Those got pmd one, better put fire extinguisher at home

Also buy fire insurance. Heard few residential units caught fire due to charging n many PMD. Sekali, insurance co exclude PMD coverage. Lol.

[Sotong1977]

Problem is the fire safety regulations require some main doors to be fire-rated... 1hr? Think is for those units within certain distance from lifts/stairwell etc main idea is they want to keep the fire contained within the unit instead of spreading to the rest of the building.

 

By then the whole place would have burnt down... Including the people inside.

A socialist state solution for a democratic society.

Better still, throw away that PMD.

i don't have PMD but i still have a fire extinguisher at home and in my car. (see got chance to become famous when other ppl car on fire).

you are correct that depending on design of the escape route, not all main entrsnce doors have to be fire rated. however, escape door rightfully should swing out and not inward. I don't know why most residential apartments do not have this requirement. funny thing is, this HDB csn even seal off the door to put a fish tank. We are very flexible. 

the rich fella got two doors mah ... and the "working" door is just beside the fish tank.

 

and since its a fish tank, can act as fire deterrent also ! 2-in-1 use !!

[Vratenza]

Fish tank got alot of electrical stuff underneath in the cabinet... Cannister pump filter, pump, chiller, tank light connections.... all potential a source of flash point.

 

Think you get a large tank of boiled fish soup instead...

yeah it was reported he owns 2 adjoining units. but the code do require a certain running distance and other considerations. already having a single escape door is minimum liao.

For all that was discussed, I can't imagine myself using house key to open the door, just as I crank a car without a keyless go function.

By design guide, yes, escape door should swing out to facilitate evacuation, BUT there are other considerations as well in the Fire Code. One of it is about not creating obstruction during evacuation process.

 

In a typical residential project setup, the corridor is typically around 1.2m - 1.6m wide. Now imagine during a fire emergency, all doors swing outward, the effective corridor wide would be narrowed to just 0.3m - 0.7m, which shall affect mass evacuation for sure.

 

Logically, in a typical unit / household, unlikely to have >10 people rushing out of a door at the same time, while the chances of having more than 10, 20 people rushing through the corridor is much higher, so what is to be prioritize become crystal clear.

 

Given the same considerations, door swinging outward is more applicable for commercial building, since there are potentially tens to even hundreds personnel trying to rush out of a room / compartment (say shops, office, theater / hall, etc.), and the least to say is that corridor width is also much wider (>2m) in such places.

[Vratenza]

Yes, the word "liberation" comes to mind:

 

- gone are days of struggling with bags of groceries to dig out the car remote (keyless entry and automated rear hatch),

 

- open door and press the start stop button without cranking with car key,

 

- reaching home and just fingerprint open the door without having to be constantly reminding ownself to bring the keys out when going out,

 

- go around the neighbourhood just bringing the hp and wallet, but these days with paywave, even the wallet is becoming redundant,

 

- go for runs just bringing my Bluetooth earpiece and waterproof S9+, can still use the Samsung pay to pay for ice cold pocari sweat at cheers.

 

- even my letter box lock changed to 3 digit numeral lock. No point bringing a key daily for a once a week chore of open g the letterbox. 

 

- set fingerprint access for my parents so that they can drop by anytime or help with some errands if I am overseas.

I got mine from taobao at slight cheaper price, but the savings only worth it if you are already familiar with taobao purchasing and minimizing the shipping charges.

 

Before anyone comes to dump crap about it being easily broken into.......think about how complicated is the original letter box lock that it could not be easily picked by a determined thief and how important is your mail......

for me, those in the mailbox are just bills to be paid and junk mail mainly

 

Important mails will come in registered form anyway.

Ironically I am driving a car with keyless function but still using physical keys for my house door.

Some in recent memories are original diploma scrolls from the university, mercedes car recall notification from C&C, some online purchase of significant value that can fit in envelope that can fit in the letter box but the sender sent it out as registered mail to ensure receipt.

 

The bills in normal mail...even if lost, just call the bank to waive the late payment fees the following month.
