Funny enough I asked this question few months ago asking for a review of watson steel doors, couldn't get a response. I guess lots of people don't buy watson doors for some reason. Well I decided to give it a trial, although for internal rooms. I got the white watson steel doors for high traffic areas,( entrance from dining to kitchen, hall way leading to rooms) and China american panel door for bedrooms for my project. The steel door feels strong and sturdy,aesthetically the white color is more appealing, hence more expensive. I got the white for about 53k last month, though its a bit more expensive now due to the dollar crises.It can use it for entrance door cos it's a security door, locks from the side top and bottom,although when it comes to durability,it can't be compared to these locally fabricated steel doors made of thicker steel materials (1-2.5mm).(locally fabricated are much stronger). On the average it's a nice door,if u love it go for it.

Challenge with most imported doors are they'll only last 1 year before you begin to change them.

The initial look and feel is not enough, durability is key.

Goodluck

How did you come to the conclusion that the keys are not strong? These are locally custom made doors by different individuals to their specifications. Some could even personally import the keys and give to the door maker.

I have practical experience in this area. The keys are substandard, China-made keys.
They sell for between N7,000 and N13,000, depending on which shop you are buying it.

Fairly ok engine with keys are not that type you are seeing on the door and they start from N20k upward. Which Nigerian carpenter would want to use a 20k door engine on a door that less than 50k will finish it?

Just be gentle with the key. Oil the key hole at intervals because they are made of rusty bad steel materials. They are only quoted in shiny paints outside.

Thanks I now have a source.

You’re very correct!

There are levels to these things.

Hello house in a case where an amendment is to be done in a bungalow. I am insisting on moving the visitors toilet entrance to be inside the sitting room rather than in the varrender. So we need to both extend the v.t and put a wall to close out the varrender.

Would it be necessary to put a beam before setting the blocks or would the weight sit well on the German floor when casted?

And would an extra beam be needed on the lintel level too or we can just raise the blocks to leveling level?

Apparently technology has moved on and I didn't need to break my wall to pass a dryer vent like before. I ordered this from Amazon.

Thanks.

I buy brass keys and handles from Home Depot. The least is $120 each.

After soil analysis no water was found in my site at ihitennasa...
Haven't been home in years....insecurity has kept most away.

True. But I believe things will improve.
Your situation would involve taking the risk and going ahead with it. In my place, almost everyone that did theirs before me failed. Now , since I used the guys, many others have used them around the community and getting good results.

That’s like N120k per door handle. Which carpenter will now use such handle to make door and want to sell at N150k?

Thanks you confirm my assertions. People don’t know that what are being imported into Nigeria from Asia are tras.h.

Many of our door handles are only quoted in brass paints. They are substantially substandard, in all ramifications - including the ones being touted as Turkey 🇹🇷 these days.

Nearly everything and anything you can find on Konga, Jiji etc and our shops are knocked-off versions of the original ones. Nearly everything!

That’s why the US and European governments are warning their citizens to desist from buying stuffs from online sellers who are known to be Asians. Asian manufacturers have started infiltrating the West with cheaper, substandard products in recent times.

Sites like Temu, Banggood, etc are expanding their frontiers on a large scale. Our people from Nigeria buy cheaply there and ship to Europe before they reroute those items to Nigeria.

If you know a good joinery person, you can use gedu. It lasts longer.

Could you please explain what gedu is?
Thank you.

Bross leave the toilet outside,. I don't think I will be comfortable sitting outside a toilet door facing me directly knowing full well someone is taking a shyte there. I have not seen anywhere in the western world where you can enter and exit a toilet direct from a living room but yet Nigerians seem to have perfect this scene!

Except you are buying the ready made doors of that version and quality, then there is that risk.
However, most HDF doors are costume made with components of choice from the owners.

However, most HDF doors are costume made with components of choice from the owners.

Even with custom made, I guarantee you that it’s only the wood used that can be original. Those artisans know how to cut corners. You, as a layman in that trade, won’t know how they have succeeded in chea.ting you.
May be the artwork or the design you ask them to put in the door too can be original.

If you want your door to be 95% original, buy your mortise engine and door handles and hinges from an OEM shop or store or online and mark it before handing it over to those carpenters. You can also wait while they fix it.

Wetin we never see.

We have seen situations where drivers diverted doors with original engines and handles elsewhere and changed all the locks to China made before handing the door over to the owner.

Come to think of it, there are hinges of €4 here that can carry a weight of up to 300kg. That’s like N4500 per hinge. Not a butterfly hinge o. Their own butterfly hinges too start from that range but they are stronger than those substandards we are used to in Nigeria.

You would believe with me that the same butterfly hinge is being sold around N3k to N5k in Nigeria.

Any of us who os doing housing projects in Nigeria and has family or trusted friends in Europe or America can ask them to help buy and ship through our brothers and sisters who do cargo handlings.

The biggest Ghana-must-go bag filled with goods here is being shipped to Nigeria at N80k.

That bag can contain about 50 medium-sized door handles, engines and hinges. Buying that would give you rest of mind.
One would know he is not changing or repairing doors in the next 7 to 10 years, if at all there would be need for repair.

Gedu is a kind of tree that grows well in Southwest Nigeria. Ask timber fellers. They will show you one. It is stronger than Iroko and Wallnut trees.

Just that our people have nearly cut and exported everything abroad.

The wood sells like hot-cake abroad.

Please who knows the Ongoing cost of MDF/HDF boards ??
