{"title":"Door Hardware \u0026 Accessories","description":"\u003cp\u003eDoor hardware accessories cover the supporting components that keep a door functioning properly, including hinges, strike plates, door stops, seals, and closers, as distinct from the main lock, handle, or lever sets. These are the parts most often needed for repairs and replacements rather than a full hardware upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat counts as a door hardware accessory\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere a handle set or lock is the visible, primary hardware on a door, accessories are the smaller supporting components that make the door work correctly day to day. This includes hinges that carry the door's weight, strike plates that the latch engages with in the frame, door stops that protect walls and fittings, seals that manage draughts and noise, and closers that control how a door swings shut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDoor parts for repairs and replacements\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoor parts is a common search for anyone dealing with a specific fault rather than shopping for a whole new hardware set, such as a worn hinge, a misaligned strike plate, or a broken door stop. Replacing individual door parts is usually far cheaper and quicker than replacing an entire handle or lock set, and it's the right approach when only one component has failed or worn out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHinges\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHinges need to match the weight and size of the door, so a heavier solid door needs a more substantial hinge than a lightweight internal door. When replacing a worn hinge, matching the existing hinge size and screw pattern avoids having to re-drill or fill the door frame, so checking dimensions before ordering saves time on installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStrike plates\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA strike plate is the metal plate fitted into the door frame that the latch or bolt engages with when the door closes. Over time strike plates can wear, loosen, or become misaligned as a house settles, which often shows up as a door that doesn't latch cleanly or needs to be pulled shut firmly. Replacing a worn strike plate is a simple fix that restores proper latching without touching the handle or lock itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDoor stops\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoor stops prevent a door from swinging into a wall, fitting, or piece of furniture, and come in floor-mounted, wall-mounted, and hinge-pin styles depending on where the door needs to be held. Choosing the right style depends on the space behind the door and whether there's a wall close enough to fit a wall-mounted stop or whether a floor or hinge-pin version suits the layout better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSeals and closers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoor seals reduce draughts, noise transfer, and light gaps around a door edge, and are a low-cost fix for doors that feel draughty or noisy without needing to replace the door itself. Door closers control the speed and force of a door closing, commonly specified for fire doors, high-traffic doors, or anywhere a door needs to shut reliably on its own rather than relying on someone to close it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMatching finish across accessories\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere accessories are visible, such as hinges on a feature door or a decorative door stop, matching the finish to the existing handle set keeps the overall look consistent. Less visible parts like strike plates matter less for finish matching since they sit mostly hidden within the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery across Australia\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoor hardware accessories ship Australia-wide, with 60-day returns if a part doesn't suit the door once you've checked the fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"acc_wrap\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"accordion\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's the difference between door hardware and door hardware accessories?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003eDoor hardware generally refers to the primary handle, lock, or lever set, while accessories are the supporting components such as hinges, strike plates, door stops, seals, and closers.
