Metal Gates in Singapore

• Iron Wrought Gate
• Mild Steel Gate
• Aluminium gate
• Stainless Steel Gate

Almost every unit in HDB flats in Singapore are equipped with a trusty wrought iron gate. It is slowly becoming the norm and standard issue for BTO flats. Alternatives, which are equally popular, include Steel Gates (commonly Stainless Steel) and Aluminium gates.

Gates are traditionally painted black and decorated with flora designs. Door gates in Singapore are commonly either 4x7 or 3x7 ft gates. You should not have much of an issue being limited with gate size suitability when it comes to choosing your ideal option.

Two-door gate types are also common, equipped with a top and bottom gate stopper that can be unlocked for a more spacious opening. Gates are seldom equipped with padlocks these days but are instead built with a lock mechanism equipped to a handle. Although, it is possible for homeowners to replace the lock mechanism with a digital lock.

Prices of Metal Gates in Singapore

• Iron Wrought Gates - $700-$1000
• Mild Steel Gate - $600-$800
• Stainless Steel Gates - $400-$500
• Aluminium Gates - $400-$500
• Pet-Friendly Gates -$800-$1000

On average, a durable HDB gate in Singapore would cost you approximately $600 - $700.

Laser-cut customised gates sit at the highest price point, due to the customisation and intensive equipment required for the job to be done. Pet-friendly gates are demanding in requirements, such as anti-scratch and anti-sharp features to protect both your gate and your beloved pet.

Different metal options have different versatility, appearances, and weight. Each is of a different price point which may suit various homeowners with different budgets. They also offer different advantages along with a different set of problems. For example, wrought iron gates will rust more and faster compared to stainless steel gates. But the latter is less durable due to the impurities that it contains.

Aluminium is slowly fading out of popularity in Singapore, due to the competitive market for durable gates. It is more commonly used for fences instead.

Prices of HDB Gates in Singapore vary from contractor to contractor. However, cost of gates is often correlated with the time required to wield and build the gates. Stainless Steel Gates and Iron Wrought Gates are heavily affected by this factor, due to the intensive process involved in bringing them to the market and to consumers.

Additionally, iron faces a set of production difficulties when it comes to the local context of Singapore. Iron Wrought Gates would incur a higher maintenance cost than its stainless-steel counterpart, as it does not have anti-rust components. Stainless Steel gates are also created on a faster timeline than Iron Wrought Gates, making it the more affordable option.

What you should know before installing a new metal gate

These days, it is common that interior design companies will include these range of gates when clients purchase a renovation package from them.

Suppose you already have a renovation project ongoing. In that case, it might be wise to check with your interior designers to see if they can provide this service for you. While some firms specialise in such packages, others may focus on designing and building types of projects. So, it is essential to clarify and know the strength of the firm you are speaking to.

For tech-savvy homeowners, you can consider digital locks such as the Samsung Digital Lock to be installed on your gate. You should check with your respective gate installation company to see if this option is available for you.

Nevertheless, it would help if you chose a gate that suits your home's aesthetics and vibe. After all, first impressions count. And the first impression your guests will have is the entrance to your home.

How to choose well

1. The key requirement. Check the powder-coating quality — it's what stands between your gate and rust in our humidity.
2. Reviews with specifics beat star counts. Look for reviews that mention your job type and how problems were handled — not just "good service".
3. Itemised quotes only. A lump-sum quote is where surprises hide. Line items let you compare fairly across companies.
4. Never pay fully upfront. Deposit, progressive payments, and a retention until the work is done and checked.
