Security & Door Access Systems on The Block from Gainsborough

Gainsborough is the first choice
for security & door access systems on The Block

Leading Australian door hardware brand, Gainsborough, is the official supplier of security and door access systems for the 2012 series of Nine Network's The Block.

As Australia's most popular reality program, more than ever homeowners are tuning to episodes of The Block for inspiration and ideas for their own homes. As the leading door hardware brand for Australian homeowners, it was a great fit for Gainsborough to be involved said General Manager, Peter Crossley. "For over forty years the Gainsborough brand is the name behind many of the locks and handles on doors in homes across Australia. Many people don't realise, more new homes built today use Gainsborough than any other brand of locks and door hardware," said Mr Crossley.

"Many homeowners are not aware of the fantastic array of choices available to them when it comes to door hardware and as a home improvement option, it is still one of the most cost effective things you can do to a home that will completely modernise or freshen up the look just like new carpet or a coat of paint."

"Door hardware is often one of the last design elements homeowners think about when renovating or building a new home, however it's one of those finishing touches that can have a dramatic influence on the overall look and feel of a home."

Gainsborough is part of the GWA Group, Australia's leading supplier of building fixtures and fittings to households and commercial premises. The company is the owner of an extensive range of well-known brands including Caroma, Dorf, Fowler, Stylus, Clark, Radiant, Irwell, Dux, Brivis, Gliderol, Austral Lock and Gainsborough, the market leader in door and access systems that builders, architects and homeowners have come to rely on.

Throughout the series Gainsborough will showcase modern and stylish door hardware options available to Australian homeowners as well as reveal a brand new simple, smart and secure home access system called the Gainsborough G+ Access System. The G+ Access System gives you access to entry points and control of alarms, external lights and more all from one stylish G+ Key.

"Gainsborough is constantly looking for new ways to make it easier for people to access their homes and we are extremely excited to unveil the G+ Access System on The Block," said Mr Crossley.

"The influence of technology in our everyday lives has changed the way we live and this in turn has influenced interest in home access and automation. The G+ Access System has been designed and developed to recognise the changing ways we are all living in our homes."

Gainsborough's reputation has flourished over more than 40 years and has emanated from their strong relationships within the residential building industry and also driven by Gainsborough's commitment to product development, design and production.
