Who the Stafford suits
The Stafford is built for a door that gets used all day. Think of a small office, a clinic, a workshop or a staff room, where handing out keys to every new starter gets old fast. Each person gets their own code or tag, and you cancel it when they leave.
The keypad has raised buttons you can feel, the lever is DDA compliant to BCA AS1428.1-2009, and the lock is fire rated for E-Core and Firecore doors. That covers a lot of what a commercial door has to meet.
What we check before we fit it
- Door thickness. 35 to 55 mm.
- Fire door. We confirm the door is E-Core or Firecore before calling it a fire rated install.
- Existing mortice. It comes with an adjustable tubular latch, and McGrath says it works with most common Australian commercial mortice locks. We check yours.
- Door closer. On a busy door with a closer, we check the door latches every time it shuts. If it doesn’t, the lock isn’t the problem.
- Old holes. We tell you what the Stafford covers before we start.
Living with the Stafford
- Batteries. 4 AA batteries. McGrath puts it at about 12 months at 10 uses a day, and it warns you when they are low.
- Flat batteries. A power bank in the USB C port gets it working, or open it with the key.
- Door left open. The door sensor tells you if someone leaves it open.
- Opening hours. Passage mode leaves the door unlocked through trading hours.
- Codes. Staff can pad their code with extra numbers, and the keypad locks out after 5 wrong tries. The reset button can be switched off in the app.
- Backup key. The key cylinder can be rekeyed.
- Wear. McGrath has cycle tested it 300,000 times.
Stafford or Hamilton?
Same fire rating, same IP66 outside, same door sensor. The Stafford has raised tactile buttons and no fingerprint reader, which suits a shared commercial door. The McGrath Hamilton adds a fingerprint reader and a glass screen and suits homes as well.
