andrew77 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2007 Anyone uses the hydraulic hinges. Is it durable? I was in my col's house and seems like the hydraulic is not so smooth, is it poor workmanship or is it the hydraulic itself?Any alternative to solve this? Thanks.

porkypig 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2008 Due to wear and tear, most probably the hydraulic plunger has to be changed. Safest way is to remove it and bring to hardware shop to source for similar one. Hardware shops like homefix, self-fix or you can try hardware shops along Geylang road (T*i Seng H*rdware) or yellowpages.com.sg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Else the cabinet will hv lotsa holes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

porkypig 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2008 Ya.. I think the quality is indeed compromised. Maybe you want to check with your ID whether he can replace for FOC?? I supposed there is a after reno warranty. But probably he would say it is not his fault as warranty does not include wear and tear... Usually ID gives normal hinges and etc to maximise their profit margin. Thats where we suffer from.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
