Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 22, 2015 Staff Share Posted September 22, 2015 I was first introduced to digital letter box locks (Yale digital) during the T.O.P. at Twin Waterfalls EC.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted August 21, 2018 Author Staff Share Posted August 21, 2018 Nowadays, don’t seem to see letter box digital locks in many newly T.O.P. Developments. Perhaps a passing fad? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted January 6, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted January 6, 2019 Spotted Yale letter box lock and some other analog ones. Location: HDB Bendemeer Light First time seeing these analog three digital codes. They can be bought cheaply on the internet. Some costing Singapore $23+ dollars only:- Strange: seems like both are digital locks. But to the left of the photo is a unbranded lock:- Below: The standard Yale digital lock without the extra digital 2nd lock:- “14-127” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted January 6, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted January 6, 2019 Found one in the internet. Not expensive at all.. but does not include installation. Most likely it is like swooping the existing keyhole unit with this one.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted January 6, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted January 6, 2019 Would you install one for your letter box? I can think of one good reason: A rental unit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted March 1, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted March 1, 2019 Who wants to install a digital lock for their home letter box? Huh? Not popular with my older staff? I loathe lazy people who DO NOT carry their keys! I have MARKED those who had said "YES"! No promotion for you! And YES, in a recession, you will be the first to go! Madam, where got this logic? Just because I like convenience you MARKED ME! Not fair! Sorry to disappoint you, boy! Life’s like that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted June 15, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted June 15, 2019 Today, 15 June 2019, I received a call: “You sell the digital lock?” My reply: “No. Just because I took photos of these lock and share it on my website; does not mean I sell them”. Persistent lady: “But you list your phone number!” P.S. Just because I happen to review it online as I travel widely and visited lots of places... means I sell this item? Can I also blame Google? This is because, lots of articles and resources added to this site.. even for non Feng Shui also do appear within Google's "interesting" links... Like that also can?

Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 25, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted July 25, 2019 Was at HDB Tanjong Pagar mixed development. Only 2 three digit locksets installed at this block. With only 999 tries... easier to breech. But then HDB usually installs police cameras... There are brochure bins at the bottom of each letterbox-rows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted October 24, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted October 24, 2019 Nowadays the three digit analog (dial) combination locks are cheap. Price range from $5.90 to $9.90. The Touch Screen Digital Electronic Password is seems slightly cheaper now... P.S. Please note that Geomancy.net does not sell these. Part of a wider common knowledge.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted March 28, 2020 Author Staff Share Posted March 28, 2020 1. This advert was found on a pillar at one of the blocks in Serangoon North. 2. The ad says: "Include installation at a net price of $60/-" 3. In the earlier threads, selling online at around Singapore Dollars = $18.90. (Not sure if shipping is included or not). 4. Frankly, in my opinion, removable of existing lock and installing a new one is a breeze. 5. The only thing is to get the correct thickness of the lock or the locking piece. 6. Generally, universal for HDBs. But for some landed properties have different specifications. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
