hi, where is your area at?

Spray paint with dark color? How about lacquer?

My door are stained, not paint. Stain will still see the wood grain. The first color layer is spray but final coating if not mistaken the lacquer with normal brush. I don't see uneven brush line.

And what hinge do they provide? normal local? China? or bearing hinge? All made closing & opening feel difference.

Below some of the photo of my house door.

Wow nice doors u have there... mind to share the price ???

Which door you referring?

room door is how much included installation and lock? 1st and 3th diff color same price?

1 and 3 is the same door, difference staining, some call it lacquer painting.

That is standard door, with difference grade wood only. Forgot what grade, could be Nyatok or maybe similar range. Is about RM 350+- for door only.

Lock is Ikaros 4461, Think is about RM 90 +- http://www.intrends.com.my/products/main.php?g2_itemId=48

Installation is +-100 (per door) if i recall correctly.

Staining the door is as expensive as the door it self. If not mistaken is about RM 300+- per door for single leaf.

Hinge and other accessories add up to about RM 50+- per single leaf door.

RM 350 + RM 90 + RM 100 + RM 300 + RM 50 = RM 890 pricey liao

You have not add my nyatok door frame leh. About RM 350. So is about 1.1k per door. I was shock too when i sum it up. Things add up.

Waaaa like security door liao.
You are really a wood enthusiast

No lah, Why put all steel door inside the house? feel very "cold". Wood door is really nice.

My left neighbor is renovating now, I saw she have some old wood door, is so dam nice, the grain is superb, and color are very even. We don't get this kind of wood now.

@Weikee wooden door looks damn nice. Im on tight budget. This is the door I order. Rm400 include installation. Btw, you all use security door as back door?

Thank you.

The door you use, is it engineer door? It have its advantage, it won't shrink or expand much compare to Wooden door.

I don't use security door, I use normal grill door for the rear. Now the grill do much nicer door compare to the old days. The "Door in Door" I have also not bad.

Solid timber doors can be as good as security doors dude. Tried carrying one nyatoh solid timber door, it's damn heavy and very difficult to lift off the ground by one person.

But of course the heavier the door, the more you need good hinges to support the weight. Sturdy solid locks (deadbolt / half-deadbolt / mortise) all play an integral part in ensuring that no one gets through your door.

It's almost like pretending your home is a castle, accept the door ain't a drawbridge and there is no moat in front. Hahahahaha....

Just a single grill door as your back door?

Not enough?

Ha. I thought you will get a nice wooden door put at the back also. mind to share the price and picture? Got quoted a wooden back door with one side aluminium solid rm720 with installation. anyone is using it?

I m using nyatoh solid timber door for the front door. It is really solid but not that heavy lah. recently take down for some minor repair and a lacquer paint after more than 10yrs. 1 person still can carry.

I need to put 4pcs high quality big hinges. And don't forget a solid door frame too.

It felt heavy to me... The guys at the shop allowed me to try carrying 2 types of solid timber doors.

One wasn't very heavy and the other was hard to lift. If I remember correctly one door cost RM300+ and the other was about RM600. Maybe I got the material wrong?

At that time, cost rm300+ if not mistaken. When you bang the nyatoh door, it create loud sound and the force is strong.

And after that longtime, it didn't expand much even been splash with water. If normal wood, you cannot close it anymore.

mind to share the price for 2nd door?

Price already in 1st page.

weikee... i will be using the same door design as yours (5 horizontal box type) for my place.

Cool, to me is simple and easy to clean

But my main door is pain in the azz to clean.

Kelvin, my room door is the normal what ppl called "Sam kap ban"..only cost me rm68. Ho ho

What you can do is use an old toothbrush together with a lightly damp cloth. Makes cleaning so much easier.
It's what i do to reach those hard to reach spaces in the grill.

Usually come from developer right?

Added on January 4, 2012, 2:15 pmThanks for the advice. Never thought of the toothbrush. Grill is easy for me, cause mine are very square.

Can still get nowadays, must ask for grade A timber door. But not all places carry them.

