How secure is your home?
Homeowners want their homes to be as safe and as beautiful as possible. Ironmongery - locks and door furniture - can make a big difference in improving both the safety and aesthetics of a home.
There are many considerations when choosing the right ironmongery, and ASSA ABLOY helps guide you on the best products to choose for each application.
ASSA ABLOY manufactures a range of residential ironmongery which includes door locks, door handles, gate locks, automatic door closers and accessories such as door viewers and door stops, coat hooks, and hinges.
Each product has a particular specification, designed for a unique application. This document will guide you on the best choice for external and internal doors, safety features to consider, and a wide range of handles to choose from to ensure your home looks attractive.
Different door types require specific locks, hinges, and door furniture, depending on security levels, door structure (e.g., pivot vs. sliding), and material (glass, timber, or steel).
The following pages provide an overview of door types and main considerations.

Types of doors
Choosing the correct ironmongery for your home is an important security consideration. This diagram outlines important aspects to consider.
Sliding door
Locks used on sliding doors are generally cylinder claw bolt locks which offer good security.
Recommendations: Pull handles, cylinder claw locks, patio door locks.
Front & Pivot Doors
The front door is the first line of defence. It should be a solid timber or steel door that is difficult to break through. A lever lock with multiple key differs (5-lever lock) or ideally a cylinder lock is important.
The use of correct hinges/pivots for your specific door is also important and determined by the door's size and type. The front door is also a focal point; once security is established, aesthetics should be the next consideration.
Recommendations: 5-lever lock or cylinder lock, door furniture, hinges, pivot sets, door accessories.
Other External Doors
Glass doors, stable doors, or rear entrance doors are often overlooked for security. As these provide direct access from the outside, high-security doors and locks are important.
Recommendations: 5-lever lock or cylinder lock, door furniture, hinges, door accessories.
Bedroom/Study Doors
Security of internal doors is less critical, so locks with fewer key differs can be used. Door accessories like doorstops, coat hooks, and door furniture should be considered.
Recommendations: Accessories, door furniture, locks, handles.
Garage to House Interleading Doors
It is important that doors leading from a garage to the house are fire-rated to prevent fire spread and enable safe exit. A fire-rated door closer and door hinges should be used to ensure this door always remains closed.
Recommendations: Type of door, door lock, door closer, hinges.
Bathroom doors
Bathroom doors are part of internal doors. While security is less critical, aesthetic aspects like privacy cylinders with an indicator bolt can be considered. Accessories such as coat hooks and door stops are also important.
Recommendations: Cylinder/lever lock, door furniture, accessories.
Security gates
Security gates are common in South African homes, offering an additional layer of security. It is important to consider the locks used on these gates.
Recommendations: 5-lever lock/cylinder lock.
Patio/Stacking Doors
To ensure stacking doors are always fully secured, flush bolts are important. Pull handles and door locks are essential. If these doors exit outside, cylinder locks are recommended, and patio door locks provide additional security.
Recommendations: Flush bolts, door locks, accessories.
Door Furniture
DOOR HANDLES
Door handles should be selected based on aesthetics and materials. A quality handle will be smooth to operate and tested for coastal and humid conditions.
