Touch™ Architectural Door Hardware

Architectural door hardware coordinated around the complete door system.

ZAUS Touch™ Architectural Door Hardware brings together the functional, tactile and architectural components required to complete a coordinated door package.

Each hardware specification can be developed around the project door schedule and selected door system, allowing handles, hinges, locks, latches, sliding mechanisms, door controls and associated accessories to be selected according to the dimensions, weight, operation and intended application of each opening.

From understated lever handles and concealed hinges through to large-format pull handles, pocket-door mechanisms and specialist door-control hardware, Touch™ allows the hardware to be considered alongside the door and frame rather than selected as an isolated finishing item.

Complete Architectural Hardware System

Different door types place different requirements on their operating hardware.

Touch™ can coordinate components including:

• Lever handles

• Pull handles

• Flush and recessed pulls

• Hinges

• Concealed hinges

• Locks and latches

• Sliding and pocket-door mechanisms

• Door closers

• Door stops and catches

• Flush bolts

• Door seals

• Associated operating hardware

The final hardware combination is selected according to the construction and functional requirements of the individual door.

Lever Handles

Architectural lever handles provide the primary operating interface for conventional hinged doors.

Different profiles, proportions and finishes can be selected according to the architectural character of the project and the intended application of the opening.

Lever hardware can be coordinated across:

• Internal doors

• Bedroom doors

• Bathroom and ensuite doors

• Home offices

• Living areas

• Selected entry applications

• Hospitality and commercial interiors

Handle selection should be considered together with the required latch, lock and door construction.

Pull Handles

Pull handles can provide either a restrained architectural detail or a more prominent feature depending on their scale and design.

They are particularly suited to:

• Entry doors

• Feature doors

• Glass doors

• Large-format doors

• Selected sliding systems

• Architectural openings

Longer-format pulls can establish stronger vertical lines across oversized doors, while smaller profiles can provide a more understated appearance.

Final handle dimensions, fixing requirements and compatibility should be coordinated with the selected door construction before manufacture.

Flush & Recessed Pulls

Flush and recessed pulls provide a low-profile operating solution where projecting hardware would interfere with the movement or appearance of the door.

Applications can include:

• Pocket doors

• Sliding doors

• Concealed sliding systems

• Selected wardrobe and dressing-room openings

• Minimal architectural interiors

The pull depth and installation requirements should be coordinated with the door thickness and sliding configuration.

Locks & Latches

Mechanical locking and latching hardware can be selected according to the function and security requirements of each opening.

Depending on the applicable hardware collection, configurations can include:

• Mortise locks

• Passage latches

• Privacy locks

• Mechanical entry locks

• Sliding-door locks

• Flush bolts

• Associated locking components

Bedrooms, bathrooms, general circulation doors, entry doors and other openings can therefore receive hardware appropriate to their individual use rather than applying one locking configuration throughout the project.

Smart and electronic access systems are coordinated separately through the ZAUS Portal™ Smart Access collection.

Standard Architectural Hinges

Conventional architectural hinges provide a reliable solution for standard hinged-door applications.

Hinge selection should consider:

• Door dimensions

• Door thickness

• Door weight

• Door construction

• Opening direction

• Required movement

• Frequency of use

• Environmental conditions

The quantity, dimensions and capacity of the hinges are determined according to the requirements of the individual door.

Concealed Hinges

Concealed hinges are recessed into the door and frame so the hinge mechanism is substantially hidden when the door is closed.

This creates a cleaner relationship between the door leaf and frame and can be particularly effective across contemporary architectural interiors.

Concealed hinges can be coordinated with selected ZAUS door systems where compatible with the door construction and frame configuration.

3D Adjustable Concealed Hinges

Selected concealed hinge systems provide multi-axis adjustment during installation.

This allows the position of the door leaf to be fine-tuned relative to the frame, assisting with consistent margins and alignment across the opening.

Adjustment capability and load capacity vary according to the selected hinge system and should be matched to the dimensions and weight of the door.

Hydraulic Hinges

Selected architectural hinge systems can incorporate hydraulic or controlled-closing functionality.

These mechanisms can provide more controlled door movement while maintaining a discreet hardware arrangement.

Final suitability depends on door dimensions, weight, frame construction, opening angle and required closing behaviour.

Heavy-Duty Hinges

Larger and heavier architectural doors can require higher-capacity hinge systems.

Heavy-duty hardware can be considered for:

• Oversized doors

• Thick door leaves

• Solid or high-density door constructions

• Large feature doors

• Selected concealed-door systems

• High-use openings

Hinge capacity should always be matched to the actual door specification rather than selected according to appearance alone.

Sliding Door Hardware

Touch™ can provide the operating hardware required for compatible architectural sliding-door systems.

Depending on the selected system, components can include:

• Sliding tracks

• Hanging wheels and rollers

• Floor guides

• Soft-close mechanisms

• Flush pulls

• Edge pulls

• Sliding locks

• Stops

• Multi-panel hardware

Track and hardware selection depends on the panel dimensions, weight, movement and required opening configuration.

