Location Balwyn, VIC
Hardware Lockwood Paradigm deadbolts, faceplates flush-notched into battens
Scope 9 x entry doors across multi-townhouse development
The Challenge

A builder in Balwyn had nine townhouses going up at once and needed a consistent entry door across the whole development. The aluminium door jambs were already in — pre-installed as part of the structural package — so whatever door went in had to work with what was there.

Getting one custom door right is straightforward. Getting nine of them identical, all fitting pre-set jambs with zero tolerance for variation, is a different job entirely. Every door had to match in profile, finish, and hardware placement. No room for inconsistency when buyers are walking through comparing units side by side.

The Solution

We supplied and installed nine solid Vic Ash batten doors with a vertical batten profile. Vic Ash gives you a tight, even grain that takes a finish well and holds up to Melbourne weather without the movement you get from softer timbers.

Each door was fitted with a Lockwood Paradigm deadbolt. The faceplates were flush-notched into the battens on-site — cut by hand into the face of each batten so the hardware sits flat against the door surface. It’s a detail that takes extra time but keeps the entry looking clean. No protruding plates, no visible gaps between hardware and timber.

The aluminium jambs dictated the exact door dimensions, so every door was checked against its specific opening before final fitting. Our custom batten doors are built to work with whatever frame system is already in place.

The Result

Nine townhouses, nine identical entries. The vertical Vic Ash battens give each unit a solid architectural presence without being flashy. The flush-notched Lockwood hardware keeps the face of the door clean and uncluttered. From the street, the entries read as one cohesive development — which is exactly what the builder was after.
