custom products
Explore our showcase of custom-designed, one-of-a-kind door furniture and architectural hardware, each piece born from a simple question: what can't you find?
bespoke designs
Considered form. Deliberate texture. Uncompromising precision. Our bespoke product range is a study in what's possible when design imagination is matched by exacting craftsmanship — each piece conceived, engineered, and finished entirely in-house, made to stand alone as a singular design statement.
Carmen terrazzo
A premium 100% Italian made terrazzo handle, a designer blend of chips of marble, quartz, granite and other materials
G Pull
Created for Sophie Goineau, the G Bull Pull is a custom entrance handle or pocket door pull developed to complement the architecture with precision, scale, and material presence. Its geometric form is both elegant and ergonomic, a bold circular gesture set against the door's flush plane.
Machined from solid brass and finished by hand, the weathered surface carries the patina of age from the first day, sitting naturally within a home built nearly seventy years ago. It is a refined expression of luxury hardware, designed not as a fitting but as an architectural element in its own right.
classic east display suite
At Classic East, Bates Smart's vision called for interiors that speak to the quintessential elegance of East Melbourne — a neutral, natural material palette designed to let residents shape a space entirely their own. Designer Doorware contributed two custom pieces to this refined, classical-contemporary language: a decorative groove pull handle for a considered, classic-modern finish, and a sculptural pull handle installed at the display suite entrance, its circular form a quiet architectural statement against timber battening. Together, the pieces reflect a shared understanding between architect and maker, hardware conceived not as an afterthought, but as part of the interior's broader material story.
four seasons, Denver
The brief was to deliver five-star luxury while value-engineering the entire project, so the original design concept and finish had to be kept without going over budget. The biggest challenge was the towel bars. They had to fit into very tight installation spaces, and some of those spaces varied with the joinery.
The back-to-back towel rail and shower door handle needed a different solution. Fixtures like these tend to loosen with use, so we value-engineered a fixing system that pulls the two handles together during installation. They were made from solid brass plated with polished chrome to match the polished stainless steel vanity rails
balencea
A residential apartment tower in one of Melbourne's most sought-after inner-city precincts, developed by Sunland Group and designed by Wood Marsh Architecture. Its interiors bring classical and contemporary influences together, setting polished surfaces against veneer, timber and stone, and classical chandeliers against contemporary minimalism. Designer Doorware designed and manufactured a customised suite of architectural hardware to carry that balance through every detail.
