The McGrath Ashgrove is a digital deadbolt with raised keypad buttons. It has no handle; it throws a stainless steel bolt and works alongside the handle or latch already on your door. It opens by PIN code, RFID card or tag, the McGrath app over Bluetooth, or a rekeyable backup key. WiFi is not built in, so remote access needs a McGrath gateway. Locksmiths Perth 24/7 supplies and fits it anywhere in Perth, Western Australia.

Who the Ashgrove suits
A deadbolt is a good way into keyless entry if you like the handle you already have. The Ashgrove goes above it and does the locking, and the old handle just latches the door.
The raised buttons are easy to find by touch, which helps older people or anyone who struggles with a flat touch screen. There is a privacy switch on the inside: flick it and only the administrator and the key can open the door, handy at night.
What we check before we fit it
- Door thickness and backset. McGrath doesn’t publish these for the Ashgrove, so we measure your door before you order.
- Where the bolt goes. We check there is room above the handle for the deadbolt and that the bolt lines up with the frame.
- How the door shuts. If the bolt has to be forced home, the motor struggles. We tell you if the door needs adjusting.
- Weather. McGrath doesn’t state a weather rating for the Australian Ashgrove, so we suggest it on a sheltered door and talk through an exposed one with you.
- The door sensor. It comes with a sensor that tells the app when the door is left open. We fit it so it works.
Living with the Ashgrove
- Batteries. Four AA. You hear a beep at the lock and get a warning in the app when they are low.
- Flat batteries. Plug a power bank into the USB C port and enter your code, or use the key. The cylinder can be rekeyed.
- Privacy switch. Locks out everyone except the administrator and the key.
- Passage mode. Holds the bolt back until you turn it off.
- Codes. Extra digits around your code, and 5 wrong tries locks the keypad.
- Toughness. McGrath says it is Grade 1 and tested to 300,000 cycles, with an anti saw stainless steel bolt.
Ashgrove or Kedron?
Both are McGrath deadbolts the same size. The Ashgrove has raised buttons and opens by PIN, card, app or key. The McGrath Kedron adds a fingerprint reader and can lock itself through its door sensor.

Common questions
Does the McGrath Ashgrove replace my door handle?
No. It is a deadbolt with no handle. It sits above your existing handle or latch and does the locking.
Does the Ashgrove have a fingerprint reader?
No. It opens by PIN code, card or tag, the app or a key. The McGrath Kedron is the deadbolt with fingerprint.
Can I stop codes working at night on the Ashgrove?
Yes. The privacy switch on the inside locks out everyone except the administrator and the key until you switch it off.
Does the McGrath Ashgrove need a gateway?
Only for remote access. It works with your phone by Bluetooth near the door, and a McGrath gateway lets you open it and send codes from anywhere.
