    What are the most secure night latches?

    Are some night latches more secure than others? If so, what should I look for? It's for the door of my flat. There's a better lock on the communal door but I haven't got permission to add another lock to my door yet. So, I’m wondering if I can get a better night latch?

    Outdoor newly rendered wall showing signs rustings on the edges

    Hi there As part of landscaping project, we had new raised plant beds built using grey blocks which were rendered using sand and cement with appropriate additives. We painted it once rendering completed.The edges of these beds where beads were put are now showing sign of rustings that are gradually appearing and growing through the whole length of the beads. The landscaper says it may be paint reacting and we can use stain blocker paint to prevent. Can you advise probable cause and potential remediations for the same please?
