17.04.2010 - Door Gate

We decided to change our HDB aluminium framed gate to galvanized wrought iron which is stronger and durable than the usual aluminium gates.

Through recommendation by 1 of the forum mate, we managed to locate SPECSMETAL, which specialized in quality galvanized wrought iron gates. They are located at Tampines industry park, so near to our place!

We were attended by Mr. C.H.Tan (one of the family members from Spec Metal). Please remember to call 1st before drop by their showroom, as the person in charge may not be in, thus no one can attended to you.


The company name is Yang Kwang. A family business that ran for more than 30 over years.


Specs Metal which is by Yang Kwang organization.


The factory - they are the main manufacturer for all kinds of grill for most of the condominium and landed property in Singapore.


Showroom - all kind of designs can be choose from here or you may refer to the catalogue available. As for gate designs, you may specify your own - 1/2 split door, 3/4 split door or single door frame.


The handles are from VRH - established in 1972 which leading manufacturer of stainless steel products, a regional based company well known for their door lock products, while the locking system are anti-duplicate keys which from Makoto Japan.


The stopper for 1/2 split doors. The quality is much stronger compare to normal aluminium stopper.

Though a bit pricey compare to others, but we like the quality of the gate parts. We simply love the design and the fact of the gate where it has padded edges to ensure a quiet and smooth closure of the gate.

We choose a simple yet elegant design to match our sanctuary home, and we go for single door frame. Gate arrange to be install coming weekend, stay tune for further details!
