Explore Our Range of Door Handles

Choosing the right door handle involves more than selecting a finish. Different doors require specific handle designs, fixing arrangements and operating functions. Our extensive range of architectural door handles brings together solutions for hinged doors, sliding doors, cavity doors, entrance doors, cabinetry and specialised environments.

Anti-Ligature Furniture

Anti-ligature door furniture is designed for specialist environments where reducing potential ligature attachment points is an important safety consideration. Commonly used in mental health facilities, healthcare settings, supervised accommodation and other high-risk environments, these products feature carefully considered shapes and configurations to help minimise identified hazards. Selection should always reflect the specific facility's risk assessment, door function and safety requirements. Our anti-ligature furniture category supports specialised door hardware applications where safety, durability and practical operation are essential.

Cabinet Handles

Cabinet handles provide the finishing touch for cupboards, drawers, wardrobes, storage units and custom joinery. Available in a variety of styles, sizes and finishes, cabinet pulls can complement both traditional and contemporary interior designs. From sleek, minimalist handles for modern kitchens to stylish pulls for commercial cabinetry, these products combine convenient everyday access with visual appeal. Premium architectural hardware from brands such as Zanda and Barben can help achieve a coordinated appearance across cabinetry, internal doors and surrounding fixtures.

D Pulls

D pull handles are a versatile choice for residential and commercial doors, offering a comfortable grip and a clean architectural appearance. Commonly used on entrance doors, glass doors, aluminium framed doors, timber doors and commercial access points, D pulls are available in different lengths, profiles and finishes. Stainless steel D pulls are particularly popular for modern commercial applications, while matte black options complement contemporary architectural designs. Selecting the correct size, mounting arrangement and projection helps ensure comfortable and reliable operation.

Edge Pulls

Edge pulls offer a discreet solution for sliding doors, cavity sliders and other applications where traditional projecting handles may not be suitable. Installed at the door edge, these compact fittings provide a convenient grip for retrieving or operating a door from a recessed position. Edge pulls are commonly paired with flush pulls to create a streamlined sliding door hardware arrangement. Their minimal appearance makes them particularly suitable for modern residential interiors, offices and architectural spaces where clean lines are a priority.

Entrance Handles

Entrance handles create an important first impression while providing practical access to residential and commercial buildings. Whether you're choosing hardware for a front door, apartment entrance, office, retail tenancy or hospitality venue, the right entrance handle combines visual appeal with everyday functionality. Options range from contemporary pull handles to more traditional entrance furniture, with designs suited to different locking and latching arrangements. Lockwood and Dormakaba offer established door hardware solutions for functional entry applications, while architectural selections from Zanda and Barben can complement premium entrance designs.

Flush Pulls

Flush pulls are designed to sit within the door surface, providing a recessed gripping point without the projection of a conventional handle. Popular for sliding doors, cavity doors, wardrobes and internal partitions, flush pull handles offer a neat, space-saving solution for contemporary interiors. They are particularly useful where doors slide into wall cavities or where protruding hardware could interfere with adjacent surfaces. Available designs can complement timber, aluminium and other compatible door constructions, with finishes selected to match surrounding hardware.

Foot Operated Pulls

Foot operated door pulls provide an alternative way to open suitable doors without using hands. Often installed in commercial amenities, workplaces, hospitality areas and shared facilities, these practical accessories can help reduce unnecessary hand contact with door handles. Foot operated pulls are particularly useful where hygiene and convenience are priorities, provided the door configuration allows safe and practical operation. They can complement conventional door hardware without replacing the need for suitable accessible entry arrangements.

Plate Furniture

Plate furniture features door handles mounted on elongated backplates, offering a practical and attractive solution for internal and external doors. Lever-on-plate furniture is commonly used in residential homes, commercial buildings, schools, offices and other high-use environments. Depending on the configuration, backplates may incorporate keyholes, cylinder openings or privacy functions to suit the door's locking requirements. Lockwood door furniture is a familiar choice for functional commercial applications, while other architectural ranges provide traditional and contemporary options for coordinated interiors.

Push & Pull Plates

Push and pull plates provide a durable contact surface for doors that are opened without conventional lever handles. Commonly installed on commercial swing doors, corridors, kitchens, healthcare facilities and public buildings, these fittings help protect door surfaces from repeated handling and everyday wear. Push plates provide a designated pushing surface, while pull plates may incorporate a grip or handle depending on their design. Stainless steel is a popular finish for practical commercial applications, with other finishes available to complement architectural interiors.

