The leaf, the board, or the arm
A gate that drops has a hinge problem. A gate that hums and does not move has a board, a limit or a motor problem. They are not the same callout.
| What you see | Likely cause | What to do first / typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Gate has dropped on the latch | Hinge pin or weld has snapped | On-site weld and primer: S$180 to S$350 |
| Motor clicks, leaf does not travel | PCB, transformer, limit or battery | Diagnostic and that part: S$220 to S$450 |
| Arm leaks oil or will not hold | Hydraulic seal or a tired electromechanical arm | Service or single or dual arm: S$480 to S$950 |
| Sliding leaf jumps the track | Roller, track or shoot bolt | Track and latch: S$240 to S$480 |
2026 autogate and welding bands
Outdoor controls sit in the weather. A board that has already been soaked is replaced, not dried on the driveway and hoped over.
| Job | 2026 SGD band | Inclusions |
|---|---|---|
| Dropped or snapped gate hinge, on-site weld | S$180 to S$350 | Arc or MIG weld on wrought-iron or mild-steel HDB or landed gate, plus anti-rust primer. |
| Autogate PCB, transformer, limit switch or battery | S$220 to S$450 | Diagnostic and parts for FAAC, Ditec, BFT, OAE, Dormakaba or DEA boards. |
| Bottom roller track and latch realignment | S$240 to S$480 | Roller or track replacement and heavy-duty latch or shoot-bolt alignment. |
| Autogate arm or underground motor service and replacement | S$480 to S$950 | Hydraulic or electromechanical single or dual arm service, or one arm replaced. |
A new leaf is not this weld
The hinge weld and the motor rows stay here. A new gate, a stainless rack or an aluminium frame is a fabrication quote.
Autogate motors, PCBs and on-site gate hinge welding: access and preparation
Autogate motors, PCBs and on-site gate hinge welding is about the opening, the gate, the window or the grab point that is already there. A grille, a gate adjustment, a grab bar on sound tile, or a window that needs a seal is not automatically an HDB hacking permit. Replacing a window sash is a BCA window-safety question and an approved window contractor, not a silicone visit.
Height, the number of openings, and whether the frame is rotten change the visit. Condo facades are often MCST-controlled. HDB window replacement follows BCA as well as HDB. Landed upper floors need a safe method before a ladder goes up.

Plan Autogate motors, PCBs and on-site gate hinge welding
Look from inside. Do not work over a railing.
Identify the hardware: roller, closer, rivet, mesh or bar.
Repair or fit the part the opening can take. Do not drill a shelter wall.
Test the latch, the closer or the mesh tension.

| Access | HDB | Condo | Landed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows | BCA retrofitting applies to casements. A seal is not a new sash. | MCST may require the original facade look. | Upper storeys need tied access. Do not free-climb. |
| Bars and mesh | Grab bars need sound tile or a stud, not a hollow door. | The same fixing rule, plus a management notice if drilling is noisy. | External gates and balustrades are checked for rust, not painted over. |
| Shelter | Do not screw into an HDB household shelter wall or cover the vent. | A condo safe room, if any, follows the by-law. | A landed shelter or store is not a place for an improvised rack across a vent. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a snapped HDB gate hinge be welded without removing the leaf?
Usually yes. On-site arc or MIG welding and anti-rust primer are S$180 to S$350 when the leaf can be propped safely.
Which autogate brands can you repair?
FAAC, Ditec, BFT, OAE, Dormakaba and DEA. A board, transformer, limit switch or battery is S$220 to S$450. An arm or underground motor is S$480 to S$950.
Is a new steel gate the same price as a hinge weld?
No. The weld on a leaf that already exists stays S$180 to S$350. A new leaf, a new frame or a rack is quote on inspection on the metal fabrication page. That page does not publish a rate per kilogram.
