eipsy 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2008 guys/gals, while i was at my place on monday, my neighbour was getting their metal gate welded. My neighbour then approach me telling me that there are cases of flats being broken into and their items stolen. The guy that did the welding told me that it is very easy to remove the whole gate as the current joints are not being welded. These current joints are basically used to hold the gate only. I engaged the guy to carry out welding for my gate and he charged $20 per joint. in total 3 joints are needed to secure the door. Before he could carry out the welding works, he have to remove the current joints and indeed, it took him less than 1 min to remove each joint My advise is get this welding works carried out to prevent any break-in cases among us. Btw, i have gotten my keys and reno works is already in progress... cya guys and gals ard Hi all, I just met up with a reno contractor at my hse yesterday, I showed him the metal gate and asked if it was a concern... he told me actually, even if you dun weld it, it cannot be taken off if your metal gate is locked. To remove the joints/ the gate door, the gate has to be opened first in order for the gate door to be lifted up and removed. So...if robbers have opened the gate, there's no need for them to remove the gate from its hinges... He says a lot of pple are being 'conned' to weld their gates by the welding contractor.. Is the reno contractor correct? what do you all think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSA 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) I have discovered another anomaly: All Extruded Aluminium Casement Window (Bronze Anodized) do not have a rubber weather stripping at the bottom sash. I am unable to fathom why the bottom sash is naked when it is the part that needs a weather stripping most! Other than a sinister conspiracy comes to mind. Please check all casement windows in your unit whether they have a rubber weather stripping at the bottom sash and post your findings here and then you can lodge an enquiry to HDB.
