Electronic Door Hardware for Residential and Commercial Projects

Smart access for front doors and main entries

Front doors set the tone for any property — and electronic hardware allows you to combine strong security with everyday convenience. From electronic locks that integrate with access control systems to components that support smart entry sets, this category includes solutions ideal for apartments, townhouses, gated entries and single residences, as well as multi-residential developments.

Architects, builders and locksmiths across Brisbane and wider Queensland increasingly rely on electronic hardware for front doors and common-area entries. The ability to manage access without constantly cutting keys, plus the option to audit or adjust permissions, makes electronic door hardware a practical choice for modern living.

Reliable hardware for high-traffic commercial doors

Commercial environments demand electronic hardware that stands up to frequent use while maintaining consistent performance. Our range includes components suitable for offices, health and education facilities, hospitality venues and industrial sites. When paired with locking systems from brands such as Dormakaba and Lockwood, electronic strikes, power supplies and accessories help create dependable door solutions that integrate smoothly with wider site security.

From internal corridor doors and staff entries to external perimeter doors and back-of-house access, electronic hardware allows facilities managers to standardise their approach to access control while still tailoring permissions to specific zones or teams.

Multi-site and Australia-wide project support

If you manage multiple properties across Queensland, New South Wales or Australia-wide, choosing consistent electronic door hardware can make ongoing maintenance and upgrades easier. Standardising on compatible products means less complexity for installers and service technicians, and a smoother experience for people using the doors every day.

Designed for Australian Conditions

Durable components for internal and external doors

Electronic hardware on external doors must cope with changing weather, frequent use and sometimes harsh conditions. Products in this category are selected with Australian environments in mind, suitable for use on many front doors and external access points when installed and maintained correctly. For internal doors, you’ll find hardware that supports everything from secure offices and storerooms to restricted plant rooms and lift lobbies.

Across Brisbane and coastal Queensland in particular, corrosion resistance and robust construction are key considerations. Many items in this category are designed for long-term performance when installed in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and relevant Australian standards.

Integration with wider security and access systems

Modern buildings often combine electronic door hardware with alarms, CCTV, intercoms and central access control platforms. Our electronic hardware is chosen with compatibility in mind, allowing locksmiths, security integrators and electrical contractors to create cohesive solutions. When paired with quality architectural door hardware from Barben, Zanda, Dormakaba or Lockwood, you can deliver doors that look premium and operate smoothly, while being controlled electronically in the background.

Finishes and Styles to Suit Any Door

Architectural hardware that complements your design

Electronic components don’t have to compromise the look of a door. Many of the locks, trims and accessories that work alongside the products in this category are available in popular finishes such as matte black, stainless steel, brushed nickel and brass tones. This allows you to coordinate your electronic hardware with hinges, levers, pulls and other architectural door hardware throughout the project.

Whether the design language is modern and minimalist, contemporary and bold, or more classic and refined, you can pair the right electronic hardware with matching mechanical or decorative components. Brands like Barben and Zanda are often selected for their stylish profiles, while Dormakaba and Lockwood are widely specified where robust performance is the priority.

Consistent styling across residential and commercial spaces

Using compatible electronic hardware across both residential and commercial elements of a mixed-use development helps create visual consistency and a better user experience. For example, a project in Brisbane’s CBD might feature smart front door access for apartments, controlled back-of-house doors for retail spaces, and secure plant room entries — all supported by a common electronic hardware platform behind the scenes.

Choosing the Right Electronic Hardware

Key considerations before you buy electronic hardware online

When you buy electronic hardware online, it’s important to think beyond the individual door and consider the full system. Before finalising your selection, consider:

• Door type – front door, internal, external, fire or egress door
• Usage level – light residential, mixed-use or heavy commercial traffic
• Locking arrangement – fail-safe or fail-secure, single or double doors
• Access method – keys, cards, fobs, keypads or integrated smart systems
• Power supply and cabling requirements
• Compatibility with existing hardware and control systems

Working with experienced installers, locksmiths or security integrators is recommended for electronic door hardware, particularly on commercial projects and complex access control systems across Queensland and New South Wales.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is electronic door hardware?

Electronic door hardware refers to locking and access components that rely on electrical power rather than purely mechanical operation. This includes items like electronic strikes, electromagnetic locks, motorised locks and accessories that integrate with keypads, card readers, intercoms and access control systems. These products are commonly used on front doors, internal secure doors and external entries in both residential and commercial settings.

Can I use electronic hardware on external doors?

Many electronic hardware products are suitable for external doors when installed correctly and protected from excessive exposure to the elements. For front doors and other external entries in Brisbane, Queensland or coastal New South Wales, it’s important to consider environmental conditions, required security levels and door construction. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and consult with a qualified installer or locksmith to ensure the chosen products are appropriate for the specific application.

Is electronic door hardware suitable for residential homes?

Yes. Electronic hardware is increasingly popular in residential homes, townhouses and apartments. It can provide convenient keyless entry, easier management of access for guests or trades, and greater flexibility compared to traditional keys. Many homeowners across Queensland and New South Wales choose electronic options for front doors, garage access doors and side gates, while still using mechanical hardware for internal doors where electronic access is not required.

What brands of electronic hardware are commonly used with your range?

Our electronic hardware category is designed to work in conjunction with well-known architectural and security brands available through John Barnes Group, including Dormakaba, Lockwood, Barben and Zanda. These brands are widely trusted in Australia for both residential and commercial door hardware, offering compatible mechanical and decorative components to complement electronic locking solutions.

Do I need a specialist to install electronic door hardware?

While some basic hardware upgrades may be within the capabilities of experienced DIYers, most electronic door hardware should be installed by qualified locksmiths, electricians or security integrators. Correct wiring, power supply selection, alignment, and integration with access control systems are critical to long-term performance and safety. This is especially important for commercial buildings, multi-residential projects and any doors used for fire or emergency egress.

Can electronic hardware be integrated into existing access control systems?

In many cases, yes. Electronic strikes, locks and related components are often designed to work with standard access control voltages and signalling. When upgrading or expanding an existing system in Brisbane, Queensland or elsewhere in Australia, it’s important to check compatibility with your current controllers, readers and power supplies. A security professional or integrator can assist with selecting suitable products and ensuring seamless integration.

Is electronic door hardware compliant with Australian standards?

Products within this category are sourced from reputable manufacturers and are generally designed to meet relevant Australian standards when used as intended. However, compliance can depend on the exact product, door type and installation method. For fire-rated or emergency egress doors, or for projects with specific compliance requirements, you should review product documentation and consult with your installer, certifier or project team to ensure all standards are met.

Can I buy electronic door hardware online for a new build project?

Yes, many builders, project managers and trade customers buy electronic door hardware online as part of their door and security schedules. When ordering for a new build or major renovation, it’s helpful to have clear door hardware schedules, drawings and access control requirements so you can match each door with the correct electronic and mechanical components.
