With higher-density living on the rise, creating comfortable, functional apartments comes down to the details. Door hardware represents the most frequent physical touchpoint in any home, making the balance between compliance, aesthetics, and long-term durability critical.

While a new addition to the Allegion portfolio of brands, Novas brings a proven track record of reliability to the New Zealand market, delivering an architectural door hardware range engineered specifically for multi-residential specification, pairing high-grade stainless steel door furniture with precision performance.

Simplified specification and NZBC compliance

Meeting fire safety and accessibility rules for apartment doors can be complicated. Novas mechanical locks, levers and closers and Schlage Smart Locks make this process much easier:

• Certified fire and egress performance: Heavy-duty mortice locks and door closers tested to meet New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) requirements for apartment entry doors.
• Ergonomic accessibility: Lever designs engineered to satisfy clearance and operational force standards.
• Smart entry integration: The Novas range pairs seamlessly with the Schlage Encore smart lock, offering secure, keyless convenience ideal for apartment front entrances.

Enduring luxury with advanced PVD finishes

High-occupancy apartment living demands finishes that outlast standard finishes. Novas door hardware utilises advanced Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technology, creating an ultra-durable barrier against scratches, corrosion, and everyday wear. Available in on-trend finishes, including Gun Metal, Satin Black, Satin Antique Bronze, Satin Gold, Polished Stainless Steel, and Satin Stainless Steel.

Seamless finish consistency across the entire portfolio

Built for longevity, Novas hardware provides enduring durability without compromising on design. The collection delivers seamless colour consistency across levers, hinges, escutcheons and accessories ensuring every door and detail aligns perfectly with your aesthetic vision.

Novas door hardware, supplied by Allegion, delivers the perfect synergy of refined architectural style and commercial-grade reliability, helping specifiers build high-density homes that stand the test of time.
