Whether you’re fitting out a new build, refreshing a single room or managing a large commercial project, choosing the right door handles makes a huge difference to how a space looks and functions. Our range covers everything from entrance door handles and passage sets to privacy handles and commercial lever sets, with options to suit timber, aluminium and other common door types used throughout Australia.

With a wide selection of finishes such as matte black, stainless steel and brass, it’s easy to coordinate your door handles with hinges, locks and other architectural door hardware to create a cohesive look throughout your property. Many products from brands like Lockwood, Barben, Dormakaba and Zanda are designed to pair with matching accessories, helping you achieve a clean, professional finish.

Front Door Handles That Make an Entrance

Your front door handle sets the tone for the rest of your home or building. We offer entrance door handles that combine style, security and durability, including robust pull handles, lever-on-plate sets and contemporary square or round rose designs. Choose from sleek matte black for a bold architectural statement, brushed stainless steel for modern minimalism, or warm brass tones for a more classic or heritage-inspired façade.

Premium brands such as Barben and Zanda specialise in modern entrance sets that complement contemporary Australian architecture, while Lockwood and Dormakaba provide proven solutions for residential and commercial front doors where reliability, security and long-term performance are essential.

Internal Door Handles for Everyday Comfort

Internal door handles should feel comfortable, operate smoothly and suit the style of each room. Our range includes passage door handles for living areas and hallways, privacy sets for bedrooms and bathrooms, and non-locking options for wardrobes or utility spaces. Lever door handles are a popular choice for both residential and commercial projects across Brisbane, Queensland and New South Wales thanks to their ease of use and accessibility.

Whether you prefer rounded levers, straight bar designs or soft-edged contemporary styles, you’ll find options in finishes like matte black, satin chrome, brushed nickel and brass tones to match your interior palette. Zanda and Barben offer striking contemporary levers, while Dormakaba and Lockwood deliver dependable everyday door hardware trusted throughout Australia.

External and Commercial Door Handles Built to Last

External doors and commercial environments demand door handles that can withstand frequent use and, in many cases, exposure to the elements. For these applications, stainless steel door handles and high-grade finishes are a smart choice, especially in coastal regions of Queensland and New South Wales where corrosion resistance is important.

Our selection includes sturdy commercial lever sets, plate furniture and pull handles from Dormakaba and Lockwood, engineered for high-traffic areas such as offices, retail tenancies, schools and healthcare facilities. When you buy door handles online from John Barnes Group for commercial projects, you can choose styles that align with your architectural brief without compromising on performance or durability.

Architectural Door Hardware to Match Your Style

Door handles are one of the most visible pieces of architectural door hardware in any space, so it’s worth selecting designs that enhance your overall look. Whether your project is modern, industrial, coastal or classic, our door handle range makes it easy to create a consistent design story from the front door through to every internal room.

Modern and Contemporary Door Handle Designs

For modern and contemporary homes and commercial fit-outs, clean lines and minimalist detailing are key. Brands like Barben and Zanda offer premium lever designs with slim roses, square edges and subtle curves that complement architectural doors, feature entryways and sleek joinery. Matte black and satin stainless steel are particularly popular in new builds and renovations throughout Brisbane and greater Queensland.

If you’re working on a more commercial or industrial-style project, Dormakaba and Lockwood provide a wide range of contemporary levers and plates that balance aesthetics with heavy-duty performance, ideal for apartment entries, office corridors and public buildings Australia-wide.

Finishes to Tie Your Hardware Together

Choosing the right finish for your door handles is just as important as selecting the shape. Our door handles are available in a variety of finishes, including matte black, satin chrome, polished stainless steel, brushed stainless, brass and other popular tones. This allows you to coordinate your handles with hinges, door closers, locks, escutcheons and other architectural hardware for a cohesive, designer-level result.

Brass and brass-look finishes bring warmth and a touch of luxury, perfect for classic homes or character renovations in Brisbane and New South Wales. Matte black remains a go-to choice for contemporary interiors, while stainless steel is widely used across Australia for its timeless look and low-maintenance performance.