I been searching for wooden door in many place, even Grade A don't have such old grain. These day, the wooden door are made of young wood. Grain are not "deep". Grade A door is define as near matching color between wood block and slightly more grain. Grade B have must higher color variation in each wood block and have lighter grain.

Old wooden door really have good grain because it use natural old wood, and the wood are also aged before use.

Weikee, yup. But mine was spoilt..redo this cost me 68. I think other places charge 100. Since my frame also remain, no point changing beautiful door..won't look beautiful oso...

No worries dude.

Adele,

Mind to PM me the contact of your people?
I'm considering to change mine. Thanks.

You got any picture of door with old grain? Curious to see how it looks like.

What do you think of the grain in this door:

Nice. My neighbor door have much better grain.

No photo, I don't like to take other house owner photos.

Any idea what kind of wood is in your neighbour's old doors?

She told me before, was not expensive during the 80s, and they change all because developer giving them the hollow door. You won't get that kind of wood now. Cause those door are made of natural aged wood. New door are usually 5 to 10 years old trees, and not age properly.

Added on January 5, 2012, 10:40 pmBTW, my current door have nicer grain that the picture you show. Also have to do with the painter who lacquer my door.

Can anyone can share phone no of door installer, need it deperately as my installer already on CNY holioday

Try Kotador, their contact is +603-79808623 and ask for Ah Chee.

thank you adrianjc

This is my room door:

I wish I have a door.....

Doors not installed yet dude?

all after CNY

Nvrmind bro. Shouldn't take long to complete. Just make sure they do the drilling and other installation for your locks etc outside. Saw dust is hard to clean and can find its way all over the place.

thanks for the tip..

No problem.

Hi sifus, any idea what is the best to be used to pain an already treated wood door? ? ? =)

Should I use varnish, polyurethane, door stain, etc.? Which is the correct type to use?

my room doors are only 31 inches wide. apparently the smaller size is an odd size and thus if the door is custom made, it is more expensive. my contractor quoted 480 without paint but include installation - apparently nyatoh door. Cutting a 34 inch door I think looks very ugly and thus i went ahead with the contractor. Other door shops quoted me about 340-380 per door for a standard 34 inch door

I wonder how much does it cost to get a contractor to paint the whole wood door? any idea? =)

The door shops charge about RM150 per door for varnishing. They have some natural wood colour selection. Finishing is much better than doing wood staining manually and finished item looks much better.

\Thanks. do u hv their contact number?

You can get it from their website below.

Kotador

Thanks...=)

Any forumers know of shops selling wood door in Sg Buloh or Kepong area?

Mind to recommend?

TQVM!

im looking to replace my condo room door as well..anyone got contact ?

coz chnaged the room to timber flooring, and now the door cant close liao..

nice looking door...especially the 2nd ones

Hi guys, can you recommend good solid nyatoh timber door manufacturer with reasonable pricing? Is kotador reasonable? Do they also do staining? Maybe bro weikee can share your door supplier, tq

Kotador are reliable and I'm happy with the work that they did for my house. They also provide door staining which is done straight at the factory and heck lot better finish than getting it done on site.

A real guru will do staining on site much better. I have experience from factory, and on site. On site is much better, especially the door frame need to be stain together.

I disagree... I've seen completely stained on site and factory finished but the door installers touch up on site.

Work is completed a whole lot faster and the finished product, you can't even tell where the touch up work was. The finish is a great deal finer and the sheen on the door looks more impressive.

Kotador provided me with 1 day installation and initial touch up; 1 day touch up work upon completion of project to touch up small scratches etc that may have happened prior to renovation completion.

difference people will have difference preference and experience. Mine is onsite is much better. It take three days to complete my 5 doors but I like the outcome vs my parent house .

What a nice door.. Wood door is really an excellent..!

Thats true... also different installers also deliver different type of work.

did a survey recently, a plain nyatoh door will cost you $650. so weikee's doors are not nyatoh for sure, may be a merpauh solid wood.

Price for door only our plus install? My is nyotoh. including everything is about 1k plus per door.

door only, and if A class nyatoh or ask for a thicker horizontal box, will cost even more.

Class A is slightly expensive. Mine is all class B because I stain it dark color, and the sifu match the difference tone of wood.

