## {How This Trackless Toilet Door Works
If you've never heard of a slide and swing door, don't worry – we hadn't either.
Simply put: the door **slides to the side first** like a sliding door, then **opens like a regular door**. Thanks to this no bottom track mechanism, it needs **minimal clearance** to open.
Here is why this matters for HDB flats:
- **Trackless floor** – No more cleaning mouldy tracks
- **Nearly 100% opening clearance** – Our bathroom feels twice as spacious
- **Built for Singapore's climate** – Made of aluminium and acrylic
- **Sleek finish** – We chose the white powder coated finish
{Want to see it yourself? **[Check out Renovaid Team's Slide and Swing Door page here](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/slide-and-swing-doors.html)** . Trust me – it looks even better installed.

And that's when everything changed.

## What to Expect When You Order
Here is a step by step breakdown of our Renovaid Team experience.
### Step 1: WhatsApp Message – 9898 9268
The first thing I did was message their WhatsApp number.
They replied within a few hours – no phone calls needed.
- Doorway measurements
- HDB location
- What type of door we needed
**Pro tip:** Have your doorway size on hand before you message.
### Step 2: Free On-Site Measurement
Booking was easy – just a few messages back and forth.
What happened during the visit:
- The guy showed up on time
- 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.
Don't send your helper. Learn from my mistake!
### Step 3: The 14-21 Day Wait
After we approved everything and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take **14 to 21 working days**. We waited 18 days – right in the middle of their estimate.
I was getting antsy by week three. But when installation day finally arrived, it was worth every day.
### Step 4: The Big Day
The evening before installation, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a time slot. They gave us a morning slot.
The installer arrived at the promised time. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
The whole job was done in 90 minutes.
- Removed our old rotting wooden door
- Installed the new slide and swing door
- Made sure there was no mess
Before he left, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were completely satisfied. He even showed us how to maintain it.
We paid the final payment on the spot via PayNow.

## Living with the Trackless Toilet Door
It's been over a month now, and here is my unfiltered opinion: **We absolutely love it.**
### The Benefits
| Aspect | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Saving** | Bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for compact Singapore toilets. |
| **Trackless Floor** | Cleaning is SO easy now. Goodbye mouldy bifold door grooves. |
| **Smooth Operation** | Glides like butter. Quiet and effortless. |
| **Water Resistance** | Zero swelling, warping, or rot. Perfect for Singapore's humidity. |
| **Looks** | The grey powder coated finish is gorgeous. Modern and expensive. |
### What Could Be Better
I'm struggling to find negatives, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Lead time** – 18 days felt long, but they warned us. Order early if you're in a rush
- **Cancellation fee** – Fair, but good to know. Just be aware before booking.
- **Appointment only** – You can't just show up at their showroom. So message before you go.
That's literally it.
