Door Hardware

Improve Door Security With the Right Hardware

When it comes to choosing hardware for your home’s entries and exits, a top consideration should be door security. At Lowe’s, we offer a variety of ways to secure your doors — from smart technology features to standard keyed entry door handles, knobs and deadbolt locks. 

As you weigh the options, first consider the type of lockset you want. Keyed, electronic or smart? Then decide on specifics like brand and finish. We carry Schlage, Kwikset and Yale locks in a variety of finishes. Need specialty hardware? Our selection includes pocket door handles, French door hardware, barn door hardware kits and more.

Hinges for Every Door

Looking for front door hardware, self-closing door hinges, barn door hinges, pivot door hinges or smart door locks? At Lowe’s, we have solutions for every door in your home — whether you want to secure your front door, to install sliding pocket doors in the bathroom, or to buy interior door hardware for cabinets and closets. We also have what you need to install a commercial electronic door lock system or hotel electronic door locks in your business.

Whether you want heavy-duty hinges for commercial use or decorative hinges for cabinet doors, we offer plenty of options. Easily find what you’re looking for by using the search filters on Lowes.com to shop by hinge type, finish, measurements, brand and more.

Other Door Parts and Accessories

When it comes to doors, you might need something other than hinges and handles to complete a job. Maybe you want a pocket door latch for added privacy, a padlock latch for a cellar door, or a mechanism for a sliding glass door. We carry all of those — along with other door accessories, such as door catches, door closers and door stoppers. Shop online and see how simple it can be to update the door hardware in your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does door hardware include?

A: Different door hardware sets come with different parts, and some parts sell separately. Some electronic deadbolts, for example, come on their own. You can choose one that matches your existing hardware. Other deadbolts come with matching door handles and keys for entry. Refer to the product overview with each listing on Lowes.com for specifics on what each product includes.

Q: What are the different types of hinges?

A: There are many types of door hinges, each with a different use. Mortise hinges are the most common. Builders use them in both residential and commercial structures. They’re ideal for lightweight interior and exterior doors, as opposed to heavy or wide doors.

Spring hinges, like their name suggests, have springs that pull doors closed automatically. They’re commonly used with screen doors. To learn more about hinge types and their applications, check out our Hinge Buying Guide.

Q: What’s the most secure kind of door lock?

A: Many types of secure door locks exist today to give you peace of mind. If you want to add security when locking your door, consider a deadbolt lock. A deadbolt offers a second, strong locking point for any door that currently uses only a locking knob or lever. To learn more about different types of door locks, including deadbolts, check out our door hardware buying guide.

Q: What are window sash locks?

A: Window sash locks draw window frames together and can reduce window rattling. They also can keep your windows more secure with an extra layer of protection against break-ins.
