Door Hinges for Residential and Commercial Projects

Door hinges are a critical component of any opening, affecting not only how the door operates but also its longevity, safety and feel. Our range of hinges is suited to front doors, internal doors, external access doors and service doors across both residential and commercial environments.

For homes and apartments, choose durable hinges that complement your chosen levers, pull handles and locks. For commercial and high-traffic areas, look for robust hinge combinations designed to handle frequent use, heavier doors and more demanding conditions. Many of our hinges are suitable for use with popular door hardware systems from Dormakaba, Lockwood, Barben and Zanda, helping maintain consistency across lobbies, corridors and common areas.

Architectural Hinges to Match Modern Design

Architects and designers often look for hinges that support clean lines and contemporary styling. As part of our architectural door hardware offering, we stock hinges in a range of modern finishes and profiles to blend with minimalist, industrial or premium design schemes.

Choose from matte black, stainless steel, satin chrome, polished finishes and warm metallic tones such as brass-look options, depending on the product. These finishes coordinate seamlessly with architectural levers, pull handles and door accessories from brands like Barben and Zanda, helping you achieve a unified look on every door, from the front entry to internal and external service doors.

Materials, Finishes and Performance

When selecting hinges, it is important to consider durability, corrosion resistance and the environment in which they will be installed. In coastal and humid regions of Queensland and New South Wales, stainless steel and high-quality plated finishes are particularly popular, providing added resistance to rust and wear.

Our hinge range includes options in stainless steel and other robust materials, designed to handle everyday use in homes, offices, healthcare, education and industrial facilities. For external doors, look for hinges that are specifically suited to outdoor conditions, and for internal doors, match the finish to your handles, locks and other architectural hardware for a cohesive look.

Choosing the Right Hinge for Your Door

Door Type and Weight

The size, construction and weight of the door will influence which hinge is most suitable. Lightweight internal doors typically require standard duty hinges, while solid timber, acoustic, fire and some security doors may require heavier duty hinge solutions. Always check product details and door manufacturer guidelines to ensure compatibility.

Function and Frequency of Use

Consider how often each door will be used and the type of environment. High-traffic entries, corridor doors and doors in commercial or public buildings place more demand on hinges than a bedroom or cupboard door. For these areas, choose hinges built for frequent cycling and long-term performance, often supplied by established brands such as Dormakaba and Lockwood.

Appearance and Hardware Coordination

Hinges might be a small detail, but they can have a noticeable impact on the overall finish of a door. Matching hinge finishes to your levers, pulls and locks – for example, matte black hinges with matte black Barben or Zanda door furniture – creates a premium, considered appearance across your project.

Hinges for Front Doors, Internal Doors and External Doors

Front entry doors often require a combination of strength, security and presentation. Hinges for these doors should support the weight of the door and complement high-end locks, pull handles and accessories. Internal hinges focus more on quiet, smooth operation and aesthetic consistency, while external hinges may need added corrosion resistance for exposure to the elements.

Whether you are fitting a contemporary front door in a Brisbane home, a run of internal doors in a New South Wales apartment building, or external access doors in a commercial facility elsewhere in Australia, you will find hinge solutions in our online range to suit the job.

Seamless Integration with Door Hardware Brands

John Barnes Group has a long-standing focus on architectural door hardware, and our hinge range reflects this. Many installers and specifiers prefer to coordinate hinges with door furniture and locks from the same or complementary brands for a consistent look and feel.

Our hinge selection is designed to pair effectively with leading hardware brands such as Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda. This makes it easier to specify full door schedules where every component – from the hinge to the handle, closer and lock – works together visually and functionally.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of hinges can I buy online from John Barnes Group?

Our category includes a wide selection of hinges suitable for front doors, internal doors, external access doors and various joinery applications. You will find options in different sizes, materials and finishes, with products suited to both residential and commercial environments. Many hinge styles coordinate with architectural hardware ranges from Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda, making them easy to integrate into complete door schedules.

Are your hinges suitable for use in coastal or humid areas?

For coastal and high-humidity regions, such as many parts of Queensland and New South Wales, we recommend selecting hinges made from stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials where available. These options are better suited to environments where moisture and salt exposure are more common, particularly on external doors. Always refer to individual product descriptions for material details and recommended applications.

Can I use the same hinge type for all doors in a project?

Not always. Lighter internal doors may be adequately supported by standard duty hinges, while heavy entry doors or commercial fire and security doors may require heavier duty hinge solutions. It is common to use different hinge types across a project depending on door weight, size, function and traffic. However, you can still maintain a consistent appearance by choosing matching finishes across the hinge range.

Do your hinges work with Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda door hardware?

Yes. Our hinge range has been selected to complement major door hardware brands such as Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda. In most cases, you can match finishes and performance levels across hinges, levers, locks, closers and other accessories. Always check specific product details to confirm suitability for your door construction and hardware combination.

Are the hinges suitable for both residential and commercial projects?

Many of the hinges in this category are suitable for either residential or commercial use, depending on door type, size and traffic levels. When selecting hinges for busy commercial, educational or healthcare environments, look for products designed to handle higher frequency of operation and heavier doors. Our online range makes it simple to compare features and choose the right hinge for each application.

Do I need a tradesperson to install these hinges?

Basic hinge replacement on standard doors can sometimes be handled by experienced DIY renovators, but for new installations, heavy doors or commercial projects, we recommend engaging a qualified tradesperson or locksmith. Correct hinge selection, positioning and fixing are essential for smooth operation, door alignment and long-term performance.

Can I buy hinges online for delivery outside Brisbane?

Yes. While John Barnes Group is based in Brisbane, we supply hinges and architectural hardware to customers throughout Queensland, New South Wales and Australia-wide. When you buy hinges online, you can nominate your delivery address at checkout, making it straightforward to service multiple sites or regional projects.

How do I choose the right finish for my hinges?

Start by looking at the finish of your door handles, locks and other visible hardware. Matching hinges to these items creates a cohesive, premium look. Matte black, stainless steel and satin metallic finishes are popular in modern and contemporary interiors, while brass-style finishes can complement traditional or heritage-inspired designs. Consider the overall aesthetic of the space as well as practicality and maintenance requirements.
