Where Strikes & Rebate Kits Are Used

Front Entry and External Doors

Front doors and external entries demand a precise, reliable strike so the lock engages properly every time the door is closed. A quality strike plate supports the lock body, helps protect the door frame from wear and improves security by providing a strong, correctly aligned recess for the latch or bolt. On external doors in Brisbane, coastal Queensland or New South Wales, pairing a robust lock with a suitable strike plate and accessories is essential for long-term performance in changing weather conditions.

Internal Doors and Corridor Doors

Internal doors may not always be locked, but they still benefit from the right strikes and accessories. A well-chosen strike ensures passage sets latch smoothly, reduces rattling doors and minimises damage to frames in high-use corridors. In offices, apartments, hotels and homes, matching the correct strike and faceplate to your Lockwood, Zanda, Dormakaba or Barben latch keeps doors feeling solid and quiet, contributing to a more comfortable and professional environment.

Rebated Double Doors and Pairs

Rebate kits are designed for rebated door pairs, where one leaf overlaps the other. Without the correct rebate kit and strike configuration, your lock or latch may not line up correctly, leading to poor operation and reduced security. Rebate kits ensure that mortice locks and latches sit at the correct depth and angle to engage smoothly on double doors, whether they’re part of a residential entry, a commercial corridor or an architectural feature set within a contemporary fitout.

Commercial and High-Traffic Applications

In schools, hospitals, offices and industrial facilities, doors often see hundreds or thousands of cycles a day. Here, the strike and accessory choice is critical. Heavy-duty strikes, reinforced lip designs and compatible accessories help protect the door frame, maintain alignment and reduce maintenance callouts. When paired with dependable hardware from brands such as Dormakaba and Lockwood, the right strike setup can significantly extend the life of the door and lockset in busy commercial environments throughout Queensland, New South Wales and beyond.

Retrofit, Maintenance and Upgrade Projects

Not every project starts from scratch. When you’re upgrading older doors, replacing damaged frames or standardising hardware across a site, a flexible selection of strikes and lock accessories is invaluable. Retrofit strikes and adjustable options can help compensate for movement in existing frames, small misalignments or changes in door hardware. This makes it easier to bring older properties up to modern standards without rebuilding the entire opening.

Finishes, Styles and Compatibility

Strikes and lock accessories might be small, but they still contribute to the overall look of your door hardware. To complement modern, contemporary and premium architectural door hardware, you’ll find options in popular finishes such as matte black, stainless steel, polished or satin chrome and brass-toned finishes. This means you can match accessories to your preferred Barben, Zanda, Dormakaba or Lockwood lever sets, entrance handles and mortice locks for a cohesive look across front doors, internal doors and external entries.

Because every project is different, many strikes and accessories are designed with specific lock bodies and latch types in mind. Checking compatibility helps ensure smooth installation and trouble-free operation. If you’re coordinating hardware across multiple levels or sites in Brisbane, greater Queensland or interstate, choosing a consistent brand family often simplifies your selection of strikes, rebate kits and supporting accessories.

Designed for Australian Conditions

From humid coastal regions to hot inland areas, door hardware in Australia needs to cope with tough conditions. Many of the strikes, rebate kits and lock accessories in this category are manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel or durable plated metals, making them a smart choice for external doors, coastal homes and commercial buildings. When you’re specifying hardware for projects in Brisbane or regional Queensland, it’s worth choosing finishes and materials that can handle local conditions while still looking sharp over time.

Across New South Wales and Australia-wide, building and safety regulations also influence hardware choices. While specific compliance details vary by product, selecting reputable brands such as Dormakaba, Lockwood, Zanda and Barben helps give confidence that your architectural door hardware is designed with relevant standards in mind. For fire-rated or specialised applications, always refer to the door leaf label and relevant technical documentation, and consult your fire door professional where required.

