Who the Hamilton suits
The Hamilton is the McGrath to look at when a door has rules to meet. It carries a 2 hour fire rating on E-Core and Firecore doors, and its lever is DDA compliant to BCA AS1428.1-2009. That makes it a fit for a fire door between a garage and the house, a unit block entry, or a small business door that has to stay compliant.
The lever is also easy on hands that struggle with a key, so it is worth a look if you are setting up a home for an older parent and want carers to come and go on their own code. It is made and engineered in Australia.
What we check before we fit it
- Door thickness. It suits doors from 35 to 54 mm. A thicker door needs a different lock, so we measure before you order.
- Fire doors. The fire rating covers E-Core and Firecore doors. We check what your door is before we call it a fire rated install.
- The existing lock. It comes with an adjustable 60 or 70 mm tubular latch, and it works with most common Australian mortice locks. If your door has a mortice we may be able to keep it.
- Old holes. We tell you what the Hamilton covers and what will still show before we start.
- How the door closes. A door that rubs or drops makes the latch work harder, so we check it swings and shuts cleanly.
Living with the Hamilton
- Batteries. 4 AA batteries, with a low battery warning before they run out.
- Flat batteries. A power bank in the USB C port gets it going, or use the backup key.
- Door left open. It has a door sensor that tells you if the door has been left open.
- Weather. The outside is rated IP66.
- Codes. You can pad your code with extra numbers so nobody can read it over your shoulder, and the keypad locks out after 5 wrong tries.
- Wear. McGrath has cycle tested it 300,000 times.
- Records. The app keeps a log of every entry.
Hamilton or Stafford?
Both have the same 2 hour fire rating, the IP66 outside and the door sensor. The Hamilton has a fingerprint reader and suits homes as well as businesses. The McGrath Stafford has no fingerprint reader, has raised tactile buttons and is built for busy commercial doors.
