Oooh.. How much you got that for? Thinking of getting a digital lock too.. Is that a keypad only lock? No thumbprint recognition?

From the various little posts u have updated, can see that you are also very polite to your ID. Someone who will simply laugh it off first when mistakes were made and slowly discussed with your ID to solve the issues. Hence, your ID reciprocate your kindness It's always a two-way thingy. You deserved it

Thanks friends78 (I know we're the same age too! ), I certainly hope so! I even wrote him a long email to express our apologies and gratitude when we once called him and he sounded a little irritated. Turned out that we simply caught him at a bad time but I think he was touched that I made the effort to apologise. When he said he wanted to replace the BLING in his car, I sent him the cheapest ebay links, and even got him a laser pointer-led torch-pen because he remarked once how difficult it was to use the measuring tape to point at certain parts of the house!

I do think it's the smallest things that touch people, and I really appreciate it when I have a good working relationship with people. Everyone seems to need gestures of friendship, gratitude, love - and I love to give them. (This could be The Friend profile about me!!).

Hi eggroe,

This is the Samsung Ezon Shs-5110, comes with 4 touch keys. No thumbprint recognition because it's something I don't want - I get stopped everytime at Singapore Customs because my thumbprint thingy doesn't work - have to always go to the counter and manually get in! Faulty thumbprint omgah! Last thing I want is to get stuck outside my door, trying both thumbs and wiping and re-trying and cursing my too-subtle thumbprints!

I paid S$260 for it, with expedited shipping.

well said! while ID themselves should minimize mistakes, no ID likes working with a customer that grumbles and scolds him on every mistake made~ politely discussing and solving problems together is the way to go. good for you Ely~

Thanks Marshy! I think it's simple really - treat others like how you would like to be treated yourself

On the other hand, I cannot tolerate incompetence and can become very impatient, so I'm just glad I have an ID I trust so completely. Was soooo touched when he brought his whole family down to the dog adoption drive!! He didn't end up adopting any but it was still a really sweet gesture.

I've read all sorts of horror stories on RT so this is a HUGE relief for me. I cannot imagine what some go through - like IDs disappearing on them after payment, the back-and-forth arguments on RT itself, the irrevocable blunders that some IDs make that require the hiring of ANOTHER ID to rectify - scary!

Tell him Mr. Yong referred you - he knows my husband, not me. I honestly don't know him personally but I was shocked at how much cheaper he was compared to May Dream's, which was the main reason I wrote about him. I think he's reliable and easy going and very, very patient. No job too troublesome, or small, and he simply make the necessary changes without being disgruntled, even when we/ID make mistakes, causing him to move ALL the switches to another wall. His prices are extremely reasonable. Hope it works out for you!

It's not just mine that are that expensive. I think most are around the same pricing. I might not be able to get him as mine already need to start electrical by thurs.

Your digital lock is really cheap!!! I get other model, with fingerprint which is more expensive. Maybe I buy locally which incl warranty and installation. Less headache for me.
