## {What is a Slide and Swing Door
If you've never heard of a slide and swing door, don't worry – we hadn't either.
In simple terms: the door **glides sideways** like a pocket door, then **opens like a regular door**. Thanks to this no bottom track mechanism, it needs **minimal clearance** to open.
The advantages that sold us:
- **Trackless floor** – Finally, a easy clean bathroom door!
- **Space saving magic** – Our bathroom feels 50% bigger
- **Built for Singapore's climate** – No rotting like old wooden doors
- **Modern aesthetic** – Looks way better than cheap bifold doors

## {The Problem with Old Bifold Doors
Our old bifold door was a constant annoyance.
Every time someone opened the door, it hit the toilet bowl.
We tried ignoring the problem for months.
That's when I started searching online for terms like:
- "compact bathroom door HDB"
- "best door for small toilet Singapore"
- "trackless toilet door"
And that's when everything changed.

## What to Expect When You Order
Here is a step by step breakdown of our toilet door replacement journey.
### Step 1: WhatsApp Message – 9898 9268
The first thing I did was message their WhatsApp number.
They asked for:
- Doorway measurements
- HDB location
- What type of door we needed
Makes the process smoother.
### Step 2: Free On-Site Measurement
We scheduled a **free on-site measurement** .
What happened during the visit:
- The guy showed up on time
- He brought finish options and brochures
- We chose our design – white powder coated finish
- He double checked all dimensions like a true professional
One thing to know: A deposit is required during the visit. We paid via PayNow – super easy.
Don't send your helper. Learn from my mistake!
### Step 3: The Manufacturing Period
After we confirmed the design and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take **14 to 21 working days**. Ours took exactly 18 days.
Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. But when installation day finally arrived, it was completely worth the wait.
### What Happened on Installation Day
The evening before installation, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a 1-2 hour arrival window. Ours was 10am-12pm.
The installer arrived at 10:30 AM. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
He:
- Removed our old rotting wooden door
- Installed the new slide and swing door
- Cleaned up everything before leaving
Before he left, he asked us to try opening and closing it to make sure we were 100% happy. Great after-sales service.
We paid the remaining balance on the spot via PayNow.
