Internal doors are just as important. Our range includes privacy and passage locks ideal for bathrooms, bedrooms, offices and meeting rooms.

Residential & Commercial Locking Solutions

John Barnes Group supports projects of all sizes across Brisbane, Queensland, New South Wales and Australia-wide. Our locks are used every day in single homes, multi-residential developments, schools, hospitals, retail centres and large commercial buildings.

For residential projects, we stock front door locks and deadbolts that deliver a strong combination of security and style. Choose from keyed entrance sets, double-cylinder deadbolts and privacy snibs that work beautifully with modern, contemporary or traditional door hardware. Many solutions are specifically curated for Australian doors, making it easier to achieve the right function, handing and backset without compromise.

For commercial and industrial applications, our offering includes heavy-duty locks designed for high-traffic environments. Think robust mortice locks and commercial-grade latch and deadlatch options suitable for offices, educational facilities and healthcare environments. Brands such as Dormakaba and Lockwood are well regarded in commercial specifications for their reliability, compatibility with access control systems and compliance with relevant Australian standards when installed as part of a compliant door set.

Architectural Door Hardware to Match Your Vision

Locks are a key part of your architectural door hardware package. The right choice enhances the overall look and feel of your project while providing the security and functionality you need every day.

Barben offers stylish, architecturally-led lock solutions that complement their premium levers and pull handles, ideal for high-end residential and boutique commercial spaces where design detail matters. Lockwood brings decades of experience in Australian conditions, delivering dependable locks for both internal and external doors, from simple passage functions to advanced commercial mortice locks.

Zanda focuses on contemporary styles and popular finishes such as matte black, brushed nickel and satin brass, helping you create a cohesive look across every door.

By sourcing locks from these trusted brands, John Barnes Group gives you the flexibility to mix and match styles, finishes and functions while staying within a consistent quality and design standard.

Finishes & Styles to Suit Every Door

The finish of your lock has a major impact on the overall appearance of your door. Our range makes it easy to coordinate your locks with matching door levers, pulls, hinges and accessories.

Matte black locks are a popular choice for modern and industrial-inspired interiors, especially when paired with black levers, pulls and cabinet hardware. Stainless steel and satin chrome finishes suit contemporary commercial spaces and coastal or high-use environments where durability and easy maintenance are important. For a warmer, more classic feel, brass and brushed brass finishes work beautifully with timber doors and heritage-style homes or boutique hospitality projects.

Whether you are fitting out a new build or updating a single front door, you can buy locks online in the finish and style that best suits your project, knowing you are choosing from high-quality, specification-friendly options.

Choosing the Right Lock for Your Application

Selecting the right lock is about more than just style. The function, handing and security level all need to be considered to ensure the lock performs as expected.

Front and External Doors

For front doors and other external entries, look for locks that offer strong security and weather resistance. This may include a combination of a keyed entrance lock and a deadbolt, or a commercial-style mortice lock with a separate handle and cylinder. When pairing with Barben, Lockwood, Dormakaba or Zanda door hardware, check compatibility for cylinder type, backset and door thickness to ensure a seamless fit.

Internal & Privacy Doors

For bathrooms, bedrooms and internal offices, privacy locks and passage sets are typically sufficient. Privacy locks allow the door to be locked from the inside with a snib or turn, while still allowing emergency access from the outside. Passage sets provide a latch without a locking function, ideal for hallways, wardrobes or areas where free movement is required.

Commercial & High-Traffic Zones

In commercial and high-traffic environments, durability and compliance are key. Consider commercial mortice locks or heavy-duty latch locks that are designed for frequent use and integration with door closers, exit devices or access control systems. Dormakaba and Lockwood offer a wide range of hardware tailored to these demanding applications.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

Most locks in this category are designed for standard Australian door preparations, making installation straightforward for experienced trades and maintenance teams. For new doors, it is important to confirm door thickness, backset, handing and latch type before ordering so your locks install cleanly without additional modifications.

To get the best service life from your locks, simple maintenance is recommended. Regularly check fixings for tightness, avoid using harsh cleaners on finishes, and follow manufacturer recommendations for lubrication of internal mechanisms and cylinders. In coastal or high-humidity areas of Queensland and New South Wales, choosing corrosion-resistant finishes such as stainless steel or suitable plated options can help maintain appearance and performance over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy front door locks online for delivery outside Brisbane?

Yes. John Barnes Group supplies locks Australia-wide, not just within Brisbane. You can order front door, internal and commercial locks online and have them delivered to locations across Queensland, New South Wales and other states, subject to standard shipping arrangements.

Which brands of locks do you stock?

Our locks range includes trusted brands such as Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda, among others. These manufacturers are widely used in both residential and commercial projects throughout Australia and offer a strong balance of design, durability and compatibility with local door and frame systems.

What type of lock is best for my main entrance door?

For most front doors, a combination of a keyed entrance lock and a deadbolt or a high-quality mortice lock provides excellent security and everyday usability. The right choice depends on your door construction, desired handle style and any existing hardware. Many customers pair a Lockwood or Dormakaba locking solution with Barben or Zanda levers and pulls to achieve both security and a cohesive architectural look.

Do your locks suit both residential and commercial projects?

Yes. Our range covers everything from standard residential entrance and privacy locks through to commercial-grade mortice and latch locks. Whether you are fitting out a single home, a multi-unit development, an office floor or a specialist facility, you can source suitable locks from the same trusted suppliers and streamline your hardware package.

Are matte black and brass finishes durable enough for external doors?

Modern matte black and brass finishes are designed to be durable when used and maintained correctly. For external doors exposed to harsh weather or coastal conditions, we recommend selecting products specifically rated for external use and following the manufacturer’s care instructions. Stainless steel and certain plated finishes may be preferable in particularly demanding environments.

Can I match my locks to existing door handles and hardware?

In many cases, yes. Brands like Barben, Lockwood, Dormakaba and Zanda offer coordinated ranges, so you can match your locks with levers, pull handles, hinges and accessories in the same finish. When in doubt, compare product specifications for finish, function and backset, or consult your project documentation to ensure compatibility.

Do I need a specialist to install these locks?

While some straightforward lock replacements can be handled by experienced DIYers, we generally recommend using a qualified installer or locksmith for best results, especially on fire-rated, commercial or access-controlled doors. Correct installation helps ensure smooth operation, optimised security and compliance with relevant building and safety requirements.

Can I use these locks as part of an access control or master key system?

Many commercial locks from brands such as Dormakaba and Lockwood can be integrated into broader access control and master key systems when paired with compatible cylinders, keying and electronic components. For complex projects, it’s best to plan your hardware, locking and keying strategy early to ensure all components work together as intended.
