Dear All

Quick question, what type of padlock are you all using for the main gate? It seems as though the HDB given gate can only fit a certain type of padlock? I wanted to get the Duro padlock from DIY shop but not sure whether it will fit?

mm.. i jus used a Yale Lock.. hook n lock on the loop of the gate's inner side.. i'm pretty OK with it.. so far so gd.. i tot of using those clam on the outer side.. but saw neighbour's 1 can't really fit n hv to give a little force to close the gate.. so i dropped the idea of clamming on the outside.. jus make do with the loop given on the inner side..

Hi,

Mine is also Duro padlock got from Home Fix, but its the smaller one, ART 320 which fits into the hole etc Coz the big one for the gate has 2 joints, so decided not to get.

So far it works and fits well, easy to open and close, just remember to get the bigger clamp for the lock instead of the smaller one

Yesterday my mum bought padlocks from People's Park. Overhead bridge shops..

Lock very solid and heavy and cost less than $30.

I will post the pic this late afternoon.

My shower rod also bought from there. Rod made from Aluminium and the two ends drill not mounted.

The bomboo hanger also bought from there, very heavy and solid.

Also bought the 2 tier right angle tray, that will be mounted to the toilet corner. Made from aluminium (the ah pek told my mum will not rust).

Also bought the padlock from the main wooden door. (lock from inside).

It is a 5 gold shop, specialised in those metal thinggie thing. Feel that their price is very low compare to others.

Hey everybody, did your front metal gate cover up with a plastic sheet??

Where can I get the plastic sheet??

Some of them drill while some use double sided tape.

Any ideas where can I get it?

From 5 gold shop also?

Hi Happy,

I hope that you did not purchase those lock which can be easily open.

Simple lock can be open by just a small wire or universal key. Do check with your "5 gold shop"

The key is semi round and the lock is very heavy.

For those getting Castle lock, hear my story. I did call the person installing the lock n price was abt $40 more then getting the lock from People's park. When I queried why so X, they said installation not as simple as i think. They will need to drill a screw onto my gate. So to save cost, I decided to do my own installation. But guess what? We almost had to get a locksmith to come open it up.

Just 3 days after installing the lock, my mom was locked in. The lock refuse to bulge when the key was turned. After much trying, finally opened. So she got out thinking should be ok now. But jus to be sure, she lock it n open just to try again. And! The lock refused to bulge again. Jus imagine when she called me n said the lock cant open n she cant get in to the house. Luckily my bro whom is working nearby came to help her. After trying for a good 5 mins, the lock finally unlocked!

Immediately that day, i dismantle the lock and went back to get it change. The uncle could only tell me maybe cos it's a good lock, it's rather sensitive to movement. (So maybe that's why the installer said need to drill screw onto the gate - to stable the lock). So once there's movement on the alignment, the lock will not release its "catch". In the end, I took his suggestion to change to another brand rather then take the risk of changing the same lock n getting locked in.

Is it my luck? Cos i have seen many units using Castle lock... that's y i decided to buy that.

i got the castle one... .as per the one you see in the lift. That guy selling for 150 i heard... but got it at Sing Ma Hup Kee Hardware @ 112 after GST.
