AHS: Architectural Hardware Supplies for Residential, Commercial, and Electronic Access

AHS has spent more than 25 years supplying an extensive range of door handles, closers, latches, and access hardware, working at the forefront of solutions for architects, integrators, builders, and joiners across New Zealand. Based in Auckland and Wellington, the company services the entire country.

An Independent Supplier

As an independent supplier, AHS isn't tied to a single brand — it can access products from all major manufacturers and suppliers, including Trimec, Lockwood (ASSA ABLOY), Allegion, FSH, LCN, Dormakaba, Von Duprin, Brio, Schlage, Whitco, Raven, Smart Air, Windsor, and Henderson. That range, combined with the company's scale of operation, is used to assure customers of competitive pricing regardless of which brand best fits their project.

Residential, Commercial, and Electronic Ranges

AHS organises its catalogue into three main areas. The Residential range covers disabled access solutions, pool security solutions, residential door furniture, locks and latches, sliding door furniture, general hardware, door closers, and automatic operators. The Commercial range extends into cylinders and keying, commercial locks and latches, commercial door furniture, door closers and controllers, high security hardware, panic exit devices, general commercial hardware, and sliding and folding doors. The Electronic range covers access control, electromagnetic locks, electric mortice locks, electromechanical locks, electric strikes, electronic accessories, keyless locks, exit devices and push buttons, and power supplies and batteries.

Recent and Featured Products

Among the products currently featured are the AHS ML-600BLK Maglock, offering 600kg holding force with 12V or 24V options and a lifetime warranty, and the new AHS Mag Lock Header Packers, designed to ease installation of AHS ML600 and Lockwood Z8 maglocks.

Access and Security Beyond the Traditional Lock and Key

AHS notes that with the rapid advance in technology, access and security systems are no longer based solely on the traditional lock and key. For customers considering a change, the team can help explain the benefits and advantages of different solutions, from keyless locks to full access control systems.
