The McGrath NX5 is a lever smart lock for homes with a long, slim body that helps cover old lock holes. It opens by fingerprint, PIN code, RFID card or tag, the McGrath Smart Locks app, or a backup key. It works with your phone by Bluetooth, and remote access needs a McGrath gateway. It suits hinged doors 38 to 54 mm thick, best sheltered or undercover. Locksmiths Perth 24/7 supplies and fits it anywhere in Perth, Western Australia.

Who the NX5 suits
The NX5 is a home front door lock for people who want to stop hunting for keys. Its body is long and slim, 255 by 65 mm, which helps when the old lock left marks above and below the handle rather than out to the side.
It works well for a busy household. Each person gets their own fingerprint or code, a dog walker gets a tag, and the app shows who came in and when.
What we check before we fit it
- Door thickness. It suits doors from 38 to 54 mm. Thinner than 38 mm, the NX1 is the better match.
- Latch type. The NX5 comes with an adjustable tubular latch, a 60 mm backset tubular latch, or as a European mortice version. We pick the one that suits the door you have.
- Old lock marks. We measure the old lock against the NX5 body and tell you what will be covered.
- Shelter. The outside is IP65, fine under cover. We will tell you if the door is too exposed.
- The swing. If the door drops or the latch catches, we sort that so the lock isn’t fighting it.
Living with the NX5
- Batteries. 4 AA batteries, with a beep at the lock and a warning in the app when they run low.
- Flat batteries. A power bank in the USB C port, or the backup key.
- Passage mode. Leave it unlocked through the day and lock it again with one tap.
- Codes. Type extra numbers either side of your code to hide it. The keypad locks out after 5 wrong attempts, and the reset button can be turned off in the app.
- History. The McGrath Smart Locks app logs each entry.
NX5 or NX1?
Same ways to open, same batteries, same app. The NX5 is longer and narrower and starts at 38 mm doors. The McGrath NX1 is wider, 234 by 76 mm, and takes doors from 35 mm. We measure your old lock and tell you which one hides the marks better.

Common questions
What is the difference between the McGrath NX5 and NX1?
They open the same ways. The NX5 body is 255 by 65 mm and suits doors 38 to 54 mm thick. The NX1 body is 234 by 76 mm and suits doors 35 to 54 mm thick.
Can I open the NX5 from my phone when I’m not home?
Only with a McGrath gateway. Without one, the app works by Bluetooth when you are close to the door.

There is a European mortice version as well as tubular latch versions. We tell you which one suits your door.
