## The Ordering Process – Step by Step
Let me walk you through exactly what happened, so you know what to expect.
### Step 1: WhatsApp Message – 9898 9268
I sent a WhatsApp message to **9898 9268**.
They asked for:
- Door size
- HDB location
- Our requirements
Saves time.
### The Technician Came to Us
We scheduled a **free on-site measurement** .
On the day of the visit:
- The guy showed up on time
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- We chose our design – grey frame with acrylic panel
- He double checked all dimensions like a true professional
One thing to know: A 50% deposit or minimum $100 is required during the visit. No cheques – we used PayNow.
Also, make sure the **decision maker** is home. Learn from my mistake!
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
After we approved everything and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take **14 to 21 working days**. We waited 18 days – right in the middle of their estimate.
Not gonna lie – the wait tested my patience. But when they finally messaged us, it was worth every day.
### Finally – Door Goes Up
The night before, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a time slot. Ours was 10am-12pm.
The installer arrived at 10:30 AM. Friendly, uniformed, and fully prepared..
He:
- Hauled away the old door (it was disgusting at the bottom)
- Installed the new slide and swing door
- Made sure there was no mess
Before packing up, he asked us to try opening and closing it to make sure we were completely satisfied. Great after-sales service.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.
