Door furniture, also called door hardware, is an umbrella term that comprises all the items attached to a door. From hardware that improves the door’s functionality, such as door locks and door hinges, to hardware that enhances the look of doors, such as modern door handles and unique door knockers.
What door furniture will you need?
- Door Hinges
- Door Locks
- Door Handles
These three pieces of door furniture are essential for any door. Of course, you might choose not to install door locks on your passage doors. However, locks always come in handy when you require some level of privacy. You might need other types of door furniture for specific doors, such as bathroom turn and release handles and door hooks for bathroom doors or letter plates and centre door knobs for entrance doors.

Some of our best-selling door hardware includes lever handles, cabinet handles, door locks, handrail brackets and door hinges.
Lever handles.
Lever handles are types of door handles that feature a lever bar. This lever bar operates the latch mechanism inside the door, and thus, opens the door when the bar is pushed down.
