## {What is a Slide and Swing Door
Let me explain what makes this compact bathroom door so special.
In simple terms: the door **glides sideways** like a sliding door, then **opens like a regular door**. Thanks to this no bottom track mechanism, it needs **way less space** to open.
The advantages that sold us:
- **Trackless floor** – Finally, a toilet door without bottom track!
- **Space saving magic** – I can actually open the door without hitting the washing machine
- **Waterproof & humidity resistant** – No warping like old wooden doors
- **Modern aesthetic** – We chose the white powder coated finish

## The Ordering Process – Step by Step
Let me walk click here you through exactly how it worked, so you know what to expect.
### Step 1: First Contact – 9898 9268
I sent a WhatsApp message to **9898 9268**.
They asked for:
- Doorway measurements
- HDB location
- Our requirements
**Pro tip:** Have your doorway size on hand before you message.
### Step 2: Home Visit
We scheduled a **complimentary home visit** .
On the day of the visit:
- The technician arrived within the promised window
- He brought finish options and brochures
- We picked our preferred style – grey frame with acrylic panel
- He double checked all dimensions like a true professional
**Important note:** A 50% deposit or minimum $100 is required during the visit. We paid via PayNow – super easy.
Also, make sure the **person who calls the shots** is home. Learn from my mistake!
### Step 3: The 14-21 Day Wait
After we confirmed the design and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take **about 3-4 weeks**. Ours took exactly 18 days.
Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. But when installation day finally arrived, it was completely worth the wait.
### What Happened on Installation Day
The night before, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a 1-2 hour arrival window. Ours was 10am-12pm.
The installer arrived at the promised time. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
The whole installation took about 1.5 hours.
- 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 packing up, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were 100% happy. He even explained the cleaning process.
We paid the remaining balance on the spot via PayNow.

## Our Verdict After 30 Days
It's been over a month now, and here is my honest take: **We absolutely love it.**
### The Advantages
| Feature | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Saving** | Bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for compact Singapore toilets. |
| **No Bottom Track** | I just mop right under the door. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. |
| **Smooth Operation** | Glides like butter. Quiet and effortless. |
| **Humidity Proof** | Zero swelling, warping, or rot. Perfect for HDB bathrooms. |
| **Aesthetics** | Looks way more expensive than $399. Modern and premium. |
### The Not-So-Good (Very Little)
Honestly, there's very little to dislike, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Wait time** – 18 days felt long, but they warned us. Order early if you're in a rush
- **$40 charge** – Fair, but good to know. Reasonable – their time isn't free
- **Appointment only** – You can't just show up at their showroom. So message before you go.
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

## Was It Worth $399?
We took advantage of their current promotion:
**Single door package – $399 all-in**
The price included:

No GST surprise. No "transportation fee". No "weekend surcharge".
The price was the price. In Singapore renovation terms, that's practically a unicorn.
If you need a pair, the promotion is **$780 for two sets** – even better value.
Just a reminder: The promotion is valid until **31 May 2026**, so don't wait too long.
