Your place dun have pamphlets on these items? Becoz of competition especially hdbs they are littered with these advertisements.

 

A lot of the wrought iron gate have hook on hinges. Just get 2 fit men and they can lift the gate out of the hinges. Whatever super padlock you use will be pointless. So pay attention on what hinges will be used for the gate.

No one will bother to check. I see many ppl change the shelter door to plastic/wooden ones. Regulation also says cannot change.

some times yes, and sometimes see them at the pasar malam also ... but dunno trustworthy or not ... so want to get some feedback or advise.

 

and thanks for the heads-up for the gate hinge thing .. maybe can get them to weld the hinge top ?

Can. Depending on the material used for the joints of the hinges. Actually a lot of them use mild steel for the joints, they are considered soft and not to mention cheap. Robbers can still easily break it by drilling thru the welds and lift up the entire gate. You say cheap perhaps that's the trade off.

 

Anyway gates are easy to break. The weak points are the hinges. You can request to use stainless steel joints.

I suggest you get a fire-rated door for your main door, for safety purpose as well.

contrary to popular thinking..fire door is used to reduce the spread of fire and smoke from your own unit to other units in the event of fire..it simply means you install to prevent damage to other properties

means the door is able to withstand a fire for certain amount of minutes mah. Tougher door in that sense.

say if someone throw a molotov cocktail on your door from outside. ur door can still tahan until a freaking fire engine come
