The McGrath A236 is a slimline smart lock with a 36 mm body and a modern lever, made for most aluminium doors. It opens by fingerprint, PIN code, RFID card or tag, the McGrath app over Bluetooth, or a backup key. WiFi is not built in, so remote access needs a McGrath gateway. It suits doors 35 to 55 mm thick with a 35 mm backset. Locksmiths Perth 24/7 supplies and fits it anywhere in Perth, Western Australia.

Who the A236 suits
The A236 is a touch wider than McGrath’s 31 mm locks and has a more modern lever. It sits well on most aluminium doors, including ones a little too wide for the ultra narrow models to look right.
It suits a home with an aluminium front or patio door, or a small business that wants staff on cards or codes. You can add and remove people in the app without cutting a single key, and a McGrath gateway lets you do it from anywhere.
What we check before we fit it
- Door thickness. 35 to 55 mm.
- Backset. It comes with a European mortice with a 35 mm backset, and works with McGrath’s 85 series. We measure your door to see which suits.
- Frame width. The body is 36 mm wide, so we check it sits on the stile without covering the glass.
- The old lock. We tell you what comes out and what goes in before we start.
- Weather. IP65 on the outside. If the door cops full weather, we talk through it with you.
Living with the A236
- Batteries. Four AAA. The app and the lock both let you know when they are low.
- Flat batteries. A power bank into the USB C port plus your code, or the key.
- Passage mode. Keeps the door unlocked until you switch it off.
- Code privacy. Add extra digits around your code. Five wrong tries locks the keypad, and the reset button can be turned off in the app.
- Who came in. The app records each entry.
- Heat. Rated from minus 20 to 60 degrees.
A236 or A231?
Both are narrow aluminium door locks with the same five ways in. The A236 has a 36 mm body and a modern lever for doors 35 to 55 mm thick. The McGrath A231 is slimmer at 31 mm and suits doors from 28 mm.

Common questions
What size door does the McGrath A236 fit?
McGrath lists it for doors 35 to 55 mm thick, with a 35 mm backset mortice. Send us a photo of the door edge and we will check it.
Does the McGrath A236 have WiFi built in?
No. It connects to your phone by Bluetooth. A McGrath gateway, sold separately, gives you remote access.
What is the difference between the A236 and the A231?
The A236 is 36 mm wide with a modern lever. The A231 is 31 mm wide for thinner frames and fits doors from 28 mm thick.
What happens if the A236 batteries go flat?
There is a low battery warning in the app and at the lock first. If they run out, a power bank in the USB C port and your code opens it, or use the key.
