Importance of Toilet Partition Hardware

Toilet partition hardware must meet specific performance criteria, particularly in high-traffic and commercial environments. These fittings must be robust, easy to install, low-maintenance, and, where applicable, compliant with accessibility standards such as AS1428.1:2021. At the same time, the hardware must complement the overall bathroom design, offering visual consistency and modern appeal.

Whether refurbishing an existing washroom or constructing a new facility, selecting the right toilet partition hardware is critical for:

• Ensuring privacy and security for users

• Complying with fire and accessibility standards

• Reducing ongoing maintenance and repair costs

• Achieving a high-quality finish in line with architectural specifications

Bumpers and Staples

Bumpers protect doors and panels from impact damage during opening and closing, absorbing shocks and reducing wear over time. Staples, often paired with indicator bolts or locks, provide the catch mechanism that secures doors closed. 

John Barnes Group offers a range of Metlam bumpers and staples designed for long-term performance. Key features include:

• Durable rubber or nylon bumpers

• Stainless steel and zinc-plated staples for corrosion resistance

• Easy installation into partition panels or walls

• Options for standard or heavy-duty usage

These components are indispensable for minimising panel movement, preventing door slamming, and ensuring secure closure—especially important in busy commercial or public facilities. Buy Bumpers and Staples online today from the John Barnes online shop!

Indicator Bolts

Indicator bolts are essential for privacy in toilet cubicles, allowing users to lock the door from the inside and indicate occupancy on the outside. These bolts are vital for user confidence and safety in both residential and commercial applications.

Our Metlam range includes:

• Slide and turn-style bolts for smooth operation

• Emergency access options, crucial for AS1428.1 compliance in accessible toilets

• Visual occupancy indicators, clearly marked for ease of use

• Durable finishes such as satin chrome and stainless steel

Ideal for schools, shopping centres, office buildings, and accessible bathrooms, indicator bolts should be selected for both usability and compliance. Buy Indicator Bolts online today from the John Barnes online shop!

Partition Channels

Partition channels secure the edges of panels to walls or floors, providing structural support and ensuring panel alignment. They are fundamental to the integrity of the cubicle system.

Our Metlam channels are engineered for ease of installation and long-term durability. Features include:

• Aluminium or stainless steel construction

• Pre-drilled or drill-on-site options

• Compatibility with various panel thicknesses

• Available in U-channel or F-channel profiles

Partition channels contribute to the rigidity and overall safety of the partition installation. Proper installation prevents panel movement and maintains alignment over time. Buy Partition Channels online today from the John Barnes online shop!

Partition Hinges

Partition hinges allow cubicle doors to swing open and closed smoothly. They must support the weight of the door, ensure even movement, and resist corrosion in moist environments.

Metlam partition hinges from John Barnes Group offer:

• Gravity-return or spring-return functionality

• Anti-vandal and tamper-resistant designs

• Stainless steel, nylon, or die-cast zinc materials

• Adjustable tension for customised door control

Choosing the right hinge is essential for longevity and performance. Accessible cubicles must use hinges that comply with AS1428.1 for ease of use and emergency access. Buy Partition Hinges online today from the John Barnes online shop!

Our Metlam kits typically include:

• Indicator bolt

• Pair of hinges

• Door stop/bumper

• Keeper or staple

Ideal for both new installations and refurbishments, partition kits save time and ensure a neat, professional finish across all cubicles in a facility. Buy Partition Kits online today from the John Barnes online shop!

Partition Legs

Partition legs elevate cubicles off the floor, allowing for easy cleaning and airflow while supporting panel weight. They are particularly important in wet areas where moisture control is critical.

Features of our Metlam partition legs include:

• Adjustable height for uneven floors

• Stainless steel construction for rust resistance

• Concealed fixings for tamper resistance

• Load-bearing capabilities suitable for commercial use

Partition legs must be carefully specified for floor-mounted or floor-to-ceiling cubicles, especially in high-moisture environments such as gyms, aquatic centres, and public toilets. Buy Partition Legs online today from the John Barnes online shop!

Compliance and Standards

Toilet partition hardware in commercial, public, and accessible facilities must adhere to the AS1428.1:2021 Design for Access and Mobility standard. This includes:

• Indicator bolts with emergency release

• Hinges that allow doors to swing outwards in emergencies

• Hardware installed at compliant heights and clearances

John Barnes Group ensures that our Metlam products are tested and approved for such applications, giving peace of mind to builders, architects, and end users alike. For high-traffic or multi-user environments, fire-rated components may also be required.
