oinkoink1999 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2011 Hi all, just like to share with those forummers who are currently doing reno for your new hdb flat. Did you realized the hdb fire -rated door is very heavy and troublesome? The new door stopper than I bought even gave way and I gotta keep slotting it to prevent it from closing. I happened to know abt this door closer mechanism when I was installing my lock for my main and wooden door by this uncle and he intro it to me. the auto stop mechanism is actually built into the arm of the door closer. All you need to do is to replace the ones by hdb. I think this is so called the "hold open arm" what you need to do is to extend it beyond 90degrees and it will hold there by itself~! To close it, just give the door a light push. I really find this door closer cool and worth to install. PM me if you would like to know more Happy New Year To (兔) ALL~! oinkoink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oinkoink1999 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2011 Hi, the cost is $72 including parts and labour. Uncle Low also does 2 in 1 locks and metal gate securing services. I will share more of my post later. Cheers, oinkoink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
january 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2011 I'm planning to do that too. But my door is more complicated because the mechanism is concealed in the door. The door holder itself is about $130 and labour will be $80. Will do that after CNY, together with digital lock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edenstrauss 3 Report post Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) I think that is a door closer that has been in the market for at least 20 years already. In the past we see it in commercial offices but found in homes also more than 10 years ago. Very commonly used to prevent doors from slamming close with a loud bang. Depending on how many degrees u need to tilt the door, can be adjusted accordingly to accomodate to the angle. Can DIY if u know how to fix on your own.
