Replacing your HDB main door might seem like a straightforward task — but in reality, it involves more than just choosing a design and having it installed. From HDB regulations to fire safety compliance and proper dismantling, here’s what you can expect when upgrading your main entrance door in Singapore.
🔧 1. Site Visit & Measurement
The first step is to schedule a onsite measurement. Our team will:
Measure your existing door dimensions accurately
Check if your unit requires a fire-rated door
Assess whether single or double leaf is more suitable
Custom door fabrication ensures a perfect fit, especially in older or non-standard HDB units.
🔥 2. Fire Safety Check (if applicable)
If your main door opens to a lift lobby, staircase, or shared corridor, HDB requires you to install a fire-rated door — typically with a 30-minute rating. At Ho Ho, we’ll:
Help you confirm if fire-rated compliance is needed
Apply for the necessary HDB permit on your behalf
Ensure installation meets SCDF and HDB requirements
🧱 3. Dismantling
We’ll dismantle and dispose of your old door as part of the package.
🚪 4. New Door Installation with Accessories
Once the door is ready, installation typically takes just a few hours. Our price includes:
Solid laminated or fire-rated door door panel
Quality lockset
Magnetic door stopper
Door closer (for fire-rated doors)
Smoke detector (where applicable)
1-year warranty
⏳ 5. Lead Time
Depending on the material and design chosen, lead time usually ranges from:
7–10 working days for standard laminate doors
14-21 working days for fire-rated doors (with HDB permit approval)
We’ll notify you when the door is ready and schedule a convenient installation time.
Final Thoughts
Replacing your HDB main door is not just an upgrade in appearance — it’s also about safety, compliance, and long-term durability. At Ho Ho Doors, we simplify the entire process with professional guidance, factory-direct pricing, and reliable installation.
