Who the NX6 suits
The NX6 is the one for a heavy front door. It takes doors up to 110 mm thick, so a solid timber entry door that rules out most smart locks is usually fine. The body is 370 by 75 mm, which also helps cover marks from an old lock.
It suits people who use the lock at the door: walk up, put a finger on it and go in. If you want to let people in from work or from overseas, you can add a McGrath gateway later, or start with the NX6W, which has WiFi built in.
What we check before we fit it
- Door thickness. 38 to 110 mm covers most Perth front doors, thick ones included.
- The mortice. The NX6 runs on a European mortice. If your door has a deadlatch or an older mortice, we explain what has to change and how the old holes are covered.
- Shelter. The outside handle is IP65. A door that cops full weather needs a chat about other options.
- How the door shuts. A dropped door or a rubbing latch makes the motor work harder and drains batteries, so we check that first.
Living with the NX6
- Batteries. It takes 8 AA batteries, and you get a warning at the lock and 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 backup key.
- Privacy bolt. Throw the extra manual bolt from inside at night so codes and fingerprints can’t open it while you’re home.
- Passage mode. Keeps the door unlocked until you switch it off.
- Codes. Hide your code with extra digits, and the keypad locks out after 5 wrong tries. The reset button can be turned off in the app.
- Entry log. The app keeps a record of each entry.
NX6 or NX6W?
They are the same lock with the same ways to open it. The only difference is WiFi: the NX6 connects to your phone by Bluetooth when you are close by and needs a McGrath gateway for remote access, while the McGrath NX6W has WiFi built in. For a standard thickness door, the McGrath NX5 is another option.

Common questions
What is the difference between the McGrath NX6 and NX6W?
Only WiFi. The NX6W has it built in. The NX6 uses Bluetooth at the door and needs a McGrath gateway for remote access. Everything else, including the door range and batteries, is the same.
Will the NX6 fit a thick solid door?
It suits hinged doors 38 to 110 mm thick, which covers most solid timber front doors. Send us a photo and we will confirm.
Can I add WiFi to the NX6 later?
Yes. Add a McGrath gateway and you can open it and send codes through the app from anywhere.
What happens if the NX6 batteries go flat?
It warns you first. If they go flat, use a power bank in the USB C port and enter your code, or the backup key. If you’re still locked out, call us on 0427 580 823.
