Door hardware — locking, closing & access systems.
The hardware is what actually makes a door work — locksets, closers, hinges, exit devices and access control, specified to suit the door, the building and its compliance requirements. We regularly specify and install hardware from ASSA ABLOY's Australian ranges, including Lockwood, Whitco and Yale, and from AMS Australia's high-security range, alongside other leading manufacturers.
The right hardware, specified properly.
Locksets & Cylinders
Mechanical and keyed-alike locking systems specified to the door's rating and the building's master key schedule.
Door Closers & Hinges
Self-closing devices and hinge sets matched to door weight and fire rating, so the door closes and seals correctly every time.
Exit & Panic Hardware
Egress devices for fire, life-safety and high-traffic doors, installed to meet current building code requirements.
Access Control & Electronic Locking
Card, fob and networked locking solutions integrated into the door and frame — from single points of entry to facility-wide systems.
ASSA ABLOY product ranges
We regularly specify and install hardware from ASSA ABLOY's Australian brands — including Lockwood, Whitco and Yale — matched to the door, frame and compliance level required. We're not a formally accredited ASSA ABLOY dealer, but decades of hands-on experience with their product ranges means we know how to specify and fit them correctly the first time.
AMS Australia high-security hardware
For secure and dual-locked doors, we also specify and install hardware from AMS Australia — an Australian-designed and manufactured range including dual-lock lever handles and high-security locking systems, with SCEC-endorsed products listed on the SEEPL for government and high-security applications.
Common questions.
What door hardware brands do you work with?
We regularly specify and install ASSA ABLOY's Australian ranges — including Lockwood, Whitco and Yale — alongside other leading manufacturers, matched to the door, frame and compliance level required.
Can hardware be upgraded without replacing the whole door?
In most cases, yes. Locksets, closers, hinges and access control can usually be upgraded on an existing door and frame, provided the door itself is in sound condition — this is often the more cost-effective option compared with full replacement.
Do you supply SCEC-approved hardware?
Yes — for Zone 3 to 5 environments we supply and install hardware from the SCEC Security Equipment Evaluated Products List, including approved locking devices and keying systems.
What's the difference between a master key and a keyed-alike system?
A master key system lets one key open multiple doors while each door can also have its own unique key for individual access; keyed-alike means every door shares the exact same key. Master keying is the standard approach for most commercial buildings with mixed access needs.
Do fire doors need special hardware?
Yes — locks, closers and any hardware fitted to a fire door must be compatible with its fire rating and compliant with AS 1905.1. Fitting the wrong hardware to a fire door is a common and easily avoidable compliance failure.
What access control options are available for commercial doors?
Card and fob readers, keypad access, and networked electronic locking that ties into a building-wide access control system — from a single door through to a full facility rollout.
How often should door hardware be serviced?
High-traffic doors benefit from an annual check of closers, hinges and locking hardware as a minimum, alongside whatever inspection schedule applies to fire or secure doors specifically. Worn hardware is one of the most common reasons a compliant door fails inspection.
Can hardware be retrofitted to an existing door without replacing the frame?
Usually yes, provided the frame is in good condition and can accept the new hardware's cutouts and reinforcement — this is assessed as part of scoping any hardware upgrade.
What's the difference between a mortice lock and a cylinder lock?
A mortice lock is recessed into the door itself and generally offers a higher security rating, common on commercial and fire-rated doors. A cylinder lock is a simpler, surface-fitted mechanism more typical of lighter-duty applications.
Do you supply hardware for high-traffic commercial doors?
Yes — heavy-duty closers, hinges and locking hardware rated for high cycle counts, specified to suit the volume of traffic the door actually sees.
What is dual-lock hardware and when is it used?
Dual-lock hardware, such as AMS Australia's lever systems, lets a single lever action release two separate locks on the same door simultaneously, instead of operating each lock by hand. It's used on secure rooms, high-security offices and critical infrastructure where a door needs more than one locking point.
