  4. Veneer doors have hollow, semi-solid & solid. when i did mine, i when down to factory to chk it out b4 i mk my purchase. & i learn the following & hope that they can be help to you. Hollow - typically using HONEYCOMB cardboard. which is extremely light weight & least durable Semi-solid - filled with @ least 2cm wood strip in d door with maximum 20cm gap each. Heavier than hollow & more contact with glue thus more durable & less hollow knocking sound Solid - Fully filled with wood with not gap within, mostly used for main door. most durable & most ex. Hollow price are super cheap like $200+++ cos material used is very little. Semi-solid are usually range @ $300+ cos they are solid wood strip & weight @ least 20kg more than hollow Solid will cost u ard $400 for room & $500+ for main door which are thicker. So here u have it. dont get charge for Semi-solid when they give u hollow doors.. haha
  5. Haha!! that was 1 of the model i used to "beo", but Samsung SHS-1110 is quite an old model. Was already off the shelves when i made my purchase 1 mth bk. the last time i chk out the rates, they were clearing it @ $399 with installation not sure gt GST incl or not. But even with GST max u pay is only $427. you can call that SE who sold me my YALE to check if he still hv stock. PM me if u need their contacts he's quite a helpful chap & gave me Yale vouchers when i buy YDR2108. my personal opinion is i rather pay a bit more for newer models cos they tend to be more updated in terms of software & aesthetics.
  6. same prob with my in-laws!! hahah those supplier super hit&run biz. haha.. i installed a bifold latch on d door to frame.. 3 its a unglam quick fix. but its locks.. they r currently looking for replacements doors as well. d cheapest we looked ard was those aluminum ones which cost ard $190 or those super old type of multi-folding ones @ $150
  7. i thk u cn change doors lor. cos u cant unwarp a door. & i tot most cabinet door r not solid timber, they wont warp rite? all my cabinets are compress chipboards. many years liao nvr gt warp prob..
  8. hope its not too late. my dad used to be a carpenter. sm things u cn change for your self 1. cos tt day, when i gt my digital door lock installed, he also showed me how he change d gate lock. its really simple if u hv the tools. if nt, there is a cheaper alternative. if u r redo-ing any of ur doors. ask the carpenter to help u change them. he usually will ask for a smaller sum compared to locksmiths. eg: locksmiths: - $20 transport - $20 - 80 labor per lock - $$$ mark up for locks sold to u. carpenter - waived transport, since he's already there - $5 - 40 labor per lock - $$ lesser mark up. or if u wanna DIY u need to take gd measurements & bring ard ur old lock to look for replacement. i when to this industrial bldg in Bedok, brought d old locks & they tot me to diy. i got the locks @ distributor price & save $$ on labor. PM me if u need help

    Bedrooms Door

    wow.. Classic doors are like those ikea furniture.. kena water will dis-integrate 1 + if i nt wrong inside also hollow.. bad news bro, cant do anything w it i guess.
  10. Pure stainless steel 1 cost ard $9+ i thk. [which i thk a bit ex la.] i got mine non-S/Steel @ $4.50 in this shop in bedok when i did my doors. but tt shop got pure stainless steel 1. u cn call them @ 64424904 to check it out
  11. yeah! i thk only 1 lock is not reliable. i prefer a tradition key lock for gates 2. i'm using the new YALE digital YDR2108. installed above my existing lock. then change the cylinders to for door & gate to key-alike. traditional locks only used @ nite, lock before we slp. a bit kiasu i knw.
  12. actually i very suay 1. nobody @ my plc during the day, then my neighbor's kids like to play along d corridor. & they find my lock fascinating & like to play with it. sm time i came hm realizing the lid was open.. d final call was they put super glue on the glass where the scanner was. & nw 'MY SUPPLIER" [no names mentioned, cos dun wanna spoil ppl's biz] has not stock since they hd discontinued item cos the new tech is RFID's nw. so they r stopping biometrics. while my warranty period had expired, more than 1 yr. they say if i wanna replc the damage glass. i gotta wait 3mths for them to freight the spares in or they offer me to buy their newer models @ a lower cost. which i had no confidence in them... Now im considering either Yale or Samsung, [not to mk advert for the them, but its really safer/reliable over d long run] Moreover i gotta knw of this shop www.contatdecor.com tt is selling Yale @ sm promo rate. So for all those who r buying this Digital lock, this shop gave me a really gd advise: if u r replacing your gate, u can get them to customize it in the sense tt i blocks the lock when its close so tt u avoid UNNECESSARY ATTENTION & ppl can play with it.
  13. hahah.. singapore got not gun la!! hahahah seriously hardcore stuff there..
  14. oh no bro.. Just a word of advice.. personally i wont recommend to by from sm small scale supplier.. cos sm of them maybe hit&run biz.. no offence... y not consider a reputable brand? they will hv better service support & spare parts in stock. if i tell u my story of tt lousy biometric i bought 1yr+ ago.. u will cry for me.... im totally skeptical & will only go for big names for reliability & i make sure they r prominent player in d mkt & hv gd service support. ps im nt here to slam & promote any brand but its personal experience.
  15. 1. i would recommend Gatemen for sure.. Samsung looks really chio but they r only using the brand name. 2. i think the hype abt d fingerprint is really getting stale.. cos my previous lock was damage cos someone [suspect my neighbor's kid] go put super glue on the glass, ] then when i contact the company. they tell me the 1yr warranty period is over & changing the glass will cost $500.. eventually, i only use the pin number to enter... 3. i thk currently, there is the YALE DIGITAL lock which I heard from tt imm shop tt Yale bought over gatemen. & u may not see any new gatemen in d future. i thk most of them will only make d alarm sound if u play with it for too long. 4. & yes i thk both samsung, gatemen & yale has fire-safety, but non of them are fire-proof cost hey are plastic & obviously will melt. I'm actually boycotting those fingerprints 1 nw. cos i rather scan card or key in password. now im looking for this YALE model. they just launch recently & got some promo price. price in very good nw.. that model i like was selling @ only $788 with installation. & i thk i knw 1 shop can fetch me a better discount
  16. totally got what u r talking abt.. what was the problem?? rusty & noisy? hahah... my renovator introduce me this shop in Bedok industrial. they sold me that hinge for $9 per pc. but they those plastic ones in beige color. the "metal body" version is around $18 per pc. but they only hv 1 size, so u gotta take out one of the hinge when u go down, so that u buy d right stuff.. i lost the address of that plc & d name of the shop. but i only hv d tel in my hp. call: 64424904 they are the wholesaler of many items & are very bz. So u gotta look for this guy call Jonas, he'll knw what u r looking for. Best of luck!
