Cos one end is just a stud blocking the hole, and the other one is a longer stud connecting the 2 hinges internally. I don't even think you can weld the 2 studs to the hinges. As for the Mr Kor's version, it uses a bolt and nut system whereby the nut is screwed into the long bolt and then it is welded together. Of cos unless you can find the exact size & length of the bolt and nut for our hinges, than you can "try" welding them together. My suggestion is for you to try Sungei Road area to source for the bolts and nuts which I would expect probably $2 or lesser per set. Hope that helps.

frederick_chia 1 Report post Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) Last Sat afternoon I heard that my Indian neighbour complained and called police to come when my sub-con was smoking outside my door while waiting for me to come. I feel so bad for my sub-con. On the other contrary, I caught him playing cricket ball with his son last Friday night as well his son likes to throw a lot of his big toys outside the common area of our house. Looks like I got an "irritating" neighbour who likes to complain about others & not leading by example himself. Think I better watch my back (or rather my house!)....Ha Ha Ha!!!

DSA 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) Photos of the welded joint would help. The camera will need to switch to macro mode for good close-up shots of the welded joints under very good lighting. Photobucket provides good photo hosting.

frederick_chia 1 Report post Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) yo fred... just curious... did the guy "Mr Kor" knocked off the joints when u had your gate opened or shut... Both opened & also closed. The gate is closed wen he demonstrate how to whack off the bottom stud of my choice. Subsequently, the remaining opened. I think I know what you wana ask. The gate provided by the HDB is supposed to have interlocking slots which people cannot open the gate even though they are locked. These interlock slots are the silver latches @ the side of the gates. With these 2 slots locked (1 to the top of the metal gate frame & 1 to your floor tile or kerb), even if the hinges are whacked, they prevent the gate from being pulled out of the frame. If there 2 slots are not locked, once the hinges are whacked, even an Abloy lock cannot prevent the gate from being pulled out of the frame. As for how the hinges are being whacked, it's very simple. If you can remember the 2 round marble size metal thing at the hinges, the top round is the longer stud, & the bottom round is the shorter stud. You just need to use your hammer to knock at 45 degrees at the bottom stud & it will drop off immediately. Thereafter, you can just pull the longer stud out of the hinge. As for how Mr Kor's welding does the magic, a long bolt is replacing the longer stud & the nut replaces the bottom stud. Only difference now is that the nut is screwed upwards by the screw threads of the long bolt. After it reaches the maximum of the hinges & cannot be screwed further upwards, the nut is being welded to the bolt, 'melting' the two separate items into one. Hope it's not too technical for you all. I'll try to take pictures later this evening when I drop by my place. Else, hope someone else can post the pics of the before & after of the hinges.

The higher management will be coming to LG today, Tuesday. Welding will be done at my place on wednesday. no other dates. so bo bian, take loh. This metal gate issue hasalready been brought up to the higher management. The same matal gate is being used in Sengkang, punggol and Bedok. all 3 places have buglary before due to the metal gate. you know lah, government sector where got do things so fast wan?? all super duper snake leh. wait and wait. hope reli 1 day, its their turn to worry and scare for their flat.

AIG & NTUC Income as another form of fire insurance which covers theft too, but up to $50K I think. However, if burglary lose about $22K of stuffs....hmm....we have a very rich neighbour....Ha Ha. Anyway, I just called Jovi too. However, she "acts" blur when I ask her if she is providing the welding service. Anyway, she explained that the welding by her is just to "reinforce" the existing bottom stud to the hinge. Perhaps Darcbleu can take some pictures of how that is being done than we can compare whether it is the same process or theory as that Mr Kor. Believe it or not, Jovi said the few robbers actually saw away the gates to break into the house. For me, I find it hard to believe.
