## {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 **glides sideways** like a sliding door, then **opens like a regular door**. Because it slides first, it needs **minimal clearance** to open.
The benefits that sold us:
- **No bottom track** – Finally, a easy clean bathroom door!
- **Space saving magic** – Our bathroom feels 50% bigger
- **Built for Singapore's climate** – No warping like traditional timber doors
- **Sleek finish** – Looks modern and expensive

That's how I stumbled upon **Renovaid Team**.

## The Ordering Process – Step by Step
Let me walk you through exactly how it worked, so you know what to expect.
### How We Got Started
I sent a WhatsApp message to **9898 9268**.
They responded quickly – no phone calls needed.
- Door size
- Postal code
- Our requirements
**Pro tip:** Have your measurements ready before you message.
### The Technician Came to Us
We scheduled a **complimentary home visit** .
What happened during the visit:
- The technician arrived within the promised window
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- We chose our design – white powder coated finish
- He measured everything twice 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!
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
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.
Not gonna lie – the wait tested my patience. 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 time slot. They gave us a morning slot.
The installer arrived at the promised time. Friendly, uniformed, and fully prepared..
The whole installation took about 1.5 hours.
- Removed our old rotting wooden door
- Put in our brand new space saving door
- Made sure there was no mess
Before packing up, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were 100% happy. Great after-sales service.
We paid the final payment on the spot via PayNow.

It's been over a month now, and here is my unfiltered opinion: **Best home improvement decision we made for 2026.**
### What We Love
| Feature | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|

| **Smooth Operation** | Glides like butter. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Humidity Proof** | Looks exactly like day one. Perfect for Singapore's humidity. |
| **Looks** | The grey powder coated finish is gorgeous. Sleek and premium. |
### The Not-So-Good (Very Little)
Honestly, there's very little to dislike, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Lead time** – 18 days felt long, but they warned us. Plan your renovation schedule accordingly.
- **Cancellation fee** – Fair, but good to know. Reasonable – their time isn't free
- **Appointment only** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. WhatsApp first!
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

Here is the funny part – We were so impressed with the space saving toilet door, we ended up getting Renovaid to do every door in our house.
### Our New Bedroom Doors
You could hear everything through them.
