## {Why We Needed a New Bathroom Door
Let me paint you a picture of our old HDB toilet door.
Every time someone opened the door, it hit the toilet bowl.
After far too many bruised hips, we knew we needed a proper space saving door.
That's when I started searching online for terms like:
- "compact bathroom door HDB"
- "HDB toilet door replacement"
- "bifold door alternatives"
And that's when everything changed.

## What to Expect When You Order
Let me walk you through exactly how it worked, so you know what to expect.
### How We Got Started
The first thing I did was message their WhatsApp number.
They asked for:
- Doorway measurements
- Postal code
- Our requirements
Makes the process smoother.
### Step 2: Home Visit
We scheduled a **free on-site measurement** .
What happened during the visit:
- The technician arrived within the promised window
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- We chose our design – white powder coated finish
- He measured everything twice like a true professional
One thing to know: A deposit is required during the visit. No cheques – we used PayNow.
Don't send a family member who can't approve things. Ask me how I know.
### Step 3: The 14-21 Day Wait
Once we signed off, we were told installation would take **about 3-4 weeks**. We waited 18 days – right in the middle of their estimate.
Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. But when they finally messaged us, it was completely worth the wait.
### What Happened on Installation Day
The evening before installation, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a 1-2 hour arrival window. They gave us a morning slot.
The installer arrived at 10:30 AM. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
The whole job was done in 90 minutes.
- Hauled away the old door (it was disgusting at the bottom)
- Put in our brand new space saving door
- Cleaned up everything before leaving
Before he left, he asked us to try opening and closing it to make sure we were completely satisfied. Great after-sales service.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.

### The Advantages

|-----------------|-------------------------------|

### Honest Criticisms
Honestly, there's very little to dislike, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Wait time** – 3 weeks was tough but expected. Order early if you're in a rush
- **$40 charge** – Fair, but good to know. Just be aware before booking.
- **No walk-ins** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. So message before you go.
That's literally it.