Pocket-Door Hardware

Pocket-door systems require dedicated hardware that allows the door leaf to retract into the wall cavity.

A coordinated system can incorporate:

• Pocket-door tracks

• Hanging hardware

• Rollers

• Floor guides

• Soft-close mechanisms where supported

• Flush and edge pulls

• Compatible locking hardware

• Door stops and operating components

The pocket structure, door dimensions, hardware and surrounding wall construction should be developed together before manufacture and installation.

Door Closers & Control Hardware

Selected openings can incorporate door-control hardware where controlled closing or movement is required.

Depending on the application and applicable hardware system, this can include:

• Surface-mounted door closers

• Concealed door closers

• Controlled-closing mechanisms

• Hydraulic hardware

• Other compatible door-control components

Final selection should consider door weight, opening angle, required closing behaviour and project performance requirements.

Door Stops, Catches & Accessories

Smaller hardware components play an important role in the operation and protection of the complete door system.

Touch™ can coordinate selected:

• Floor-mounted door stops

• Wall-mounted door stops

• Magnetic stops

• Magnetic catches

• Flush bolts

• Door seals

• Associated fixing hardware

These components can be scheduled alongside the primary handles, hinges and locks so the complete opening is considered together.

Architectural Finishes

Hardware finishes can be coordinated with the surrounding architectural material palette.

Depending on the selected component and applicable manufacturer collection, finish directions can include:

• Matte black

• Brushed stainless

• Satin metallic

• Brushed brass and warm metallic finishes

• Dark bronze

• Selected polished finishes

• Project-specific finishes where supported

Exact finish names, colours and surface treatments remain tied to the applicable manufacturer range and physical samples rather than being treated as universal options across every Touch™ component.

Hardware Specification

Hardware should be selected against the actual door construction and operating requirements.

Specification can consider:

• Door dimensions

• Door thickness

• Door weight

• Door material

• Frame construction

• Opening direction

• Opening method

• Required security

• Privacy requirements

• Frequency of use

• Sliding or pocket configuration

• Architectural finish

This allows each opening to receive hardware appropriate to its function while maintaining a coordinated architectural language across the project.

Door System Coordination

Touch™ can be coordinated across the broader ZAUS architectural door collection.

Custom Entry Doors • Linear™ Precision Interior Doors • Atelier™ Collection Interior Doors • Eclipse™ Concealed Interior Doors • Glide™ Pocket & Sliding Door Systems • AquaShield™ Series Interior Doors • GlassLine™ Hinged Glass Doors • GlassLine™ Sliding Glass Doors • FrameLine™ Architectural Door Frames

Different hardware can therefore be specified for different door systems while remaining part of one coordinated project hardware schedule.

FrameLine™ Coordination

Touch™ hardware can be developed alongside FrameLine™ Architectural Door Frames so hinge preparation, locks, latches, striker locations and other hardware requirements are resolved with the frame before manufacture.

This is particularly important for concealed hinges, specialist locks and other systems requiring precise machining of both the door leaf and frame.

Eclipse™ Coordination

Eclipse™ Concealed Interior Doors can require specialist concealed hardware to maintain their flush architectural appearance.

Compatible concealed hinges, hydraulic hinges, locks, seals and minimalist operating hardware can be selected according to the dimensions, weight and construction of the Eclipse™ door.

Glide™ Coordination

Glide™ Pocket & Sliding Door Systems can be coordinated with Touch™ tracks, rollers, guides, soft-close mechanisms, pulls and compatible locks.

Considering these components together allows the door leaf, pocket or sliding arrangement and operating hardware to be developed as one system.

GlassLine™ Coordination

GlassLine™ Hinged and Sliding Glass Doors require hardware compatible with their aluminium-framed glazed construction.

Handles, hinges, sliding mechanisms, guides and locking components can be selected according to the applicable GlassLine™ profile and door configuration.

Final compatibility should be confirmed against the selected manufacturer-supported system before production.

Smart Access Coordination

Where intelligent access is required, compatible entry doors can be coordinated with the separate ZAUS Portal™ Smart Access collection.

Portal™ systems provide electronic and biometric access functionality, while Touch™ remains the architectural hardware collection for mechanical, functional and operating components across the broader door package.

Compatibility between the smart lock, door construction and required mechanical hardware should be confirmed during specification.

Whole-of-Project Hardware Coordination

Touch™ can be scheduled across an entire project rather than selecting hardware opening by opening during construction.

A coordinated hardware schedule can establish:

• Handle families

• Hardware finishes

• Hinge types

• Lock functions

• Privacy requirements

• Sliding hardware

• Door-control requirements

• Accessories

• Compatibility with individual door systems

This can improve consistency while still allowing individual openings to receive hardware appropriate to their specific function.
