Door Furniture
We stock door hardware from popular brands including Gainsborough, Lockwood and Zanda.
From modern to traditional door handles, square or round roses, our door hardware is available in a range of finishes including matt black, stainless steel, satin chrome, satin brass and polished chrome.
When selecting the right furniture for your internal and external doors, you will also need to consider the different types of levers available:
Entrance Lever: External entry doors you would like to lock. E.g.Front Doors, Back Doors and Garage Doors.
Privacy Lever: Interior doors you would like to lock. E.g. Bathrooms, Toilets and Offices.
Passage Lever: Interior doors you don’t want to lock. E.g. Laundry, Living Room and Bedroom.
Dummy Lever: To use on doors that are non-operational. E.g. Closets and Wardrobes.
We also stock Corinthian Elements Pad pull handles. These pull handles are made from American White Oak Timber and are available in square, round or d-form styles as a single or pair option.
Whether you’re renovating, building, or updating your home, door furniture shouldn’t be an afterthought. We recommend giving door furniture the same amount of attention that you give every other detail of your renovation or new home build. The door handles you select can make a difference to how a door looks.
Door hardware is the collective name for all the door furniture items that make up the essential part of any functioning door…this includes things like door hinges, door seals, door openers, door closers, flush bolts, panic bolts, door handles, door stops and so much more. If you are looking for any door furniture at all, here at Barwon Timber we either have it in stock, or can get it in for you.
Door handing is the way and direction the door swings, usually outwards or inwards. This needs to be considered when thinking about your door furniture. No one wants to end up with a handle or lock on the wrong side of the door or even upside-down.
Please use a water-dampened, soft cloth to remove any fingerprints or smudges. A mild soap solution applied with a soft cloth will remove oil or accumulated dust build-up.
Never use solvent or abrasive cleaners on any door handle components as this will destroy the protective clear coat finish and will void your warranty.
Avoid any product that can remove tarnish and rust or that contains acids or caustic cleaning agents, as these will destroy your door furniture.
A double cylinder deadbolt is one that is locked and unlocked by a key, both inside and outside. When the deadbolt is locked from either side, it is locked on both sides. The double cylinder deadbolt sacrifices some ease of use for a higher degree of security.
A single cylinder deadbolt is one that is locked and unlocked by a key on the outside, but that has a turn snib or button on the inside. When the turn snib is used on the inside, the door is locked from the outside. And you only need a key to unlock the outside, the turn snib or button is used to unlock the door from the inside. This is very convenient, but less secure than a double cylinder deadbolt.
A privacy set is normally used for toilets and bathrooms where, by using a turn snib or button, you can lock the door from the inside to maintain your privacy. All privacy door sets have a means to undo the privacy lock in case of emergency. Some customers also use privacy sets for bedroom doors.
A passage set is used where a door can be closed and secured but doesn’t need to be locked. It can be used for pantries and general-purpose rooms, like the kitchen, the laundry or for a family room.
A dummy set is a half handle set that is used on cupboards or wardrobes and is non-functional. It is designed to look exactly the same as your other door furniture.
An entrance set is designed to secure your external doors and is more robust in its construction. It is designed to be locked and unlocked from the outside and usually incorporates both snibbing and locking on the inside. As well as security, it can withstand the elements.
Whether you need a privacy, deadbolt or entrance set, we can help. Just speak to one of our friendly staff members about what you need.
