Nice handle and lock...How much did you pay for the Yale door handles I was thinking of just changing my keyhole...:notti: How much did you get the Duro lock for?

I bought the Duro lock( Model ART 338) for $120, the Yale handle set for $70. I oso bought a Duro keyhole($60) to replace the Yale lock set's key hole & ask the locksmith to modify the Duro's keyhole so dat it uses the same key as my Duro lock. I dun like to carry a big bunch of keys when i go out :D Bought a letterbox lock oso. So i need to carry only 3 keys. 1 for the lock & wooden door, 1 for the wrought iron gate & 1 for the letterbox :notti:

Last nite i DIY & install the Yale lock set liao. Looks quite nice on the newly painted doors :P Have a more modern look compared to the old antique looking handle set on the wood colour door :good: Will take pics later :D

Side Facing Outside The House.

Before...Same Old Antique Looking Handle zz

th_89171_20032007385_122_506lo.jpg

After...If Click On The Pics To Enlarge The Image, Can See The Keyhole Is Rustic Colour Coz I've Change The Original Yale Keyhole To The Duro Keyhole. & Duro Dun Have Silver Keyhole, So No Choice Bought The Rustic Colour 1.

The newly painted door & the new handle set gives a much nicer effect compared to the old setup.

Before... Dull Looking :jawdrop:

th_08420_16032007349_122_393lo.jpg

After... The New Handle Set, New Colour Door & Wrought Iron Blends Quite Nicely :dunno:

Quite an interesting idea...to change the keyhole so that you carry fewer keys... Your lock is not too ex. Can consider...where did you get it from? At Odie's reno T-blog, someone reported a burglar broke into a flat with a $200 lock ;)...

Fwah really ah :unsure: $200 lock oso kana broke in! The burglar hack the lock or wat? Or they pick the lock? Got the link to Odie's reno T-Blog? His T-blog is like 100+ page, very difficult to fine the post talking abt the burglar. I bought the lock from a locksmith shop in jalan besar. The shop at a corner beside a motor shop. The name of the shop is Goodluck Locksmith Service. It's near to the food court. Homefix oso selling Duro lock but i think the price more ex. Here is a link :

No details of how at the T-blog; the original source, if I remember correctly, was the New Paper. Thanks for the link... it was very informative. Think I better take a picture of my gate to confirm the right lock with the shopkeeper.

Ya better take picture & show the locksmith. Some wrought iron gate cannot use this lock becoz of the design of the gate.

No le no tiles for my kitchen walls. Cut cost lo. Juz plaster & paint. But the paint oso not cheap. Using wash & wear. But wash & wear dun have the colour we wanted, so gonna specially mix to get the colours we want.

Hi mintee, Furniture Club have a few showrooms in S'pore. I went to the 1 at Furniture Mall at Beach Rd. They have another 1 at Sungei Kadut. I think 1 more in IMM. This is their website http://www.furnitureclub.com.sg/site/main.html !!

I bought my dining table at S'pore Expo when Furniture Club is there on some home furniture exhibition. Bought it as a package. The package is $3588, consists of L Shape Sofa + 4 Pcs Throw Cushions, Dining Table + 4 Pcs Dining Chairs, Coffee Table & TV Console :D

1 thing i like about the L shape sofa is dat it uses Latex, same as those used in beds. Very firm & nice to sit on & backside dun feel hot if sit too long :P Unlike some sofas i sat on, too soft, like i'm sinking into the sofa(maybe i too fat liao :P ). & when i stand up, the fabric becomes crumple coz it sink in too much when i sat on it. & the 4 throw cushions have goose feathers inserts :(

No the dining table is not black glass top, it's those transparent tampered glass. If black glass top, cannot c the design of the centre piece dat supports the glass top liao :) Can click on the pics to enlarge the pics.

All my furnitures will be delivered on Friday. I'll take a clearer pics of it. Sorry for the lousy quality of some pics i took. Coz all the pictures is taken with my handphone :sport-smiley-004:
