Thickness, type of material, whether it is galvanized, type of paint, the design, the workmanship, and not to forget the price

everything can be cut quite easily... given the right size of tools, which is why I didn't care so much about the thickness

Go for solid and not hollow, hard to break.

Yes, agree. My house alone for solid grill installation cost nearly 10k.

grille is for security so people cannot climb in better get decent ones for critical areas

wall grille?  :confused:

Just wanted to share experience with City Gate Grill..

Initially things are good but once after installed, the touch up and follow up work sux... Things like chip off paint, cleaning after drilling and touch up at joints and silicon all are not done professionally..

Regret clearing up their payment...

Tips: Ensure contractor 100% complete the job before releasing 100%. All promises are xxxx

Ya, apparently they offer a lot of products, so most of the time they leave it to sales person to deal initially, installation different batch, after that touch up works is depending on the Sales person d....no support from the installation team liao...

Hi,

For window grille (2 panels) , anyone knows the reason only one door is provided for one panel and the other panel locked permanently? This is standard practice according to contractor.

seems like some cheapo type grille? 

and another mistake is to install outside. better do inside house 

can you PM me the company name & contact please.

got quote from Three Kim which got many recommendations. asked for a wrought iron grill for main door which includes some flowery type of design...they quote at >RM40/sq.ft... dont think the design is super special or what... or maybe your design super duper simple?

It depends. You have to understand, no grill can stop burglars completely, it is not intended as a solution. Only a deterrent. Thieves might be delayed when facing a house with grills, so they choose one without.
So when you install, just pick where it would be harder for them to pry or cut open. Usually for main doors, people install outside for visibility and as deterrent. If installed inside nobody can see right.

Happen to me last month. All they need is time and we are not home from 8 to 6..

Thought condo with access card would be ok but turns out it's not.. that guy even have a cutter so its definitely renovation contractors..

added alarm and xiaomi home cctv immediately after that day..

add: even the guy who fix the grille said no matter how if they wanna break in they can still find a way ..

probably not..

the key to that handle it's not  St Guchi ..

the name on the key it's axline ..

Is 3Kim good ? I am looking for grille installation too.

I find 3kim really expensive nowadays.

I used them before some years back and they were fine but recently I had a pretty big job which cost in the region of +/- 10k and instead of just handing it over to 3kim I decided to call a few and compare.

3kim was easily the most expensive and the difference was closer to RM2k more expensive than the rest.
