Door Installation & Repair in Serangoon Garden

Houses move and hinges wear: the classic faults are a sagging hinge, a swollen door in humid seasons, or a latch misaligned with its strike plate. All are quick fixes for a carpenter. A door that suddenly sticks along with wall cracks can signal settlement worth a builder's look.

In many countries, yes in specific spots — typically between an attached garage and the house, and in multi-storey or rental configurations. Fire doors must be fitted with the right frame, seals, closers and gaps to actually work, so use an installer who knows the local requirement rather than treating it as just another door.

Yes, if the frame is sound, square and the right size — that's a slab replacement and it's the cheapest path. If the frame is rotten, racked, or you want better security and sealing, replacing the whole door-set costs more but fixes the real problem.

Hanging an interior door in an existing frame is a half-day carpentry job at the low end. Exterior doors cost several times more: the slab or door-set is pricier, and fitting involves weather sealing, security hardware and often frame work. Sliding, French and bifold sets are priced per opening and sit at the top.

A slab is just the door leaf — cheapest, but the installer must cut hinges and the lock to match your existing frame. A prehung/door-set arrives already hinged in its frame — dearer, but the fit and seal are better, and it's the sensible choice when the old frame is worn or out of square.

If your flat opens onto a fire-escape route (most corridor-facing units), yes — the main door must be an approved fire-rated set. Suppliers know the requirement; make sure any digital lock installation preserves the door's certification.
