Premium Gate Hardware for Residential and Commercial Projects
From contemporary homes in Brisbane to high-traffic sites across Queensland and New South Wales, the right gate hardware is essential for safety, security and everyday ease of use. Our carefully selected range includes trusted brands like Lockwood and Dormakaba for security-focused solutions, along with stylish architectural hardware options from Barben and Zanda for projects where visual impact matters just as much as performance.
Whether you are a builder, architect, installer, facility manager or homeowner, you’ll find gate hardware suitable for both residential and commercial applications. Many products are designed to complement broader architectural door hardware ranges, ensuring your gates, doors and entries share a consistent, modern and professional look across the entire property.
Gate Hardware Built for Australian Conditions
Outdoor hardware must withstand rain, sun, coastal air and everyday wear. Our selection of gate hardware for Australia is sourced with durability and reliability in mind. Hardware is generally available in robust finishes like stainless steel, galvanised steel, powder-coated and high-quality plated options suited to external environments. This means you can choose hardware that not only looks premium but is also designed for long-term performance on exposed front, side and rear gates.
For properties in coastal or high-moisture environments throughout Queensland and New South Wales, stainless steel and other corrosion-resistant finishes are ideal. For contemporary homes and architectural projects, popular options such as matte black and brushed or polished stainless finishes allow you to match your gate hardware with other exterior fittings and fixtures.
Stylish Architectural Gate Hardware
If you are working on a modern or contemporary architectural project, gate hardware is a visible part of the overall design. Brands such as Barben and Zanda offer clean lines, minimalist styling and on-trend finishes that complement premium front doors, entry handles and other architectural door hardware throughout the property. Matching your gate latch, handle and hinges to the rest of your hardware helps create a cohesive, high-end look from street front to backyard.
Lockwood and Dormakaba provide a wide range of security and access solutions that blend seamlessly with architectural styles, making them ideal for premium residential properties and commercial sites alike. Pairing stylish gate hardware with robust locking systems allows you to achieve both visual appeal and strong perimeter security.
Gate Hardware for a Wide Range of Applications
Every gate is different, and our category is designed to support many different use cases around the home, business or facility. Typical applications include:
- Front gates and pedestrian side gates
- Driveway gates and sliding gates
- Pool and garden gates
- Security and perimeter fencing gates
- Commercial, industrial and strata access gates
Whether you need simple latching solutions for a backyard gate or more sophisticated locking hardware for restricted access areas, you can buy gate hardware online from John Barnes Group that suits the specific performance and security needs of each opening.
Finishes and Styles to Match Any Design
Gate hardware needs to work hard, but it should also complement the style of your property. Our range includes options in modern matte black for contemporary homes, classic stainless steel for timeless appeal, and brass-look finishes for more traditional or heritage-inspired projects. With brands like Barben, Zanda, Lockwood and Dormakaba available, it’s easy to coordinate your gate hardware with your existing handles, door levers, deadbolts and other fittings.
From subtle, low-profile latches through to bold architectural statements, you can choose hardware that either blends into the background or becomes a feature in its own right. This flexibility is ideal for architects, designers and homeowners who want every detail to match their vision.
Easy, Practical and Secure Operation
Good gate hardware should make everyday life easier. Smooth, reliable hinges, well-designed latches and user-friendly locking mechanisms help ensure your gates open and close effortlessly, even with frequent use. For busy households and commercial sites, choosing robust hardware from trusted brands like Lockwood and Dormakaba can reduce maintenance issues and improve overall security.
Many products within this category are compatible with wider security and access control systems, making it easier to coordinate your gate hardware with locks and door hardware used on the rest of the building. This is particularly valuable for commercial and multi-residential properties where consistent access control is essential.

General Guidance on Installation and Selection
Gate hardware should always be selected and installed with the specific gate construction, weight and usage in mind. Heavier or larger gates often require more robust hinges and latching hardware, while pool and safety gates may have additional functional requirements. In many cases, matching your gate hinges, latch and lock to the gate material (steel, timber, aluminium, etc.) will help ensure reliable performance and a clean finish.
Installation should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and we recommend engaging a qualified tradesperson or installer where necessary, particularly for security-sensitive or commercial applications. This helps ensure your gate hardware works as intended and contributes to the overall safety and performance of your property.

In many cases, yes. Because we stock key brands like Barben, Zanda, Lockwood and Dormakaba, you can often find gate latches, locks and hinges that coordinate with the same brand’s architectural door hardware ranges. This makes it easier to create a consistent look across your front door, internal doors and external gates, particularly when you are aiming for a modern or premium architectural finish.

John Barnes Group supports both residential and commercial projects, including industrial and high-traffic sites.
