Tashi Clutched November 30, 2009 Share November 30, 2009 hi mate Not sure if this is what you like. Ours had the same problem. I got fillers to fill in the cracks, after sanding down the rough surfaces due to peeling and removed the old paint, then repainted it, this time not the lacquer but paint. Ended up the door looked much better. Hope this might help (and save some money). blessings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackRabbit 3rd Gear November 30, 2009 Share November 30, 2009 HDB has some guidelines on what is approved for such work. You may refer to for the list of can-dos. Also, there is a list of approved contractors that you may wish to look at to ensure if things go wrong, you have some recourse for recovery.

Ysc3 Twincharged November 30, 2009 Share November 30, 2009 i dunno if this is found in the hdb website, but in future, if you sell your flat, you must put back the original stock door or a door of simillar properties. if you are in no real hurry, can just sit and wait till one fine day when a neighbour changes his door to a fanciful one and then you grab the old one he throws away. no joke !! i did that for my old lock ... new one abt $100, so one fine day saw a front door being throw away, went down in the middle of the night and removed the lock and then changed the camlock for under $10 and got a working lock again.

Shinigaimi Neutral Newbie November 30, 2009 Share November 30, 2009 No budget. The front door need to be SCDF approved. Was renovating my new hse a few mths ago. Was quoted at least $500 for the door. So just sand and repaint it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yr1985 1st Gear November 30, 2009 Share November 30, 2009 Check your door for PSB sticker, if none, check whether your door consist of 3 layers, 2 wooden planks with fireproof material in between. If it is fire proof, it's $1200 inclusive PSB certification, door viewer, door locks and door closer, Indent takes a month. If it is normal wooden door, few hundred for the plain ones and few thousands for the designer ones. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
