Exact same price with others Sir.

mufutau55:

Yes. You need it in all the outside entrances for SECURITY. We are talking about Nigeria here!

Ah ah ah ah. 9ja, that country na something else. I wasnt use to that. That means it would be easy for potential thieves to saw off wood doors. But it should be perfectly fitted and creamed or oiled. I hate the noise they make when i watch nollywood. Apparently metal.

Yes. Some are better than others based on their quality.. Nah money go talk!

Empiree: why do people use metal doors these day?. I dont think it was like that before. Recent Nigerian movies i have been watching for close to 10yrs now, the houses use metal doors the way they sound. But it seems only for the main entrance though. Is it for added security or what?

I believe it is primarily for security because most of the internal doors are wooden. My brother God protects o. Otherwise, those wooden doors, it takes a carpenter less than two minutes to dismantle them.....talk less of robbers. I don't know about the metal doors though and hope I never find out.

Just coming back from the market. ....... where I bought some foreign wooden doors

More. .

But in my research, I found this type of door somewhere and don't like the way it ended up. Seems like they placed it at a bathroom?

Working on the soakaway system, while minding the rains and water level.

@Sypder those are the end result of those type of doors, it was some fancy type of wood looking like plastic that was placed on the face. You better tell your client to stick with well build locally made ones.

Thank you for the feedback on this, Oga Spyder.. I am very much interested in how good or easy to install those frameless foreign wooden doors
on our local installed frames.. I have the same situation now that I can't decide if to go with local wooden doors or the foreign doors, but
the local wooden frames are already installed ready for the doors. Thank you.

Oga Spyder, may be I should forget about the foreign doors... I was also thinking of buying those above.. I do not like the end result.
May be our local wooden doors will be my best bet... I am still waiting for your judgments though.

Mr. Kopell, I think I am also changing my mind... May be those Chinese iron door will be suitable because they are very thin anyway and could be used inside or I will go full mounty and buy our locally made Mahogany wooden doors. But those doors are so nice and they last long when we used them here.. I think the end result of those doors above (more like PVC door) are lousy and useless.

This soak away pit is looking too close to the wall. Apart from the portion of the wall that collapsed under the pressure of sand, wont the excavation affect the foundation of this portion of the wall?

Oga Hajji I have read your comments about these types of doors. Fear not. My candid opinion is that the reason for the type of damage highlighted by "King Spyder's" picture lesson is that they are used in bathrooms where the shower area is not well demarcated and the bathroom is always wet thereby causing the doors to soak in in water. I think that even for the best mahogany wood exposed to the same conditions, its a matter of time before damage sets in. The remedy is to design your bathroom such that the door area is free from splashes of water. Additional you could slope the flooring towards the floor drainage so that water runs out easily. As long as the door has been made with the right materials, it should serve long enough.

Thank you Sir. And I have to agree with you 100% on your observations on the use of those doors. But the cover is supposed to be plastic coverings, how can a plastic just rusted away like this one.. You are right designing the bathroom adequately will help some situation.
But I am still staying away from them...

sir spyder,
I thought it was 'unadvisable' to do wooden frames after plastering??

peaceland:
sir spyder,

No, all wooden frames are best done after plastering, both for doors, windows etc. The frames are fitted after plastering then 'dressed' as we are doing in the pictures above.
