Summer time is here and with it hot temperatures and humid air.夏令时间是在这里和与它炎热和潮湿的空气。 Even with our甚至与我们的 turbine vents涡轮喷口 on the roof helping to get rid of the rising hot air in the house and our在屋顶上帮助摆脱上升的热空气在众议院中和我们 exterior solar blinds外部太阳能百叶窗 helping to reduce the direct sun light from overheating our home, we still need to use the air conditioner.帮助减少直接阳光从经济过热，我们的家，我们仍然需要使用空调。

One of our daughters lives in our basement.我们的一个女儿住在我们的地下室。 Her bedroom had the requisite vent in the drop ceiling.她的卧室有必要发泄在下拉的上限。 This of course is a good thing in the winter for hot air from the furnace.这当然是一件好事，在冬季的热空气从炉。 But, in the summer the last thing she needs is cold air conditioned air coming out of the vent into the room that is naturally cool.但是，在今年夏天的最后一件事，她需要的是冷空调，空气中走出来的通风口进入房间，自然是很酷。

So, I went to close the vent and discovered that the prior owners of our house had installed the vent covers with wire.所以，我去了密切的通风口，发现事先的业主我们家安装了通风口，包括用电线。 What I mean is that they had installed stiff wire running through the duct work at each end of the vent opening.我的意思是，他们已安装的激烈线贯穿胆管工作在每个月底，通风口的开放。 This stiff wire was then tied to the vent cover’s grill.这刚性线，然后绑在发泄涵盖的烧烤。

Yes, this was an effective way to hang the vent cover.是的，这是一个有效途径坑通风口的封面。 But, this wire prevented the vent cover’s interior ‘flaps’ from closing.但是，这丝阻止发泄包括内部的'瓣'从闭幕。 The result was that there was no way to close the vent cover and prevent the cold air conditioned air from entering an already cool room.其结果是，有没有办法关闭通风口的封面和防止冷空调的空气从已经进入了一个冷静的空间。

We needed a new solution.我们需要一个新的解决方案。

Sure we would replace the current vent cover with one that was actually meant to go in a basement ceiling.相信我们会取代目前的发泄包括与一，这是实际上的意思去在一个地下室的上限。 You know the kind, the one that has a hole for a screw on either end, and the one whose packaging says it is a ‘Ciling Register’, just like this one?你知道什么样，一个有一个洞，一个螺丝钉就的两端，以及一，其包装说，这是一个' ciling注册' ，就像这一个呢？

However, those screw holes  are great to use in a drywall ceiling.然而，这些螺丝孔都是伟大的使用在一个drywall上限。 Just use a drywall plug.只需使用一drywall堵塞。 But have you ever tried to use one a drywall plug / anchor in a crip ceiling tile?但您是否曾经试图用1 1 drywall ，插头/锚在一个crip上限瓷砖？

Doesn’t work, for very long, does it.不工作，很长，是否。

Come back tomorrow when we tell you the solution we used to see if it might work for you as well.明天回来时，我们会告诉您，解决我们所用，看看是否有可能为您工作，以及。 This situation has always puzzled me for years and every time I would go to a building supply retail store it seemed to confuse them as well.这种情况一直困惑我多年，每一次我会去一个大厦供应的零售商店，它似乎混淆他们以及。 Now, at least I have one way that will actually let the vent cover close when you need it to close.现在，至少我有一个方式，其实是让发泄包括关闭当您需要关闭。
