payretep 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2009 Oh, so did you have the anti-slam mechanism in your doors? Since you buy the doors on your own, like that how your contractor charge u har? not for every door.. cos its kinda pricey to have it in every door.. hahaha.. anyway my wifey will scold me if i slam the doors.. hahaha my ID subtracted some money per feet loh.. i cnt remember the actual figure le.. i think is $80 per feet or someting like that.. using the ikea door is definitely more expensive, but i think its very well worth it~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
