Front Door & Entrance Hardware

Create a Strong First Impression

Your front door hardware is one of the first things people touch when they arrive, so it needs to look good and feel solid. Gainsborough entrance hardware is designed to balance style and security, giving you a premium look without compromising everyday usability. You’ll find front door levers, knobs, deadbolts and combination sets ideal for single and double doors, timber or metal frames, and a wide range of Australian home styles.

Style and Security for Australian Conditions

Gainsborough’s entrance sets and locks are purpose-built for Australian homes and conditions, from coastal locations in Queensland and New South Wales through to urban apartments and townhouses. Paired with quality door construction and correct installation, their front door locks provide a robust security layer for owners, tenants and visitors alike.

Internal Door Handles & Levers

Seamless Style Throughout the Home

For internal doors, Gainsborough offers a wide selection of leversets and door knobs that suit everything from minimalist apartments to traditional Queenslanders. Matching passage, privacy and locking sets allow you to carry a consistent design theme through bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas and home offices. This means you can choose one lever style and finish and repeat it across the entire project for a clean, architectural look.

Comfortable, Everyday Performance

Internal door hardware needs to feel comfortable and intuitive in the hand. Gainsborough designs focus on smooth operation, ergonomic lever shapes and reliable latching so doors operate quietly and consistently in high-traffic family homes, multi-residential sites and commercial offices.

Smart, Keyless & Advanced Locking Options

Modern Convenience for Busy Households

If you’re upgrading your front door to smart access, selected Gainsborough locks integrate keyless and electronic functionality for added convenience. Features can include PIN codes, digital access, and traditional key override depending on the model, making it easier to manage access for family, guests and trades without juggling extra keys.

Designed for Australian Homes

Gainsborough’s smart and electronic locks are developed for typical Australian door constructions, which helps simplify selection and installation. When you’re planning a more advanced entry solution, the John Barnes Group team can help align Gainsborough products with broader security or access-control requirements alongside brands such as Dormakaba and Lockwood.

Door Accessories to Complete the Look

Finishing Details That Matter

Beyond door handles and locks, Gainsborough also produces general door hardware and accessories including door stops, bolts and other complementary items. These finishing touches help protect walls and doors from damage, support day-to-day functionality and maintain a cohesive aesthetic from entryway to hallway and beyond. 

Coordinate with Other Premium Brands

On more complex residential and commercial projects, it’s common to pair Gainsborough hardware with other leading brands stocked by John Barnes Group, such as Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda. This gives specifiers flexibility to mix and match product performance, fire and accessibility requirements, and price points, while still achieving a coordinated architectural door hardware package.

Finishes, Styles & Applications

From Classic to Contemporary

Gainsborough’s design language spans classic, transitional and contemporary styles, making it suitable for heritage homes, renovated Queenslanders, new builds and modern apartments. You’ll find everything from simple round roses and clean-lined levers to more decorative backplates and statement handles.

Popular Finishes for Modern Projects

Today’s most requested finishes include matte black for bold contrast, satin chrome and stainless-steel tones for a sleek contemporary look, and brass-inspired finishes for warmth and character. By choosing Gainsborough for both front door and internal hardware, you can maintain consistency with tapware, cabinetry handles and other fixtures for a polished, considered interior.

Residential and Commercial Use

While Gainsborough is widely specified in residential homes and multi-residential developments, many products are also suited to light commercial environments such as offices, hospitality venues and boutique retail. For higher security or specialised compliance requirements, the John Barnes Group team can advise on pairing Gainsborough with complementary solutions from Dormakaba, Lockwood, Barben or Zanda as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Our Gainsborough range typically includes front door entrance sets, internal levers and knobs, deadbolts, smart and electronic locks, leversets and general door hardware accessories such as door stops and bolts. Availability can vary, but the focus is on quality architectural door hardware suitable for both residential and light commercial applications across Australia.

Are Gainsborough door handles suitable for both front doors and internal doors?

Yes. Gainsborough produces dedicated entrance hardware for front and external doors, as well as passage, privacy and locking sets for internal doors. This allows you to choose one style and finish for your front door and then carry the same look through bedrooms, bathrooms, studies and living areas, helping to create a cohesive design throughout the property.

Can Gainsborough hardware be used in coastal or humid environments?

Many Gainsborough products are suitable for use in typical Australian environments, including coastal regions in Queensland and New South Wales. However, performance will always depend on the specific product, finish and exposure level. For harsher environments, our team can guide you toward more corrosion-resistant finishes or alternative products better suited to salt air and high humidity.

Does Gainsborough hardware work with other brands like Dormakaba or Lockwood?

In many projects, Gainsborough hardware is combined with other trusted brands such as Dormakaba, Lockwood, Barben and Zanda. For example, you might choose Gainsborough leversets for internal doors, Dormakaba door closers for fire doors and Lockwood commercial locks for high-traffic entries. Our specialists can help ensure compatibility with common Australian door preparations and performance requirements.

Is Gainsborough door hardware compliant with Australian standards?

Gainsborough is an established Australian door hardware brand and many of its products are designed to meet relevant Australian standards and typical building requirements. Because compliance depends on the specific product and application, we recommend checking individual product details and consulting with our team if you have particular fire, accessibility or security obligations on your project.

Can I use Gainsborough smart or electronic locks on an existing front door?

In many cases, Gainsborough smart or electronic locks can be retrofitted to suitable existing doors, provided the door construction, thickness and preparation meet the product requirements. Before purchasing, review the product specifications and, if needed, speak with our team or your installer to confirm compatibility with your current door set-up.

Which finish should I choose for a modern, contemporary home?

For modern and contemporary homes, matte black, satin chrome and stainless-steel style finishes are popular choices. These finishes pair well with minimalist joinery, neutral colour palettes and modern fixtures. Brass-look finishes are also increasingly used to add warmth and contrast to otherwise simple interiors. Selecting a Gainsborough finish that matches your tapware and cabinetry handles will help tie the whole scheme together.

Do I need a locksmith or can I install Gainsborough door hardware myself?

Some Gainsborough hardware can be installed by competent DIY renovators, particularly simple passage sets on standard internal doors. However, for front door locks, smart locks, fire doors, commercial applications or any door that forms part of your main security, we strongly recommend using a professional installer or locksmith. John Barnes Group can assist with advice or connect you with installation support where required.

Can I use Gainsborough hardware in a commercial project?

Gainsborough hardware is widely used in residential and multi-residential settings and can also be suitable for light commercial applications, depending on the product and performance requirements. For higher security doors, fire doors, accessible paths of travel or heavy-duty commercial use, our team can help you integrate Gainsborough with more specialised solutions from brands like Dormakaba and Lockwood to meet project specifications.
