fold doors, a new lintel will have to be fitted above the opening for support. Your first step (at the planning stage) should be to consult a structural engineer, or use a reputable window and door company to supply and fit the doors. It should carry out a survey and then do whatever's necessary to make your home structurally sound.

Burglars target homes with windows left open in hot weather in Shirley area of Southampton

2:48pm Tuesday 22nd July 2014 in News By Melanie Adams, Crime Reporter

HOMEOWNERS are being warned to keep their homes secure in the hot weather after a spate of burglaries in Southampton.

Four homes in Shirley have been targeted in the last four days as thieves make the most of unlocked doors and open windows.

The latest incident came in the early hours of yesterday morning when thieves got into a flat in Mansel Road West through an unsecure window, taking electrical items as well as a silver Toyota Enigma after finding the car keys in a handbag they stole.

On Friday a handbag was stolen from a home in Lancaster Road after patio doors were left open, while thieves also got into a home in Rosewall Road via an open back door.

In the early hours of Saturday morning a hooded thief entered a home in Palm Road before running off with a purse. Police believe he may have got in by putting his hand through the letterbox on the front door and releasing the handle.

Anyone with information about these should contact Police Staff Investigator Kelly Godden at Shirley police station on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

A quick witted Crewe landlord made a citizen's arrest of a burglar who stole over 3000 worth of goods

THE landlord of the Coach and Horses, in Crewe, helped to catch a 22-year-old burglar, just hours after he committed the crime.

At 2.55pm last Tuesday officers from Cheshire Police were called to reports of a burglary at an address in Middlewich Road, Bradfield Green, Crewe.

On arrival at the scene officers found that the offender had forced entry into the address through the patio doors and had stolen over 3000 worth of property.

Later on the same day, at approximately 9.45pm, officers received a 999 call from the landlord of the nearby pub, the Coach and Horses, reporting that he and his friend had detained a man after they spotted him shining a torch into a bush near to the house that had been burgled, before pulling out a holdall full of property.

Officers attended the scene and on arrival arrested a man on suspicion of burglary.

Following a full search of the mans address, and forensic checks, 22-year-old Aivaras Stonys, from Underwod Lane, Crewe, was charged with burglary.

Stonys appeared at Crewe Magistrates Court at on July 17, where he was remanded in custody.

Inspector Christian Watkins, from Crewe Neighbourhood Policing Unit, said: Information from the public is vital in our fight against crime. We do not proactively advise people to conduct citizens arrests, but in this case the help of two local residents has helped to reunite a family with their property.

"I would advise anyone who sees anything suspicious in their local communities to contact Cheshire Police on 101, or alternatively in an emergency call 999."
