No, the Adjustable FloorLock system is designed to be user-friendly and can be installed by homeowners with basic tools and a general understanding of floor structures. However, if you are not a confident DIYer and have experience of using the tools required, it may be beneficial to contract a professional to install the Adjustable FloorLock system. It will still prove to be a more cost-effective method of reinforcing and correcting the usual floor issues it was designed too. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide.
You can install the Adjustable FloorLock system yourself if:
• You’re Comfortable with DIY Projects.
• You have experience with a power driver.
• You understand how to access the floor joists.
• The joists are exposed or easy to access (e.g., in an open basement, or easily exposed during a renovation).
• You’re reinforcing a small area with no significant structural issues.
Consider hiring a professional if:
• Significant levelling or rectification is required, and you’re unsure about any of the above.
• Access is limited or difficult (e.g., the joists are behind a finished ceiling in an area that’s hard to reach.
• You’re not comfortable cutting access in ceiling and reinstalling drywall/plasterboard after.
