Smart Electronic McGrath Locks for Front & Internal Doors

Modern security with keyless convenience

McGrath digital locks provide an attractive upgrade over traditional keyed locks for both front doors and internal access doors. Models such as slimline electronic lever locks, smart deadbolts and multi-function digital sets are engineered to give you secure, keyless entry while maintaining a contemporary, architectural appearance. These products are well suited to timber doors, common Australian metal door constructions, and many retrofit scenarios, making them a flexible choice for renovations and new builds alike.

For busy households and workplaces, McGrath smart locks help streamline access control. Store multiple user credentials, manage access for family members, staff or contractors, and avoid the headaches of lost keys. Many locks in the McGrath range are designed with external doors in mind, making them suitable for front doors, side entries and even certain gate applications when installed correctly and in line with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Architectural finishes to complement modern designs

A key advantage of McGrath door hardware is the focus on stylish, architectural finishes. Depending on the model, you can find options in popular colours such as matte black, stainless steel, satin chrome or brass-toned finishes, helping you align your smart locks with the rest of your interior and exterior hardware. This makes McGrath an excellent choice for modern and contemporary homes, premium residential projects and commercial spaces where design is just as important as security.

Pair McGrath smart locks with complementary entrance sets, pull handles, hinges, door closers and accessories from brands like Lockwood, Dormakaba, Barben and Zanda to create a cohesive front door or lobby statement. John Barnes Group can support you in selecting compatible hardware so your project looks unified and performs reliably from the street entry right through to internal fitout.

 

McGrath Washroom Accessories & Supporting Hardware

Practical hardware for high-use washrooms

In addition to digital locks, McGrath is also represented in our washroom accessories offering. Selected McGrath fittings – such as toilet roll holders, dispensers and grab rails – are designed for durability in high-traffic amenities, making them suitable for commercial, healthcare, education and public facilities. When correctly specified and installed, these accessories can support compliant, user-friendly washroom designs that are easy to maintain over time.

Because John Barnes Group specialises in complete washroom accessory packages, McGrath components can be combined with products from brands like Barben and other leading manufacturers. This allows you to achieve consistent quality and aesthetics across all amenities, from accessible cubicles and parent rooms through to premium end-of-trip facilities, throughout Brisbane, Queensland, New South Wales and wider Australia.

Coordinated aesthetics from entry to amenities

Specifying McGrath across both door hardware and washroom accessories makes it easier to maintain a harmonious design language throughout your project. Matt black grab rails paired with matt black digital locks, or stainless steel washroom fittings alongside stainless steel or satin chrome smart locks, create a unified, professional appearance. This is particularly valuable for boutique hospitality venues, design-focused commercial offices and high-end residential developments looking to elevate every touch point.

Our team can help you choose finishes and product combinations that work together—whether that means pairing McGrath with minimal, modern handles from Zanda, robust commercial locking solutions from Dormakaba, or architectural accessory lines from Barben. The result is a cohesive hardware schedule that looks intentional and performs reliably day after day.

 

Choosing the Right McGrath Product for Your Project

Key considerations before you buy McGrath online

To get the best performance from McGrath hardware, it’s important to match the product to the application. When you buy McGrath smart locks or accessories online, consider:

  • Door location – front door, internal corridor, external gate or service door.
  • Door construction – timber, metal or fire-rated door leaf, and existing lock prep.
  • Usage level – light residential use, multi-residential, commercial or public.
  • Required access methods – PIN code, card/fob, smartphone or a combination.
  • Finish and style – modern, contemporary or more understated profiles.

If you are unsure, our technical team is available to help interpret door schedules, advise on compatibility and recommend suitable McGrath models. From small upgrades on Brisbane homes to large-scale fitouts across Queensland and New South Wales, we can guide you towards the right mix of McGrath and other architectural door hardware to meet your project requirements.

Integrating McGrath with broader architectural door hardware

McGrath locks are commonly used alongside mortice locks, tubular latches, door closers, hinges and access control components. In many cases, they can integrate with existing door hardware where dimensions and preparation are compatible, offering an efficient path to modernising security without completely rebuilding the door set. For new projects, McGrath can form part of a coordinated hardware schedule that also draws on Dormakaba for commercial-grade locking, Lockwood for traditional mechanical hardware, Barben for premium bathroom fittings and Zanda for feature pulls and levers.

When you buy McGrath door hardware online through John Barnes Group, you benefit from our deep experience in architectural projects across Australia. We can help you specify smart locks and washroom accessories that suit Australian conditions, local building practices and the expectations of end users—whether that’s apartment residents, office tenants, students or visitors to public facilities.

Availability may vary over time, but the focus is on practical, contemporary hardware that supports modern access control and amenity fitouts for residential and commercial projects across Australia.


Are McGrath smart locks suitable for front doors and external applications?

Many McGrath smart locks are designed with Australian front doors and other external applications in mind, offering robust construction and multiple access options. Suitability does depend on the specific model, door type and exposure conditions, so it’s important to check the product details and installation guidelines. If you are upgrading an external door in Brisbane, Queensland, New South Wales or elsewhere in Australia, our team can help you choose a McGrath lock that is appropriate for the location.


Can McGrath locks be used in commercial and multi-residential buildings?

Yes, McGrath digital locks are commonly specified for commercial offices, multi-residential developments, small businesses and short-stay accommodation. Their multi-user capability and keyless operation make them ideal for environments where access needs to be managed for staff, tenants or guests. For larger sites, McGrath can be combined with other architectural door hardware and access control solutions from brands like Dormakaba and Lockwood to deliver a complete security package.


What finishes are available in the McGrath range?

Depending on the model, McGrath locks and accessories are available in popular finishes such as matte black, stainless steel, satin chrome and other contemporary metallic tones. These finishes are chosen to blend seamlessly with modern interior and exterior palettes, including other architectural door hardware from brands like Barben and Zanda. When you buy McGrath online, you can filter by finish to ensure a consistent look across your project.


Who should install a McGrath smart lock or grab rail?

For best results and safety, McGrath smart locks should be installed by a qualified locksmith, carpenter or door hardware specialist familiar with electronic locking products. Grab rails and other washroom accessories should be fitted by experienced trades who understand structural fixing requirements and relevant accessibility guidelines. Professional installation helps ensure the product functions correctly and supports any compliance obligations for your building.


Can McGrath locks integrate with my existing door hardware?

In many cases, McGrath digital locks are designed to work with common Australian door preparations, tubular latches and mortice locks, making retrofit installations possible. However, compatibility must be confirmed on a case-by-case basis, considering factors such as door thickness, backset, lock case type and fire rating. Share your door details or hardware schedule with John Barnes Group and we can help assess whether a McGrath solution will suit your existing doors.
