Smoothen your door closing without fuss.
So we have been wanting to do this for some time and finally did it! Trying our best to make it a habit to post our work onto facebook when possible but on most days we are rushing around frantically trying to reach the next appointment on time that we forgot to take some pictures.
Anyway do view our facebook page if it does help you to know what we do on a daily basis (which really is just repairing doors…)
We will be closed on the following dates as all our technicians will be taking their Covid 19 Vaccination on the following date and would need time to recover. We apologise for any inconvenience caused as we do our best to keep our staff and our clients safe. Post-Vaccination, we would still keep our Covid 19 preventive measure running.

Where a door frame is concern, the skirting is often forgotten about. The skirting of a door frame is mainly there for cosmetic reason and is more often than not found in condos and landed properties door frame.
The main reason for skirtings that require replacement is usually either wear and tear or water damaged, especially so for door frames that are located near the toilet.
As seen in the photo, the skirting of the door was damaged by water over time. The frame was still fine as such a replacement just the skirting is required.
The example show is a skirting that is painted white with the outer most skirting painting already done and the inner skirting only with the base layer pending the paint work to be done. There are some skirting that is covered with laminate instead of paint.
The replacement of the skirting involves the removal of the old one, cutting to size and installation of the new skirting and in cases where the door height is taller, we would need to adjoin a small piece of skirting on the bottom to make up the full length.
The work involve in the replacement or repair of a skirting is usually less than that of a full replacement or repair of the door frame. The amount of time needed for the replacement would usually range between half a day to one day depending on the number of skirtings to be replaced.
In some the frame might need to be replaced too as the water has caused the door frame to rot. We could only advise accordingly to the situation upon a on site check.

Termite attack on door frame can be a horror story for many but unfortunately it is something that can happen frequently. There are 2 routes of action to take in such a case.
At Singapore Door Repair, we are pretty much fine with both options and the decision is based usually on the pest control company recommandation and the owner urgency.
For example a recent case has door frame that is badly damaged by termites and the home has children below the age of 12 running around. As such the owner was worried for the safety of the kid and wants the door frame replaced first. The pest control company also required a image of the termite and as such we had to remove the frame for the owner to take a video of the termite for the pest control. After which a new frame is put up and the pest control company comes in to ensure that the termite are fully killed off after the work is done. For such cases, as we cannot transport the door frame back to our factory (as we do cannot risk the termites spreading in our van/factory and thus affecting other customer) we would require the owner help in the disposal of the old door frame on the spot.
There are also cases where the termites are taken care off first before a new frame is done.
Below are some images of frames that have been damaged by termites:

Glass door works just like any other doors whereby it has to be secured by a mechanism to a wall. For a sliding glass door, it is usually by clamp which are attached to a roller while for swing glass door the mechanism that is commonly used are called glass door hinges.
As with any mechanical parts, such glass door hinges are prone to wear and tear. The issue is a malfunctioned glass door hinge can bring with it certain amount of risk.
As shown in the image, there are springs within a glass door hinges which can rebound and thus hit the glass causing it to shatter.
Beside that such glass door hinges are commonly used for shower door and also the main door of a commercial unit where traffic is high. As such a damaged hinge can be dangerous.
We do replacement of damaged hinges for both commercial and residential unit as well as alignment of glass door (which happens when the hinges are loose causing the glass to sag down).
For such replacement, the main consideration is the hole that has been pre cut in the door. As shown in the image below, you will notice 2 hole right at the edge of the glass door .
As the hole in the glass door cannot be altered, a hinge with correct measurement is needed to ensure that the glass is held securely to prevent any mishap from happening.
For most replacement, the work can be done within an hour to two, mainly depending on the alignment which has to be redone as both hinges are removed from the door.
A minimum of 2 technician is required to do the work for safety reason as we are dealing with glass which has a risk of shattering.
Upon replacement, the warranty period for the labour is 3 months. However, it is highly unlikely that we would be called back for the next couple of years for another glass door hinge replacement work as such hinges would not malfunction that frequently.
For more information on glass door hinges repair or replacement do give us a call at 6280 4615. Beside glass door hinges, we specialise in various door repair services and are available islandwide in Singapore.
The glass door and lock got broken by my 5 year old son. I thought I will spend hundred of bucks for a repair but they charged me fairly.
Sandra ChangI called while at work and the crew came out the same day to take a look. They fixed my old garage door opener and the same day got diagnosis and new unit to replace my old broken one. They cleaned up after themselves and it was a great all around experience.
Wilson WongI wish all service companies were as responsive as Singapore Door Repair. I will recommend his company to EVERYONE that asks: prices are fair, he is honest, service is excellent, and he came out the same day to fix our problem. When we need our doors replaced when they can't be repaired, I am calling Singapore Door Repair!
