LLChing 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2012 Should any of you decide to have PD doors installed for the bathroom or whatever, do reconsider. We have both toilets installed and the plastic parts for both had cracked and a piece of plastic part at my MBR's had not only cracked but came off. It's only 3 mths . Though the door is still functional without the missing piece, it does kept us wondering when the panels will become dislodged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LLChing 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2012 So far, after service has been good and prompt. We had some hairline cracks filled; the driver to one of the spot light changed and on Monday, the PD door person will come to have the parts for both doors replaced.

What storage company did you use, and what were the charges like?How many months did you have to rent another place for while waiting for reno to complete?Hello epiphone, we did not store our barang in a storage company. We are lucky that my sister had a vacant 3 room flat which we used as storage. We packed and moved, progressively, items kept in the storeroom 1/2 month before the hacking. We used our faithful family car as the delivery van and hubby was the main mover. Hubby's frenz helped with pickup and manpower for big items like fridge, washing machine etc. Moving back is just a reverse process.1st week, we stayed at a hotel and do all laundry and ironing at my sister's place (Can't stay there cos flat is not sufficiently equipped). The next 6 weeks, we stayed in a fully equipped condo unit which was being put up for sale (hence can't have long term contract). In a way, we are really lucky that things went smoothly on the accommodation part. Otherwise we would have to rent a flat with min 6 mths lease. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LLChing 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2013 It took me 6 mths to discover little surprises. Can you believe that 1 hinge had only 1 screw? I've discovered 12 hinges with only 1 screw attached instead of 2. When I was doing my spring cleaning (climbing up and bending down) did I see that the screws are missing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first time it cracked and broke may be due to the improper use by visitors who tried to operate it as a folding door. After the 1st experience, we educated and supervised all visitors on the use but it still crack. Sigh!! Only 7 mths!! If you have ample space, go for the single door lor!