Rose Furniture

Rose furniture is a popular choice for modern internal and external doors, featuring lever handles mounted on compact round or square roses. Unlike traditional long-plate furniture, lever-on-rose handles create a streamlined appearance that works particularly well in contemporary homes, apartments, offices and commercial fitouts. Options may include passage, privacy and entrance functions, depending on the handle and compatible latch or lock. Zanda and Barben offer design-focused architectural hardware options, while Lockwood and Dormakaba are established names for functional door hardware applications.

Door Handles for Residential and Commercial Applications

Residential Door Handles

Choosing door handles for your home involves balancing style, convenience and functionality. Internal bedroom and living area doors often benefit from comfortable lever furniture, while bathrooms and powder rooms may require privacy functions. Entrance doors typically need handles that work with the selected locking arrangement, and sliding doors often use flush pulls or edge pulls. Coordinating finishes throughout a home creates a cohesive appearance, particularly when matching door handles with cabinetry, hinges and other visible fittings.

Commercial and High-Traffic Door Handles

Commercial door handles must accommodate frequent operation while supporting the functional requirements of the building. Offices, retail premises, healthcare facilities, schools, hospitality venues and industrial workplaces may require different handle configurations depending on traffic, security and accessibility needs. Durable lever furniture, D pulls, entrance handles and push plates are common commercial selections. Products from Lockwood and Dormakaba can be considered alongside other architectural hardware to develop coordinated door hardware arrangements for demanding environments.

Architectural and Premium Door Handles

Architectural door handles contribute significantly to the overall presentation of a building. From statement entrance pulls to understated lever-on-rose furniture, carefully selected handles help define the character of a space. Contemporary hardware from Zanda and Barben can complement modern residential developments, boutique hospitality venues and premium commercial interiors. Combining suitable handle proportions, comfortable grip designs and coordinated finishes creates an attractive result without compromising practical usability.

Choosing the Right Door Handles for Your Project

When shopping for door handles online in Australia, consider the door type, intended function, level of use and compatibility with the existing hardware. Hinged doors may require lever furniture or pull handles, while cavity sliding doors generally benefit from recessed or edge-mounted pulls. Entrance doors should have suitable locking arrangements, and commercial openings may have additional accessibility, fire safety or emergency exit requirements.

Check relevant measurements before ordering, including door thickness, fixing centres, handle projection, backplate dimensions and compatibility with locks or latches. For replacement door handles, confirming the existing door preparation can help avoid unnecessary modifications. Commercial and specialist applications should also be assessed against applicable project requirements.

Popular Door Handle Finishes and Styles

Door handle finishes play an important role in achieving a consistent interior or exterior design. Matte black door handles are a popular choice for contemporary homes, offices and modern architectural spaces. Stainless steel handles offer a clean, versatile appearance and are widely used in residential and commercial environments. Satin chrome and polished chrome provide classic metallic finishes, while brass, brushed brass and other warm-toned finishes can add character to premium interiors.

When choosing finishes, consider surrounding door hardware, cabinetry, lighting fixtures and the door material itself. Timber doors can complement both traditional and contemporary furniture, while aluminium framed glass doors often suit streamlined pulls and modern lever designs. Select materials and finishes appropriate for the intended location, particularly for exposed external doors or environments where frequent cleaning is required.

What is the difference between rose furniture and plate furniture?

Both styles are suitable for a variety of internal and external door applications, depending on the product configuration.

What door handles are best for sliding doors?

Flush pulls and edge pulls are popular choices for sliding doors and cavity sliders. Flush pulls provide a recessed grip on the door face, while edge pulls make it easier to retrieve a door from within a cavity. Selecting compatible fittings helps maintain smooth operation without unnecessary handle projection.

Are D pull handles suitable for entrance doors?

Yes. D pull handles are commonly used on residential front doors, commercial entrances, glass doors and aluminium framed doors. They provide a practical gripping surface and are available in various sizes and finishes. The selected pull should be compatible with the door's construction and locking arrangement.

What are anti-ligature door handles used for?

Anti-ligature door furniture is designed for specialist environments where reducing potential ligature attachment points is important. These products may be used in mental health, healthcare and supervised facilities. Selection should be based on a professional risk assessment and the specific requirements of the environment.

What finishes are popular for modern door handles?

Matte black, stainless steel, satin chrome, polished chrome and brushed brass are popular choices for modern door handles. The ideal finish depends on the surrounding interior design, door material, exposure conditions and intended application.

Can I use the same door handles throughout my home?

Are commercial door handles different from residential handles?

Residential handles may place greater emphasis on decorative styling, although many architectural designs are suitable for both applications when correctly specified.
