Uniting on Second Bowden SA
Located within Adelaide’s growing Bowden precinct, Uniting on Second is a 70-apartment development designed to provide modern, community-focused living. With a combination of private residences, shared facilities and high-traffic common areas, the project required a door hardware solution capable of delivering durability, compliance and visual consistency throughout the development.
To meet these requirements, Zanda Commercial Hardware supplied a complete hardware package across the project, supporting both the functional and architectural objectives of the development.
Supporting Residential Living at Scale
Multi-residential projects present unique challenges when it comes to hardware specification. Products must withstand frequent daily use, comply with relevant accessibility and fire safety requirements, and maintain a cohesive appearance across a wide variety of spaces.
At Uniting on Second, the selected hardware package was designed to provide reliable performance throughout individual apartments, corridors, communal facilities and service areas while maintaining a consistent finish across the entire development.
Brushed Nickel and Stainless Steel finishes were chosen for their durability, low-maintenance qualities and suitability for high-use environments.
A Complete Commercial Hardware Package
The hardware specification included:
- Kent Levers
- Streamline DDA Levers
- Commercial Mortice Locks
- 9205 Door Closers
- Skirting Mount Door Stops
- Push and Pull Plates
Each component plays an important role within the development’s overall functionality.
Streamline DDA Levers support accessibility requirements throughout designated areas, while commercial mortice locks provide secure and dependable access control for residents. Door closers assist with fire door compliance and everyday operation, and push and pull plates offer a practical solution for shared spaces experiencing regular pedestrian traffic.

Consistency Across Every Space
One of the key benefits of a complete hardware package is the ability to maintain continuity throughout a project.
By sourcing all door hardware requirements through a single supplier, the project team achieved consistency across apartments, common areas and service spaces while simplifying procurement and installation processes.
This coordinated approach ensures residents experience the same level of quality and functionality throughout the development, regardless of where they are within the building.
Project Outcome
Uniting on Second demonstrates how a carefully planned hardware specification can contribute to the success of a multi-residential project. By balancing compliance requirements, durability and architectural presentation, the hardware package supports the long-term performance of the development while contributing to a cohesive resident experience.
As demand for quality apartment living continues to grow, projects such as Uniting on Second highlight the importance of selecting hardware solutions that perform reliably while supporting the overall design vision.
