The McGrath NX1 is a lever smart lock for homes, with a larger body that covers the holes left by an old lock. 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 54 mm thick and is best on a sheltered door. Locksmiths Perth 24/7 supplies and fits it anywhere in Perth, Western Australia.

Who the NX1 suits
The NX1 is a good swap for an older front door. When you take off a key lock, there are usually screw holes and a cut out left behind. The NX1 body is big enough to cover most of that, so the door looks tidy without patching.
It suits a family home where everyone wants to stop carrying keys. Adults use a fingerprint, younger kids get a code or a tag, and you can send a timed eKey to the cleaner from your phone.
What we check before we fit it
- Door thickness. It suits doors from 35 to 54 mm. If your door is thicker, the NX6 takes doors up to 110 mm.
- Latch or mortice. The NX1 comes as a tubular latch version or a European mortice version. We look at what your door has now and tell you which one fits with the least work.
- The old holes. The outside body is 234 by 76 mm. We measure your old lock and tell you what will be covered and what won’t.
- Weather. The outside is rated IP65, which is fine under a porch or verandah. A door that takes full sun and rain needs a talk first.
- The door itself. A dropped door or a rubbing latch flattens batteries faster, so we check it shuts cleanly.
Living with the NX1
- Batteries. 4 AA batteries. The lock beeps and the app warns you when they get low.
- Flat batteries. Use the USB C port with a power bank, or the backup key.
- Passage mode. Leaves it unlocked until you turn it off, handy for a party or a delivery day.
- Codes. Add extra numbers around your code so it can’t be read over your shoulder. Five wrong tries locks the keypad out.
- Reset button. You can switch it off in the app.
- Handing. We can set it for a left or right hand door on site.
NX1 or NX5?
They open the same ways and run on the same batteries. The NX1 takes doors from 35 mm and has a wider body, 234 by 76 mm. The McGrath NX5 starts at 38 mm doors and has a longer, narrower body, 255 by 65 mm. Which one hides your old holes better depends on the lock you have now, so we measure and tell you. For a door thicker than 54 mm, look at the McGrath NX6.

Common questions
Will the McGrath NX1 cover the holes from my old lock?
