benetay 14 Report post Posted December 31, 2014 Window one quite difficult to find. I would call contractor because of safety issue with HDB.For gate, either go back HDB or find a gate contractor. Nowadays the 'switch' is of poor quality.. it gets misalign easily and if force, will break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benetay 14 Report post Posted December 31, 2014 Window grille support hmm.. it should be an easy fix, maybe just don't want to do. Is it affecting the window grille in anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benetay 14 Report post Posted December 31, 2014 Your regular contractor not willing to help you? i often have a regular contractor for all sorts of work that i cannot do myself. I will do everything in my means to DIY before i pick up the phone because they'll start charging for a simple thing which i learn over time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
