Hi all Sebab tak cukup budget, I am thinking if it is possible at all to convert :- 1) existing door grill (sliding type) to those push out type? Like take away the sliding frame, instal new frame, remove the sliding gadget on the panel and pasang the connection to hook the panel to the frame? Something like that i think? So it become a push out type grill door. 2) pasang like 1''x2' glass to existing plush door. Maybe potong the measurement on the door and fix with glass. Possible or not? Terima kasih. |

Mostly, everything is possible. It just boils down to cost.
It may cost more to modify something to suit another purpose. There will me more work to cut the grille (sliding) to suit the size of the swing grill door. Both dimensions are different. As for cutting the existing plywood flush door to insert a glass, it will involve the removal of the plywood which will be damaged. Basically, all will be cheaper if you get then new, to your specifications. Looks better as well. |

If the damage is less than 6" from the floor, then can repair using cement sand. This will also depend on your expectation.Last noob question, door frame, if bottom kena air and damaged, also have to replace whole frame or still got easy way to save some $$$$? |

This practice is not use in construction nowadays. +1 Thanks bro! You are amazingly helpful! The outcome is OK if done nicely. Once painted, will not be noticeable. PMed you the method |

This happen to my window frame and now I have to thinking of way to get it fix. Bro, my current frame is wooden. Was told 2 way to do 1) replace window including frame, 2) just replace the window if wooden frame still good condition, then keep the frame. Then there a a lot of different types aluminium, different quality. Some kena air will turn black, different color etc. etc. All different price Ofcause the best option is remove and get a new once but it will involved all hacking / re-paint work... But why you change your frame and fix to another location? What problem is it giving you? (no harm learning something new right? |
