The mild steel now has lower thickness to keep the price competitive.

Stainless Steel mostly comes from China. Even if they said 304, some is not really 304 but hard to distinguish. Good shops normally stick to specific supplier to maintain quality. Hard to trust other cheaper suppliers for them. This was told to me by the workshop.

I think the price for TS and the door size probably about right nowadays. Probably 5 years ago was about 1.5k, perhaps?

I asked one of the neighbours, 7 yrs ago was RM2.5k

I was thinking whether he kena chop

You can get more quote for comparison and go the workshop for better judgement on material and workmanship.

Stainless Steel is expensive  la.

my gate 20ft estimated like 10-15k when i wanted to change.....  terus change my mind  to "not to change"

Please also check the thickness of the Stainless Steel some tent to tipu thickness (quote prices base on different thickness)
*
i got an estimate of RM17K for a 20' 8" stainless steel gate. Opted for hiring 2 good painters, buying putty, primer and automotive paint, and lending them my handheld orbital and belt sanders. After the paint had dried and hardened, I coated the lock hasps in plastidip. Was waaaaay cheaper.

Ever heard of security themselves work with outsider to break in houses? Cannot trust 100% lo

In condos, some grills like balcony or yard windows very hard to paint due to limited space and the smells

Landed very convenient to work with

Thats true, depends on preferences too

Bear in mind, 15 yrs later mild steel grill maybe more expensive than the stainless steel price now, with much less quality too
*
true

but if count in value if offset with inflation ..thats about the same

and we might have technology breakthrough will offered cheaper and much stronger than degraded steel

Why say so?

I see quite many of theirs neighbour also use SS, probably 30-40% there

But some maybe cheaper grade, 2k+, after few yrs seems very dull colour, lower grade i guess
*
Low grade like 201 202 430 etc all easy to rust, need at least 301 304 to last long, 316 is best but really rare. Quality also depends on thickness, spot weld vs full weld etc

Full weld means totally all joint surfaces will be welded?

Usually they count by sqft but since urs is just one door maybe a bit higher for transportation since they can't transport many at once to save cost. Also depends on your door design la, if like current one OK la, if got close here close there bend here bend there got pattern complicated design it's more expensive.

I did my whole house semi d 2.5 Storey stainless steel grille cost me RM47/sqft around September 2022

Your door I think about 8' x 5'? So 40sqft. But if door only usually will be higher maybe let's say with all the inflations and surcharge transport maybe 60/sqft. That's about RM2.4k lo. Try get few quotations la lol

Raw material is always cheaper than workmanship, labour & profit margin
