Thanks Exman. Will google it.

Hi AxelC

Mine was gateman which is quite cool. It's read the index finger print beside opening your main door with the pin no.

It does not have the level like the Samsung or yale brand. With lever less, the distance between the main door and gate is no longer a problem if is 75mm.

What did u have? F10 or SB740?

Cool gadget! Anyone installed? I wonder what can one do if the width between the door and main gate is less than 75mm.

I got myself a Yale gateman F3109. Used to have a group buy but it is closed.

Yale is having promo of $1188/- with a fire safe.

Gateman model F10.

Just measured that the gateman F10 is about 38mm thickness and any distance of 40mm to 75mm posed no problem.

You could see the gateman demo on YouTube.

can only use those lever less if the existing main door have a door knob or something to push open the door.

So have to depend on AxelC whether he wants his new main door have normal door lever ( or knob) or use digital lock like samsung lever.

AxelC, i got myself a new door so i didn't pay extra for door knob or normal door lever, just use the one on the digital lock.

Wow! Maybe I kiasi... Keke.

if you look at police reports, i think most housebreaking happens through windows, not door. but if you have children at home, then better to have gate lah.

The deal has been inked. Final reno costing at 76k (excluding electrical works). It's going to be a massive overhaul. Id drawings will come in next week and reno the following week. Just hoping that everything will run smoothly. Exman has been very helpful in sharing his experiences :-) Thanks bro.

It suddenly dawned on me... what happened to the fruits and barang barang that were used for praying during opening ceremony. Any idea?

Hi AxelC, welcome and wish you smooth reno.

Mine is the samsung sh5230 with level.

From what I heard, security is usually ok for people living in EM.

Thanks AxcelC for being receptive and congrats that your Reno journey has about to begin.

You can clear the fruits and barang barang when you are at site before the demolition work.

does anyone stack/place washing machine and dryer in the toilet on ground floor? Is there any concern about the hot air, I.e. no proper ventilation which may lead to problems?

[AxelC 3]

I mean ground floor toilet

Axel,

Mine is a gen2 EM. I m getting a Brandt front load washer n Brandt steam dryer stacking on top on each other. They will be concealed in the kitchen area cabinet near to my balcony.

For dryer, getting the condenser type will eliminate the humidity factor

Day 1 - Gone are the Old

Hacking work done to the kitchen floor tiles, ground floor toilet and living room. Marble has to go cos the difference in salvaging the marble and laying new tiles is $200. Decided to let it go.