How to Choose the Right Door Handle

With so many options available, it’s helpful to consider how each door will be used before you buy door handles online. Function, style, finish and compatibility with your existing locks or latches all play a role in creating the right solution for each doorway.

Handle Functions and Door Applications

Different doors require different functions. Common options include passage handles (non-locking, ideal for general internal doors), privacy handles (with integrated privacy locking, often used for bathrooms and bedrooms), and entrance sets (suited to exterior doors where additional security hardware may be used). Commercial settings may require specific lever designs, plate furniture or disabled-compliant configurations, especially in public-access buildings across Queensland and New South Wales.

Brands like Lockwood and Dormakaba offer compatible ranges of levers, latches and locking hardware, helping you to build a complete, functional solution tailored to each door in your project.

Installation and Compatibility Considerations

Before selecting your door handles, it’s important to confirm basics such as door thickness, handing (left or right), latch or lock type, and whether you prefer a round or square rose or a long plate design. Most residential installations are straightforward, and many products are designed for retrofit onto standard Australian doors.

If you’re updating existing hardware, consider choosing from ranges by Zanda, Barben, Lockwood or Dormakaba that offer multiple configurations within the same design family. This makes it easier to match front door handles, internal levers and external sets while maintaining consistent style across your entire home or building.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of door handle do I need for bedrooms and bathrooms?

Bedrooms and bathrooms typically use privacy door handles, which feature a simple locking function for added privacy without needing a separate key. These handles are available in the same designs and finishes as standard passage handles, so you can keep a consistent look throughout your home or project. Many ranges from brands like Zanda, Barben, Lockwood and Dormakaba offer both passage and privacy options to suit internal doors in residential and commercial spaces.

Can I use the same door handles on internal and external doors?

Some designs are suitable for both internal and external doors, but external doors generally require more robust construction and compatibility with security locks or deadbolts. For front doors and other external doors, look for entrance-rated handles or lever sets designed to work with your chosen lockset. Internal passage and privacy handles are usually lighter-duty, optimised for comfort and frequent use inside the building. If in doubt, it’s best to choose ranges specifically recommended for external applications.

Are your door handles suitable for coastal or humid environments?

In coastal areas and humid climates, such as many parts of Queensland and New South Wales, stainless steel and high-quality plated finishes are often recommended due to their enhanced corrosion resistance. Many Dormakaba, Lockwood, Barben and Zanda products are available in stainless steel or durable finishes designed for long-term use in Australian conditions. Always check product details and consider opting for stainless or similar finishes if your project is in a coastal or exposed location.

Do door handles come with latches and other hardware included?

Some door handle sets are supplied as complete kits with the latch, spindle and fixings included, while others are sold as separate components so you can mix and match to suit your hardware schedule. When you buy door handles online through John Barnes Group, product descriptions will indicate whether latches or locks are included or need to be ordered separately. This flexibility allows you to pair handles with specific latches, privacy bolts or mortice locks as required for residential or commercial projects.

How do I choose between matte black, stainless steel and brass finishes?

The best finish depends on the overall style of your project and how much maintenance you’re comfortable with. Matte black door handles are popular in modern and contemporary interiors and pair well with minimalist architectural door hardware. Stainless steel is a versatile, durable option that suits both residential and commercial environments across Australia. Brass and brass-look finishes add warmth and character, making them ideal for classic homes or premium fit-outs. Many customers choose one main finish and carry it through the entire property for a cohesive look.

Are these door handles compatible with Australian standards and typical local doors?

Our door handle ranges are selected with Australian building practices and common door constructions in mind. Most products are designed to suit standard Australian door thicknesses and typical preparation methods used in residential and commercial projects across Brisbane, Queensland, New South Wales and other regions. Where necessary, product specifications will outline any special requirements, allowing you or your installer to choose suitable hardware confidently.

Yes.
