The McGrath Kedron is a smart deadbolt with a glass touchscreen and a fingerprint reader. It opens by fingerprint, PIN code, RFID card or tag, the McGrath Smart Locks app, or a backup key, and it can lock itself using the door sensor that comes with it. It uses Bluetooth, and remote access needs a McGrath gateway. It suits hinged doors 35 to 60 mm thick. Locksmiths Perth 24/7 supplies and fits it anywhere in Perth, Western Australia.

Who the Kedron suits
The Kedron is for people who keep forgetting to lock up. It comes with a door sensor, and it locks the bolt by itself once the door shuts. If the kids are always last out the door, or you second guess yourself halfway to work, that alone does a lot.
Because it is a deadbolt, your door keeps its own handle or latch for everyday use and the Kedron adds the bolt above it. That suits a door that already has a good handle set you want to keep.
What we check before we fit it
- Door thickness. It suits doors from 35 to 60 mm.
- The latch below. The Kedron is a bolt only, so the door still needs a handle or latch to hold it shut. We check yours is in good shape.
- Where the old deadlock was. If you are swapping out an old deadlock, we check how the Kedron sits over the old holes and tell you what will show.
- The door sensor. Auto lock relies on the sensor reading the door properly, so we fit it where the door closes against it every time.
- Bolt alignment. If the bolt rubs on the strike, the motor works harder and batteries go sooner. We line it up so it throws freely.
Living with the Kedron
- Auto lock. Close the door and the bolt goes across on its own.
- Privacy switch. At night you can flick it so only the admin user and the key can open the door.
- Passage mode. Keeps the door unlocked while people are coming and going.
- Flat batteries. It runs on 4 AA batteries and warns you first. If they die, plug a power bank into the USB C port or use the key.
- Backup key. The key cylinder can be rekeyed.
- Codes. Hide your code among extra numbers, and the keypad locks out after 5 wrong tries.
- Strength. The stainless steel bolt resists sawing, and McGrath rates the Kedron Grade 1 after 300,000 test cycles.

Common questions
Does the McGrath Kedron lock automatically?
Yes. It comes with a door sensor and locks the bolt once the door is shut.
Does the Kedron need a gateway?
For remote access, yes. It works with your phone by Bluetooth at the door, and a McGrath gateway lets you open it and send codes from anywhere.
Can I stop codes working at night?
Yes. The privacy switch means only the admin user and the backup key can open it until you turn it off.
Will the Kedron fit my door?
It suits hinged doors 35 to 60 mm thick and needs a handle or latch below it. Send us a photo of the door and current locks and we will let you know.
