## The Ordering Process – Step by Step
Here is a step by step breakdown of our toilet door replacement journey.
### How We Got Started
I sent a WhatsApp message to **9898 9268**.
They responded quickly – no phone calls needed.
- Door size
- HDB location
- Our requirements
Saves time.
### The Measurer Came to Us
We scheduled a **free on-site measurement** .
On the day of the visit:
- The technician arrived within the promised window
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- We picked our preferred style – white powder coated finish
- He measured everything twice like a true professional
**Important note:** A deposit is required during the visit. No cheques – we used PayNow.
Also, make sure the **decision maker** is home. Ask me how I know.
### Step 3: The Manufacturing Period
After we approved everything and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take **about 3-4 weeks**. We waited 18 days – right in the middle of their estimate.
I was getting antsy by week three. But when installation day finally arrived, it was completely worth the wait.
### What Happened on Installation Day
The night before, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a time slot. They gave us a morning slot.
The installer arrived at the promised time. Friendly, uniformed, and fully prepared..
He:
- Removed our old rotting wooden door
- Installed the new slide and swing door
- Cleaned up everything before leaving
Before he left, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were completely satisfied. Great after-sales service.
We paid the remaining balance on the spot via PayNow.

## Living with the Slide and Swing Door
It's been over a month now, and here is my unfiltered opinion: **Best home improvement decision we made for 2026.**
### The Benefits
| Aspect | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Saving** | Bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **Trackless Floor** | I just mop right under the door. Goodbye mouldy bifold door grooves. |
| **How It Feels** | Glides like butter. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Humidity Proof** | Zero swelling, warping, or rot. Perfect for Singapore's humidity. |
| **Looks** | Looks way more expensive than $399. Modern and premium. |
### Honest Criticisms
Honestly, there's very little to dislike, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Wait time** – 3 weeks was tough but expected. Order early if you're in a rush
- **Cancellation fee** – $40 if you cancel after measurement. Reasonable – their time isn't free
- **Appointment only** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. WhatsApp first!
That's all I've got.
