Background
Located on top of The Glen Shopping Centre in Glen Waverly, Sky Garden is a residential apartment complex with 555 apartments across three buildings. The buildings offer panoramic views from the evergreen Dandenong Ranges across to Melbourne's city skyline. Sky Garden was shortlisted for the UDIA awards for excellence, for best high-density development in Australia.
Three years on from practical completion, 555 apartments across three buildings, not a single defect has arisen in the defects register relating to the door hardware itself.

Providing reliability at large scale
With so many apartments across multiple buildings, Rothelowman Architects wanted the door hardware to come from one provider. Having an all-in-one solution for door hardware allows for a smoother process in specification and greater consistency in the quality of the hardware specified. A priority was to specify high quality, durable door hardware within project budgeting which would stand the test of time. 
Seamless Access
Allegion were able to supply the door closer mechanisms, door levers, mortice locks and door stops for almost every door within the development. The Schlage 7000 Series levers provide a sleek appearance with lasting integrity for high traffic areas. Manufactured from stainless steel and designed for durability, the levers are a wise choice for large scale apartment projects. This was paired with the Briton 1120 and 1130 Series door closers in satin chrome finish, complementing the aesthetic appeal and building code compliance. Most importantly, all fittings provided by Allegion were supplied with a warranty of up to 15 years. Designed for security and mobility, Allegion products create peace of mind for reliable door hardware, on any size project. Additionally, Allegion expertly managed the project start to finish, delivering the products ready to install on time and within budget.
