## {What is a Slide & Swing Toilet Door
If you've never heard of a slide & swing toilet door, don't worry – we hadn't either.

Here is why this is perfect for Singapore bathrooms:

- **Space saving magic** – I can actually walk in without shuffling
- **Waterproof & humidity resistant** – Made of aluminium and acrylic
- **Modern aesthetic** – Looks way better than cheap bifold doors

## From First Contact to Installation
Here is a play by play of our toilet door replacement journey.
### Step 1: First Contact – 9898 9268
The first thing I did was message their WhatsApp number.
They asked for:
- Door size
- HDB location
- What type of door we needed
**Pro tip:** Have your measurements ready before you message.
### The Measurer Came to Us
We scheduled a **free on-site measurement** .
On the day of the visit:
- The technician arrived within the promised window
- He brought finish options and brochures
- We picked our preferred style – 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 **person who calls the shots** is home. Learn from my mistake!
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
Once we signed off, we were told installation would take **about 3-4 weeks**. Ours took exactly 18 days.
I was getting antsy by week three. But when installation day finally arrived, it was worth every day.
### Step 4: Installation Day
The evening before installation, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a 1-2 hour arrival window. They gave us a morning slot.
The installer arrived at the promised time. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
He:
- Hauled away the old door (it was disgusting at the bottom)
- Installed the new slide and swing door
- Cleaned up everything before leaving
Before packing up, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were 100% happy. He even explained the cleaning process.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.
