Why we only recommend Yale 323 G for gate?

Yale 323 G is the only model of digital lock in the entire market for gate. Usage of other digital lock model for gate installation require a usage of an ugly metal box to conceal the back body of the digital lock. As a gate and door manufacturer for over 30 years, we strongly discourage that and do not close any order for our gate digital lock other than Yale 323 G.

UGLY APPEARANCE - The metal plate spoils the wrought iron gate design from the front view and the metal box spoils the design from the back view.
                  
VERY UNSAFE – The metal box is only secured by an padlock which can be broken easily witihn 3 secs by a clipper seen below. You are effectively wasting your money on the digital lock and making your house unsafe by installing other model of digital lock other than Yale 323 G for your metal gate.

Why other companies recommend it?
The metal box is invented before Yale 323 G was launched and was a temporary solution for gate digital lock. These companies continues to recommend the use of the metal box allows them to reap greater profit.

Why should I replace my HDB gate to Wrought Iron Gate?

Why should I replace my HDB gate to Wrought Iron Gate is the most common questions I get from clients?

The picture below shows how a standard HDB gate looks like. This gate is still a common sight in our heartland in Singapore.

However, this HDB original gate needs to be painted occasionally as the paint peel off easily. I still remember the time when I have one of these gate at home. Every year before Chinese New Year, I will be tasked to paint the gate because I was the youngest in the family.I dislike the task as I hate the smell of the paint.

Reason 1 for replacing HDB original gate to wrought iron gate:
Do you or your family to paint your gate every year? 

If you do not want to then you should buy a new wrought iron gate? 
You can save the time and money of buying and painting the gate

Every time a customer order a standard size wrought iron gate from me, I will indicate in the order form to minimise the dimension of the small panel of the gate.


This is because of an incident that happens a few year ago when I just started my sale career in Ho Ho. A old granny came to my booth to order a gate from me with her daughter. Her daughter asked me, "Can you get the gate installed tomorrow? I want it ASAP". Initially, I thought that their gate was faulty but in the end, I realise it was not the case. The daughter wanted a new gate as soon as possible because her mother fell after trying to enter the gate with many NTUC bags. Apparently, like many people, the old granny only open one panel of the gate and try to squeeze through the small opening. The big bruise on the granny leg is still deeply rooted in my mind and I will not want the same incident to happen to any of my customers or their family.

Reason 2 for replacing HDB original gate to wrought iron gate: 
Do you want you or your family to fall while trying to squeeze through the small opening? Do you want to enter your home easily every day? 

If the answer is yes. You should change your gate to wrought iron gate. It will prevent unwanted accidents from happening to your loved ones. This is because all of our wrought iron gate comes in one small, one big panel so your door entrance will be wider and safer for users. 

Reason 3 for replacing HDB original gate to wrought iron gate: 
Do you want property agents always recommend their homeowner to get a new gate and door from us? Why? 

The answer is simple. Which unit will you buy? The unit with the gate above or the unit with a gate below. First impression is very important. The gate is the first impression that people will remember of the house as it is the first home decor people will see. 

Reason 4 for replacing HDB original gate to wrought iron gate: 
Wrought Iron Gate is very cheap now, if you get it from direct factory like us.
I still remember paying over $1000 for my first wrought iron gate 10 years ago. Now, it only cost 1/3 the price if you get from direct factory like us . In the world of inflation, it is a rare deal to come by. 

In summary, homeowner should choose wrought iron gate because it saves the hassle to paint you gate, it is safer for your family, it leaves your guest a better first impression and it is very cheap now.

What types of gate should I choose for my home?

What types of gate should I choose for my home?

Wrought iron gate, aluminium gate, wrought aluminium gate or stainless steel gate? This is a question that most home owner will have trouble with. I recently received an email from a customer asking me the difference between the gate or I decided to share with all the home owner who have the same problem.

As seen below, this is a material comparison page I showed my customer.

In summary, wrought iron gate is great for its strength and price but due to the Singapore's humid weather, it is prone to rust especially for home which are located near the coast of Singapore. Aluminium gate, wrought aluminium gate and stainless steel gate are good choice as they do not rust. However, they are slightly more pricey.

In short, I always tell my customer the following:

If you just want the security , pick wrought iron gate (very strong)

If you want the latest design, pick wrought aluminium gate (new material in market)

If you want privacy, pick aluminium gate (covered up designs are available)

If you want to the gate to look the same after 20 years, pick stainless steel gate.

After hearing these, some of my smart customers will ask me, "So what will you pick for your home?"

My answer is galvanised wrought iron gate. It is strong and less prone to rust due to the galvanised protection.

Our Wrought Iron Gate Vs. HDB Original Gate

Why should I change my old HDB gate to wrought iron gate from Ho Ho? 

If you can't find a reason to convince yourself it is time to change your old HDB gate, let me give you two super good reasons!

Reason 1: You do not need to squeeze through the small opening of your old HDB gate

For some reason or other, the gates that comes with the old HDB flats are small (3 feet) and have two equal panel making the opening of the gate really tiny. I always see my bigger friends and relatives struggle to squeeze through my old gate when I am lazy to open both the panel.

It is also tough for me when I need to enter my house with our the groceries. But all these can be resolved if you change your gate to wrought iron gate from Ho Ho.

Being users ourself, we understand our customers' concern so you can customise the number of panel you want (1 panel, 2 panel or 3 panel with no extra cost) and the width of your panel.

Why can we do that?

SIMPLE 

Because we have our own factory in Singapore and customise your gate for our customers.

We DO NOT mass manufacture our wrought iron gate in China or use leftover gates from big projects for our beloved customers.

We valued our reputation that our founder has worked hard to establish since 1976.

Reason 2: You deserve a inviting gate that will greet you and your guests at the door

I believe that every customer is unique and deserve a wrought iron gate that fit his/her personality and desired home decor. Being the first thing that will greet you and your guest at your home, your wrought iron gate will make or break your home experience. So hurry and order your customised wrought iron gate from Ho Ho at at a reasonable price.

Wrought Iron Gate Lock


Wrought Iron Gate Lock

FAQ: What type of lock comes with the wrought iron gate?

Answer: Double locking lock with 8 computerised keys. The lock comes with 8 keys because it is tough and costly to duplicate these keys. Duplication can only be done at specialised key store at a cost of $10 - $12 each thus our company understand the needs of our customers and provide 8 keys for all our lock.

FAQ: What happen will the lock is damaged?

Answer: If the lock is damaged within one year, parts and labour will be free under our full warranty. However, rest assured, this usually do not happen and the lock can usually last at least 5 years based on our experience.

After the warranty, lock can be replaced and the cost of $90 - $150 depending on the quality of your existing lock.

FAQ: Can I get a better quality lock?

Answer: Of course you can. You can ask our sale rep for the alternative lock choice such as stainless steel lock that comes at a slight premium price.

FAQ: Can I buy my own lock?

Answer: You can. But we will not reduce the price of our wrought iron gate as this is a package price and we will not install the lock for you as special lock installation requires special tools that we do not have.
However, I will not suggest customers to buy the lock on their own as buying one lock by itself is very costly, at least $200 - $300, which to me is not worth it.
