The McGrath NX6W is a lever smart lock with WiFi built in, so you can let people in and check who came and went from your phone without buying a separate gateway. It opens by fingerprint, PIN code, RFID card or tag, the McGrath Smart Locks app, or a backup key. It suits hinged doors 38 to 110 mm thick and is best on a sheltered or undercover door. Locksmiths Perth 24/7 supplies and fits it anywhere in Perth, Western Australia.

Who the NX6W suits
The NX6W makes sense when you want to manage the door from anywhere. If you run a holiday let, you can send a guest a code before they arrive and cancel it when they leave. If the kids come home from school before you do, or a cleaner or tradie needs to get in while you are at work, you can open the door or send them a timed eKey from your phone.
If you only ever use the lock while you are standing at the door, the NX6 is the same lock without the WiFi. You can add a McGrath gateway to it later if you change your mind.
What we check before we fit it
- Door thickness. It suits hinged doors from 38 to 110 mm, which covers most Perth front doors, including solid timber ones.
- The old lock. The NX6W runs on a European style mortice. If your door has a cylinder deadlatch or an old mortice, we tell you what has to change and how the old holes will be covered before we start.
- Weather. The outside handle is rated IP65, so it handles rain on a porch or under a verandah. On a door that cops full sun and driving rain we will talk you through a better option.
- How the door closes. If the door has dropped or the latch rubs, the motor works harder and the batteries go flat sooner, so we tell you if the door needs adjusting first.
- WiFi at the door. We check your home WiFi reaches the front door before you choose the NX6W over the NX6.
Living with the NX6W
- Batteries. It runs on 8 AA batteries. The app and the lock both warn you when they are getting low.
- Flat batteries. Plug a phone power bank into the USB C port on the outside and enter your code, or use the backup key.
- Privacy at night. There is an extra manual bolt you can throw from inside, so nobody can come in on a code while you are home.
- Busy days. Passage mode leaves the door unlocked until you turn it off.
- Security. You can type extra numbers before or after your code so nobody can read it over your shoulder, and the keypad locks out after 5 wrong tries. You can also turn off the reset button in the app.
- Who came and went. The McGrath Smart Locks app keeps a record of every entry.
NX6W or NX6?
They are the same lock with the same ways to open it. The only difference is WiFi: the NX6W has it built in, the NX6 connects to your phone by Bluetooth when you are close by and needs a McGrath gateway for remote access. See the McGrath NX6.

Common questions
Does the McGrath NX6W need a gateway?
No. The NX6W has WiFi built in, so it connects to your home WiFi and you can open it and send codes from anywhere through the McGrath Smart Locks app. The NX6 is the version that needs a gateway.
What happens if the NX6W batteries go flat?
You get a low battery warning in the app and at the lock well before that happens. If they do go flat, plug a power bank into the USB C port on the outside and enter your code, or open it with the backup key. If you are still stuck, call us on 0427 580 823, any time.
Will the McGrath NX6W fit my front door?
It suits hinged doors 38 to 110 mm thick and works best on a sheltered or undercover door. Send us a photo of your door and the current lock and we will tell you if it fits and what needs to change.
Can I see who has opened the door?
Yes. The McGrath Smart Locks app keeps a record of every entry, and because the NX6W is on WiFi you can check it from anywhere.
Can you fit a McGrath NX6W anywhere in Perth?
Yes. We supply and fit it at your home or business anywhere in Perth, Western Australia, and we agree the price with you before we start. Call 0427 580 823.
