yokine9a 1 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Yes yes yes... TPY kids Oh really, blk 25 is so young, only 25+ yrs? Hehehe, wrong guess I am staying at lor 1 blk 169... Yes, they only sell you the lockset... No, I did not get any locksmith. My contractor, Ho Bee actually agreed to fix the lockset for me FOC. However, my bf didn't want to wait for him to come the next day and spent 2 hrs just to fix the locksets for my main door and metal door The new lockset comes with how-to diagram, not that difficult to fix up if you want to DIY... I suggest you take down your lockset and bring it with you to the shop. Just to make sure you get the right one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

donut88 1 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 POINT NOTED DONUT !!! Btw wats the brand of the lockset ? Is it POSSE? One of the standard HDB one is POSSE. the brand sold to me is MOBILE. I think its just a very normal brand. nothing special abt it. if u want good ones, buy YALE brand. But i saw YALE is selling for $100+ from HOME FIX shop. For me, normal brand can already. at end of day, all handles or surfaces of any brands will tarnish over time due to wear/tear, exposure to sunlights etc. then its time to change liao. For quality wise, YALE is not much better. My parents' home door is using YALE. Over time of using it, it deteoriates as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
