Great video! Very informative for people to do simple diy. Suggesting to do a water heater wiring check video?? ( i dont recommend novice doing the change themselves but how to check if everything is in order) I believe it will be very informative for the general public especially after the report on the water heater incident.

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Hahah hot topic for water heater 😆 I can make one!

Hi do you install Wired Video DoorBell？

[@cadenchen6964]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sharpshark626]

Hey bro.do you have video talking about different kind of drills and its bits? I am so confused which one to buy for my first DIY simple project

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

I do! Check out What's In my belt video!

[@anthonyfrancis.4304]

I am staying at Ponggol walk. Do you fix room to room calling bell? Please advise and thank you.

[@yoongimarryme9053]

What power drill brand do u recommend? First time getting tools

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Hi I recommend the one in my video. You can find the link in the description! It’s a makita

[@kelvinho3244]

Thanks for the vid. Was looking at this traditional door bell n reusing the given existing hdb door bell switch instead of the current digital ones with transmitter. Is it possible to use strong tape instead of drilling? Do i hv to do anything to the switch outside?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Yes u can!but putting in a screw is better

[@1984facade]

Just to check with u I wish to remove my HDB door bell and swap to a light bulb for my prayer alter and make the on/off switch inside my house .is it possible for me to use the door bell wire cables?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

No these are not live wires and there is no power I'm them

[@linwei20]

Hi when I use the plier to test the connector, there's isn't any sound on the bell, but there's sparks, same layout as yours, top and bottom left row. Is my bell spoil?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Yea most probably.. when u use the pliers there should be a chime

[@linwei20]

Thanks for the speedy replies bro! No wonder I thought my connection was wrong all along. May I know where did u get this bell, as mine looks exactly same as yours

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

@@linwei20 it's usually available at most hardwarestores. I get mine tight downstairs!

[@SyrixPlayz]

Hi bro, wanna ask. Im planning to install a fire alarm doorbell.. any plan to do tutorial?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Not really lol! But the concept is the same the fire alarm door bell is activated using a solenoid which has 2 trigger points. It is then powered by a couple of D cell batteries..

[@tanchoonheong]

ah...so that the mystery small circular white cover. HDB Virtual Tour cannot zoom in enough to see the label. OK! will get a Wired Door Bell before Key collection! thanks!

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Tell your ID to install it hahah!

[@tanchoonheong]

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

I love this spirit! Then you should do it like my neighbour who wired up a fire bell!

[@cccece3737]

Thanks for sharing.❤What if the owner doesn't have a driller tools.can place the doorbell cover just that ?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

@@cccece3737 erm double sided tape might work

[@cccece3737]

@@ThePunggolHandyMan Haha just realised that double tape will do.Thanks

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

[@joys229]

Hi. I already installed the doorbell inside kitchen. Tested and works fine. But the doorbell switch outside gate just doesnt work when pressed. What is the cause?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

@joys229 maybe it's the switch problem have you checked the wiring?

[@hweehoon9696]

Jordan Bro, (i'm from SG Home DIY fb group - the one who said you must say when you're joking), why must Doorbell Receiver be mounted near ceiling? I saw my Britz Doorbell manual said must be 1.8metres high, but no reason given. Can I connect 2 wires to extend it to much lower height, so that I can see it clearly to troubleshoot? I guess battery contact points turned rusty after many years, need to clean. Any special way to connect the wires? Many Thanks!

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Hello! That's a funny instruction! I have one doorbell hidden under a foot cabinet and it still works! And yes you can bring the doorbell down but I have changed my batteries once every 3 years so there is no reason you need to have it so low. Remember 3 years ago? That's when we were all locked down

[@hweehoon9696]

@@ThePunggolHandyMan Ok great! Then, how to connect the extension wires ~ buy any type of wire connectors? Just find any 2 wires & just connect? Sorry i can't find anyone actually did such an extension, so must ask you for expert advice. Many thanks for your quick reply, Jordan Bro!

[@nelwhatmay]

Hi, can we change it to doorbell camera? Hdb allow?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Gotta check with HDB actually

[@hacienda7750]

Noob question, but I am having trouble finding an analog/mechanical doorbell for my place. Tried online and also a few hardware stores already. Can you please share where you got yours? Appreciate the help.

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

I bought it from opposite Damai LRT station in Punggol

[@Panpansings]

Any idea how to remove the cover to change the battery??

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

You need to pry it out with screw dricer

[@warheart03]

Which size tile drill bit you using?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

I use 5.5mm
