McGrath Euro Mortice Lock - 60mm Backset - 68mm Pitch - 3 Point Deadbolt - Suits NX6
This McGrath Euro mortice lock body is the heavy-duty 60/68 mortice supplied as standard with the McGrath NX6 and NX6W digital smart locks. It is a mechanical lock body only - it contains no electronics - and is offered here as a standalone replacement or spare for installers and owners who need to swap or service the mortice without replacing the whole lock.
The body carries a three-point deadbolt for solid multi-point latching and a manual privacy turnsnib (thumb turn) that offers additional peace of mind in privacy settings such as hotel and motel rooms. Construction is 1.5 mm SS304 stainless steel throughout the body and latching tongues, with an anti-friction dead latch for smooth everyday operation.
The 60 mm backset and 68 mm centre-to-centre pitch are purpose-built for the McGrath NX6 platform. The mortice accepts a standard European profile cylinder, though a cylinder is not required when the mortice is driven by the NX6 or NX6W smart lock. The part number is ML-SP-M-60/68.
Usually same day if ordered before 11am AEST (excluding weekends and QLD public holidays).
This 60/68 mortice is the body supplied with, and designed specifically to suit:
- McGrath NX6 Digital Smart Lock (gateway-based remote access)
- McGrath NX6W Built-In Wi-Fi Digital Smart Lock
Key Features
- Three-point deadbolt: Multi-point latching engages the frame at three points for greater security and door stability than a single-bolt mortice.
- Purpose-built for the NX6 platform: 60 mm backset and 68 mm centre-to-centre pitch match the McGrath NX6 and NX6W exactly - no adaptation required.
- Heavy-duty SS304 stainless steel: 1.5 mm thick stainless body and latching tongues resist wear and corrosion.
- Anti-friction dead latch: The dead-latching latch closes smoothly and resists loiding (slipping the latch), improving everyday feel and security.
- Manual privacy turnsnib: A thumb turn on the inside throws the bolts for privacy in hotel, motel, and residential settings - lift the handle upward to throw the bolts and lock the door.
- 8 mm square spindle hub: Standard 8 mm hub drives the latch from the smart lock or handle set.
- 500,000-cycle tested: Rated to meet ANSI / BHMA durability standards; passed BHMA Level 2 and Level 3.
- Standard Euro cylinder ready: Accepts a standard European profile lock cylinder - though a cylinder is not required when driven by the NX6 or NX6W.
Suitable Uses
- Replacement mortice for the NX6 or NX6W: The exact body supplied with both locks - the correct choice when servicing or replacing a damaged mortice without buying a complete smart lock.
- New NX6 / NX6W installations: Where a spare or additional mortice body is needed on site.
- Hotel, motel, and short-stay doors: The manual privacy turnsnib supports occupant privacy in accommodation settings.
- Timber and aluminium doors with a 60 mm backset: Standard-stile hinged doors that match the 60/68 configuration. Confirm your backset before ordering - see how to measure your lock backset.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The 60/68 mortice (ML-SP-M-60/68) is the body supplied as standard with both the McGrath NX6 and the NX6W. It is offered here as a standalone replacement or spare.
Not when it is driven by an NX6 or NX6W - the smart lock operates the mortice directly, so no cylinder is required. The mortice does accept a standard European profile cylinder if you want a mechanical key override or are using it in a non-smart application. Keyed override cylinders (keyed alike or keyed to differ) and uncut key blanks are listed in the Accessories and Spares section above. For more on mechanical override, see mechanical key override on smart locks.
The turnsnib is a thumb turn on the inside of the door that throws the mortice bolts for privacy - useful in hotel, motel, and residential settings. When engaged it holds the door locked from inside. For a detailed explanation of how internal privacy snibs behave on smart-lock-driven doors, read what the internal snib (secure lock) actually disables.
This is a 60 mm backset, 68 mm centre-to-centre Euro mortice with a 255 mm x 24 mm faceplate. It suits standard-stile timber and aluminium hinged doors prepared for the NX6 / NX6W. Confirm your backset and faceplate cut-out against the Dimensions drawing before ordering - see also Chapter 02 - Measuring Your Door.
No. This 60/68 body is specific to the NX6 platform. Other McGrath locks use different backsets, pitches, spindle heights, or faceplates - see the McGrath Mortice Lock Family table above to find the correct body for the A210, A231, A236, NX5, NX1, or Albion.
Additional Information
Mechanical body only: This product is the mortice lock body - it contains no electronics, keypad, battery, or app hardware. It is the mechanical part that the McGrath NX6 or NX6W drives. If you are looking for the complete smart lock, see the NX6 and NX6W listings linked above.
Platform-specific fit: The 60/68 configuration is purpose-built for the NX6 series. Do not order this body for an A210, A231, A236, NX5, NX1, or Albion - those platforms use different mortice bodies. Confirm the backset, pitch, and faceplate against your existing hardware or the Dimensions drawing before ordering.
Installation: The mortice ships with a strike plate, strike plate pocket, and fixing screws. Terry's recommends professional installation for correct alignment of the mortice case and strike, particularly when retrofitting into an existing door prep. Incorrect mortice or strike alignment is a common cause of locking faults - see 3 common DIY installation mistakes and easy fixes.
