Finish
Disclaimer
Please note that finish names are indicative only and may vary slightly between manufacturers and what you see on this page. While we group products under common finish categories for easier browsing — such as satin brass door handles, black hinges, brushed nickel door furniture, or polished chrome door stops — the actual colour, tone, and sheen can differ from brand to brand.
A satin brass hinge from one brand may appear more golden or have a different brushed effect compared to another. Similarly, matte black door handles might range in texture and depth of colour depending on the supplier.
This applies across our range of products, therefore we recommend reviewing all product images and specifications carefully. If exact colour matching is important for your project, feel free to contact us — we’re happy to provide more information or product comparisons before you buy.
Door Hardware Finishes
Our Finish tag page brings together all of the door hardware finishes we stock in one easy place, so you can quickly match levers, locks, hinges, accessories and more across your entire project. Instead of guessing which products will work together, you can browse by finish and build a cohesive look from your front door right through to bathrooms, joinery and external access doors – whether you are working on a home in Brisbane, a commercial space in Queensland or New South Wales, or managing projects Australia-wide.
From matte black and satin stainless through to brass, bronze, aluminium and speciality finishes, this category lets you filter everything by colour and texture first, then drill down into the right product types and brands. With premium architectural door hardware from Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood, Zanda and more in our broader range, you can confidently buy door hardware finishes online and know you’ll achieve the look and performance you’re after.
Shop Architectural Door Hardware by Finish
The Finish tag is designed to simplify selection for architects, designers, builders and homeowners who start with a design vision. Rather than navigating by product code or brand, you can begin with the finish that suits your interior scheme or façade, then choose functions and brands to suit your budget and technical requirements.
Across this category you’ll find finishes applied to:
- Front door handles, pull handles, entrance sets and deadbolts
- Internal door levers, privacy sets and passage sets
- Hinges, door stops, strikes and other hardware accessories
- Washroom and commercial accessories such as towel rails, hand dryers and grab rails
- Signage and specialty hardware where finish is part of the overall design
This approach makes it easy to keep your hardware palette consistent, whether you’re working with modern, contemporary, industrial, coastal or classic styles in residential or commercial environments.
Matching Finishes Across Your Entire Project
Front Entry and External Doors
Your front door sets the tone for the whole property. By starting with a finish – such as matte black for bold contrast, satin stainless for a coastal-friendly look, or a warm brass tone for a premium feel – you can then select matching locks, escutcheons, door viewers and pulls from our finish-filtered options. This ensures your external door hardware looks intentional and remains coordinated with your façade colours, windows and garage doors.
Internal Doors and Joinery
Inside the building, consistency is key. Using the Finish tag, you can match internal door levers, privacy sets, dummy handles and cupboard pulls in the same or complementary finishes, so your doors and joinery all speak the same design language. For example, many customers in Brisbane and across Queensland choose black or brushed nickel finishes to tie together doors, wardrobes and cabinetry hardware in open-plan living spaces.
Commercial and Public Spaces
In offices, education and healthcare facilities, finish choices play a big role in creating a professional, easy-to-maintain environment. Using this page, you can select durable finishes such as satin stainless steel or satin aluminium for high-touch areas, then ensure matching closers, push plates, pull handles, signage and washroom accessories are all in the same finish family. This approach makes it easier to maintain a consistent brand or design language across multiple levels and sites in New South Wales and right throughout Australia.
Popular Door Hardware Finishes in Our Range
Matte Black and Black Finishes
Black door hardware continues to be a favourite in modern and contemporary design. It offers strong contrast on light doors, pairs beautifully with timber and stone, and works equally well in residential and commercial settings. In this Finish category, you’ll find black options for levers, locks, hinges, stops, bathroom accessories and more, so you can commit fully to a black hardware story from the front door to the back.
Stainless Steel, Satin Chrome and Aluminium
Stainless and satin metallic finishes are a versatile choice for both internal and external doors. They provide a clean, understated look that suits a wide range of colour schemes and architectural styles, and are often preferred for high-traffic or coastal environments. By filtering for these finishes, you can match entrance sets, internal levers, commercial hardware and accessories in satin stainless, satin chrome or satin aluminium without mixing incompatible shades.
