McGrath Locks Extended Tail Piece and Connector Bar for Grange - Suits Door Thickness 75mm to 100mm
The McGrath Locks Extended Tail Piece and Connector Bar is a thick-door extension kit for the McGrath Grange Entrance Pull Handle with Smart Lock and the McGrath Grange Dummy Entrance Pull Handle. It extends the standard spindle reach to accommodate doors between 75mm and 100mm thick — thicker than the standard door thickness the Grange handles as supplied.
The kit includes an extended tail piece body, a long connecting bar and three fixing screws, providing everything required to complete the installation on a thick door.
Usually same day when ordered before 11am AEST (excluding weekends and QLD public holidays).
This kit is designed for doors between 75mm and 100mm thick. If your door is within standard thickness (typically under 75mm), the Grange handle does not require this extension kit. Measure the full thickness of the door leaf — including any glazing, aluminium frame section or composite core — before purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Only if your door is between 75mm and 100mm thick. The McGrath Grange handle ships with a standard-length spindle and tail piece that suits most residential door thicknesses. If your door exceeds that range — for example a thick solid timber slab, a glazed aluminium commercial door with a heavy frame, or a composite door — this extension kit is required for correct installation.
Yes. This extension kit suits both the Grange Entrance Pull Handle with Smart Lock and the Grange Dummy Entrance Pull Handle. For a double-door installation on thick doors, you would need one kit per leaf.
Measure the full thickness of the door leaf at the point where the handle will be installed — including any glazing panel, aluminium extrusion, composite layers or edge reinforcement. Do not measure the frame or architrave. For further guidance see Check Screen Door Clearance Before Fitting a Smart Lock and the five key measurements guide.
Additional Information
The McGrath Grange is designed primarily for glazed aluminium entrance doors — a door type that frequently presents non-standard thicknesses depending on the frame profile and glazing specification. Where the combined thickness of the aluminium stile section and glazing panel pushes the total door thickness into the 75mm to 100mm range, this extension kit bridges the gap that the standard-length tail piece cannot reach.
For a double-door or gate pair where both the active leaf (Grange smart lock) and the passive leaf (Grange dummy) are on thick doors, one kit is required per leaf. If you are also covering legacy fixing holes, see the Grange scar plate 900 x 75mm or 556 x 64mm options. For installation support on the Gold Coast, our site survey and installation service is available.