The major difference of class A vs class B is wood tone, class A have more similar tone so when owner stain the door the color are more even. Lucky I have good sifu to help even out the color.

Hi Kelvin,

May i know the locations or maybe contact no?

Thanks

you got a good deal for class B, i don't think can get this price now. very difficult to get nice grain nyatoh nowadays unless pay good money. and nearly all the shop don't keep stock, so cannot choose, have to depend on your luck.

My take on residential wooden door and my cha-pa-lang painting

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry51253332

Looks better than without paint ler..

Is better with paint to prevent the doors from damp and crack.

Hi Bro, where do u get this door ? Mind to share the contact or webpage ?

Added on May 10, 2012, 2:56 pmBro,

Is custom made. Charged per square feet. Can't recall exact price, think about 55plus per square feet. Should be higher now.

I made my own design and give them.

Wow... icic... Thn, should be out of my budget liao ! lol...

y u interested is it? i got a friend.. but how many door u thinking of changing 1st?

I brought it fromSuperdoor at jln kencana, call Amy if not mistaken i always forget, 03-42806181 and say kelvin at Mahkota Cheras reco very nice lady

I have a HAFELE handle lockset for my double door, that is a piece of metal doesn’t include, it’s that call rebate kit? When the door closed, the inner part of the lock was not covered. Anyone know where can i get this thing?


Attached thumbnail(s)

Usually is custom made, some do come with it. If it state for double leaf door.

how much normally the frame price? is it possible to order for frame only? got to change 7 doors with wood frame like first picture above. Doors i will get from my company which having major renovation.

standard door frame from resak/balau: RM135 each. (size 3' x 7'; 1.5" x 5" wood)
if you want 6" width and thicker wood, you have to order. The price that I got: RM330 (3' x 7'; 2" x 6" wood)

where can i get the 3' x 7' frame? need it urgently

You want to get skirting or frame? two difference things.

Frame, any door seller will have some have ready stock for standard thickness, even some big hardware shop will have. Is just basic wood, not the nice and hard wood. For nicer do to door seller.

If you want non standard, have to pre order. Like only one side is sunken instead of two side sunken.

initial plan, to use tile for skirting. but when re-imagine, doesnt look nice. maybe need to reconsider the skirting, to be the same with door frame.

Sorry, i cannot imagine how the door skirting using tiles look like. There is another name for the door skirting, just can't get it out of my brain now. The door skirting is surronding the entire door frame for inside and outside.

Door architraves

Skirting= low vertical pcs of tiles/ timber to cover the ugly connection btwn floor finishing and wall…

Thank you. That is the word.

i looking for 6 x7 feets wooden solid door for my main door and my budget is around 2k~3.5k (included all installation) , what type of wood and what type for door frame should i choose (solid wood or steel) which one is better. Quite a rush need to get the door frame to install by this weekend.

by this weekend?? if standard frame i think no problem...if not standard frame then u better choose wood frame cos supplier will be able to made it in few days but for steel frame it need around 2 weeks.....waiting my steel frame now.....2 weeks liao and tomolo will reach.....

My wood frames take about 1week plus. It depend the type of wood you choose and design.

Where can i look at the doors or skirting (architraves). So far, i only get to see it from Houz. Is there any shop that is reasonable in price?

by the way, i need sifu help me a bit here.....how to differentiate solid wood door? cos my condo s&p written my main door is solid wood door but the indon contractor there told me few cases the main door when kena water will kembang.....so izzit solid wood door like that?

Just brought a nyatok grade B solid door 6 x 7 (rm1988) and frame (rm480) both included installation and varnish . Have been told my nyatok wooden frame need 1 week. Is the price reasonable?

6' x 8' h door would look much better.

Hey Kelvin5717, you are going to install wooden doors with steel railing?? I think its good to go for steel security doors as these are also safe from threats. Give it a thought, I think it is better option.

I have a wood door those very normal type 1. But few weks later i can see wood dust coming out under the door. I think there is insect iside the door and afraid it will spread to my other furnitures. Im not sure what i should do. The shop ppl will not change the door! Just apply some medcine but apply so many times already still cant help it
