Condo Main Doors in Singapore: Stylish, Secure & Custom-Sized

Common Types of Condo Main Doors in Singapore

Various areas of a condominium require specific types of doors in terms of design, functionality, and security. The most common types, along with their key features, are listed below.

Main Entrance Doors

The condo main door serves as both a security feature and a stylish highlight. It is usually available in fire-rated, laminate or solid wood types. Most homeowners also want a custom-sized condominium front door for their unit.

Bedroom Doors

Each condo bedroom door must provide privacy and harmonise with the interior design. Standard door sizes in Singapore are based on typical condo room door dimensions, with fancier condos sometimes featuring wider door frames. Soundproof options are also available.

Toilet Doors

Bathroom doors must be functional and waterproof. The condo toilet door is commonly crafted as a bifold or a sliding door to utilise space in a humidity-resistant manner.

Gate Doors

Security gates offer an extra layer of security for condominium entrances. A good condo main door gate does not compromise on design and, at the same time, provides the necessary security.

Condo Main Door Sizing & Measurements

Accurate measurements are essential to ensure your condominium door fits seamlessly into its frame and complies with building requirements. Even a few millimetres off can cause problems during installation or affect the performance of digital locks.

• Width – Measure at three points (top, middle, and bottom) to account for any unevenness in the frame.
• Height – Take measurements from the finished floor level up to the underside of the lintel.
• Thickness – Most Singapore condo main doors range from 38 mm to 45 mm, which is the standard size suitable for fire-rated digital lock installations.

Digital Locks & Security for Condo Main Doors

Condominium living in Singapore is moving towards digital lock systems for added convenience and security. However, not all locks are suitable for condo main doors.

• Fire-rated requirement: The main door of a condo is usually fire-rated. Any digital lock installed must therefore be certified as compatible with fire-rated doors, ensuring the door retains its fire safety certification.
• Integration with access systems: Some condominiums are equipped with intercoms or central access control systems. A proper installation ensures the digital lock works seamlessly with these systems without compromising safety.
• Professional installation: Working with an experienced condo door contractor ensures that both the lock and the door remain compliant with SCDF and BCA regulations while delivering the convenience of keyless entry.

Material & Design Options for Condo Main Doors

The choice of materials and finishes for your condo door affects not only aesthetics but also long-term durability.

Material choices:

• Solid wood: Offers strength and a classic look but requires more upkeep in Singapore’s humid climate.
• Laminate doors: Provide a modern appearance with lower maintenance, available in scratch- and water-resistant finishes.
• Fire-rated cores: Essential for condo main doors to meet safety requirements; these cores can be combined with wood veneers or laminates for design flexibility.

Aesthetic Finishes for Modern Condo Main Doors

• Minimalist finishes such as smooth laminates or matte coatings.
• Decorative designs like wood grains, geometric panels, or integrated grills.
• Special solutions such as soundproof doors or pet-friendly condo doors with customised access panels.

Maintenance guidance:

• Regularly clean laminate surfaces with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.
• For solid wood, apply sealants to protect against moisture and warping.
• Always confirm that decorative finishes remain fire-rated certified, as not all coatings maintain compliance.

Replacement & Installation of Condo Main Doors

Replacing or fitting a new condo main door requires skill to ensure it becomes compliant and fits well.

Choosing the Right Installer

Installation is a difference maker, and the services of a professional result in an installation that lasts the longest. Your collaboration with a company that knows a thing or two about condo door replacement should involve adherence to fire-rating regulations, the fitting of digital locks, and compliance with condo management regulations.

Pre-Installation Preparation

Preparation is as essential as installation itself. Our crew starts by making precise measurements and ensuring the clearance area of the new door condo. When a client wants to remove the bomb shelter door from the condo, they must first seek the consent of the condo management to verify compliance.

Installation Steps

The first step in the installation process is adjusting the new frame, followed by fixing the door. Digital locks and knobs are designed to fit the thickness of the condo unit door correctly. Following the installation, final checks are carried out, including a clearance check, a lock match, and verification of fire labels to ensure compliance.