Choosing the Right Strike or Rebate Kit

Selecting the right strike or lock accessory is easier when you know what to look for. Start with the type of lock or latch you are using: tubular latches, mortice locks, deadlocks and privacy sets may each require a specific strike shape and lip design. Matching the accessory to the hardware brand and model (for example, a compatible strike for a specific Lockwood or Dormakaba lock) helps ensure a neat, accurate fit.

Next, consider the door construction and frame material. Timber jambs, steel frames and aluminium frames can all have different profiles, so the strike depth and fixing points may vary. For rebated double doors, make sure you select a rebate kit that suits both the lock body and the rebate size. Where doors need to swing freely in high-traffic or accessible areas, pay attention to strike lip design to reduce sharp edges and improve ease of use.

Finish and style are also important, especially on visible front doors and external entries. Choosing strikes and accessories in matching or complementary finishes (matte black, stainless steel, brass and chrome tones) helps deliver a cohesive, premium look that ties in with handles, hinges and cylinders across the project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a door strike and why is it important?

A door strike is the metal plate fitted to the door frame that the latch or bolt engages with when the door is closed. It reinforces the frame, guides the latch into position and helps the door close securely. The right strike improves security, reduces wear on the lockset and helps prevent rattling or misaligned doors, which is especially important on frequently used front doors and commercial entry doors.

When do I need a rebate kit for my door lock?

You need a rebate kit when you’re installing a lock into a rebated pair of doors, where one leaf overlaps the other. The rebate kit adjusts the lock and strike so they sit correctly within the stepped meeting stile, allowing the latch or bolt to engage smoothly. Without the correct rebate kit, the lock may not line up properly and the doors may not close or lock as intended.

Are these strikes and accessories suitable for external or coastal doors?

Many of the strikes and lock accessories in this category are available in durable, corrosion-resistant finishes such as stainless steel or high-quality plated metals, making them suitable for front doors and external entries. For coastal or exposed environments in Brisbane, Queensland or New South Wales, choosing stainless steel or other weather-resistant finishes is recommended to maximise longevity and maintain appearance.

Can I install strikes and rebate kits myself, or do I need a professional?

Basic strike replacements and straightforward lock accessory swaps can often be handled by confident DIYers with the right tools, especially on standard internal doors. However, for mortice locks, rebated door pairs, fire-rated doors or commercial openings, it’s usually best to engage a licensed locksmith or qualified installer. They can ensure the hardware is fitted accurately, operates smoothly and meets any relevant building or fire requirements.

Will these strikes work with my existing Lockwood, Dormakaba, Barben or Zanda locks?

Many strikes and lock accessories are designed to suit specific lock bodies and brands, including popular ranges from Lockwood, Dormakaba, Barben and Zanda. When selecting products, check the compatibility information and product descriptions to confirm they are suitable for your existing hardware. If you’re standardising across a new project, choosing accessories from the same brand family as your locks and levers often simplifies selection.

What finishes are available to match my door hardware?

You’ll find strikes, faceplates and accessories in a range of finishes to coordinate with modern and traditional door hardware. Popular options include matte black for contemporary interiors, stainless steel for a clean, architectural look, and various chrome and brass tones for classic or premium designs. Matching finishes across hinges, handles, strikes and locks helps create a cohesive, high-end look throughout your home or commercial fitout.

Can I buy strikes and lock accessories online for delivery outside Brisbane?

Yes, you can buy strikes, rebate kits and a wide range of lock accessories online and have them delivered across Queensland, New South Wales and Australia-wide. Shopping online makes it easy to specify hardware for multi-site projects, regional builds or interstate fitouts, while still accessing the same trusted brands and technical support you’d expect in person.

What’s the difference between a standard strike and an electric strike?

A standard strike is a fixed metal plate that works with a mechanical lock or latch, while an electric strike incorporates an electromechanical release to allow remote or access-controlled entry. This category focuses primarily on mechanical strikes and accessories. If you require electric strikes for access control systems, it’s important to select products that match your locking hardware and consult a security or electrical professional for installation.
