Replacement Of Main Door And Frame

[newbie88 0]

Hi Everyone,

I need some help for my main door. I have the following problems with it.

1) The nails (at the hinges) holding the main door to the frame has gone rusty. A few nuts were stuck in

there when I tried to tighten them.

2) The cemented wall near the frame is cracking. I am not sure of the reason and whether it can still hold

the main frame.

3) The door is also slightly slanted.

What can be done? Are there any good contractors that anyone knows of and can recommend?

I think don't need to replace the door, just tighten the hinges etc. Most HDB flats now req fire-rated doors. Very the exp to replace. Since ur wall cracked, must be a fire rated door, right? Heavy what.

My con 'altered' my door instead of replacing it. Now works as gd as new.

PM me if u want my contractor's contact. Don't think he will chop u like carrot...