Brass, Bronze and Warm Metallics
Brass and bronze finishes bring warmth and character to door and joinery hardware. Whether you want the lived-in appeal of aged brass, the richness of antique bronze or the understated glamour of brushed brass tones, this page helps you quickly locate all products in similar finishes. These options are ideal for premium residential projects, boutique hospitality venues and character restorations across Brisbane, Queensland, New South Wales and beyond.
Speciality and Coloured Finishes
For wayfinding, compliance or a bolder design statement, speciality finishes and colours play an important role. Within this Finish category, you’ll also come across painted, timber-look and acrylic finishes used for seals, signage, bolts and other specialist items. Being able to filter by finish helps you ensure that even these functional components integrate neatly into your broader design scheme.
Compatible with Leading Door Hardware Brands
Because this page organises products by finish rather than by brand, you can see options from multiple manufacturers side by side. This is particularly useful when you’re working with a mix of residential and commercial hardware, or when you have specific technical requirements but still want a consistent look.
In our broader catalogue, you’ll find:
- Barben – design-focused architectural hardware available in a range of popular finishes for modern interiors.
- Dormakaba – mechanical and electronic hardware where performance and finish must work hand in hand in commercial settings.
- Lockwood – trusted Australian door hardware with finish options suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
- Zanda – contemporary levers and accessories in on-trend finishes to suit current interior design styles.
By starting with the Finish tag and then drilling down into individual products, you can confidently mix and match these brands while maintaining control over your final colour and finish palette.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Finish tag page represent?
The Finish tag page groups products by their surface finish or colour, rather than by brand or product type. It lets you browse all hardware options available in specific finishes – such as black, stainless steel, brass, bronze, aluminium or speciality colours – so you can keep your overall look consistent across doors, joinery and accessories.
Which products can I filter by finish?
You can filter a wide range of products by finish, including front door handles, internal levers, locks, hinges, closers, bathroom accessories, grab rails, signage and more. If a product is available in a particular finish, it will appear when you apply that finish filter, making it easier to build a complete package around your chosen look.
Are finishes consistent across different brands?
Finishes are described using common terms like “black” or “satin stainless”, but there can be subtle differences between brands and product lines. Where a perfect match is critical, we recommend staying within the same brand family or checking samples before committing to a large order. Our team can provide guidance if you need help coordinating finishes from Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood, Zanda and other manufacturers across your project.
How do I choose the right finish for my project?
Start with your overall design style and colour palette. Matte black and dark finishes suit bold, contemporary interiors; stainless, satin chrome and aluminium work well in minimalist or high-traffic spaces; and brass or bronze tones add warmth and character. Consider how the finish will look against your door colour, joinery and fixtures, and think about maintenance requirements, especially for external or commercial environments.
Are these finishes suitable for coastal or high-use environments?
Many of the finishes available are designed for use in demanding environments, but performance can vary by product and brand. For coastal locations or heavy-traffic commercial areas, satin stainless steel or similar corrosion-resistant finishes are often preferred. Always refer to individual product details and consult with your builder or specifier to ensure the hardware and finish selection is appropriate for your site conditions.
Will the finish look the same in person as it does online?
Every effort is made to display finishes accurately, but colours and sheen can appear differently on various screens and under different lighting conditions. Treat images as a guide only. If colour matching is critical – for example, when coordinating with existing hardware or fixtures – we recommend reviewing samples or speaking with our team before placing a large order.
Can I mix different finishes in the same building?
Yes, many projects successfully combine multiple finishes – for example, using black hardware on internal doors and a statement brass or stainless finish on the front door. The Finish tag page can help you plan these combinations more easily by allowing you to see all products available in each finish, then decide where and how to mix them for the best effect.
Are these hardware finishes suitable for both residential and commercial use?
Yes, this category includes finishes across products aimed at residential homes, multi-residential developments and a wide variety of commercial and institutional projects. Always check the individual product specifications to confirm suitability for your specific application, particularly in high-traffic or compliance-driven environments such as education, healthcare and commercial offices.
