The McGrath X3 is a slim smart deadbolt for home doors, made to suit replacing an old deadlock. It opens by fingerprint, PIN code, RFID card or tag, the McGrath Smart Locks app, or a backup key. It uses Bluetooth, and remote access needs a McGrath gateway. It suits hinged doors 35 to 50 mm thick and is best on a sheltered or undercover door. Locksmiths Perth 24/7 supplies and fits it anywhere in Perth, Western Australia.

Who the X3 suits
The X3 suits a front door where the handle is fine and you just want to stop using a key for the deadlock. It goes where the old deadlock was, the outside is a slim 140 by 60 mm, and your handle stays as it is.
That makes it an easy step into smart locks for a family home. Everyone gets a fingerprint or a code, and you can send a timed eKey to a visitor from the app.
What we check before we fit it
- Door thickness. The X3 suits doors from 35 to 50 mm. Thicker than that, the Kedron takes up to 60 mm.
- The handle below. It is a bolt only, so the door still needs a latch or handle to hold it closed. We check yours works properly.
- The old deadlock. The bolt adjusts to a 60 or 70 mm backset. We check it lines up with where your old deadlock was and how the X3 covers the old holes.
- Bolt and strike. If the bolt rubs, the motor strains and the batteries go flat sooner, so we line it up.
- Heat. McGrath rates it to work from minus 20 to 60 degrees, but it still belongs on a sheltered door.
Living with the X3
- Batteries. 4 AA batteries, with a beep at the lock and a warning in the app when they are low.
- Flat batteries. Plug a power bank into the USB C port and put in your code, or use the backup key.
- Passage mode. Keeps the bolt open until you switch it back.
- Codes. Add extra numbers before or after your code to hide it. The keypad locks after 5 wrong tries.
- Handing. We set it for a left or right hand door on site.
- Log. The app records each time the door is opened.
X3 or Kedron?
Both are McGrath deadbolts with fingerprint, code, card, app and key. The X3 is slimmer and suits doors 35 to 50 mm. The McGrath Kedron takes doors up to 60 mm and adds a glass touchscreen, a door sensor that locks it automatically, and a privacy switch.

Common questions
Can the McGrath X3 replace my old deadlock?
Usually. Its bolt adjusts to a 60 or 70 mm backset and it suits doors 35 to 50 mm thick. Send us a photo of the old deadlock and we will confirm.
Does the X3 lock automatically?
McGrath doesn’t list auto lock for the X3. If you want the door to lock itself when it shuts, the McGrath Kedron does that with its door sensor.
Does the X3 have WiFi?
No. It uses Bluetooth near the door. Add a McGrath gateway to open it and send codes from anywhere.
Will the X3 cope with a hot Perth summer?
McGrath rates it to run from minus 20 to 60 degrees. We still fit it on a sheltered or undercover door, as McGrath recommends.
