McGrath ULTRA-SECUA Smart Lock — Screen Door
The McGrath ULTRA-SECUA is a purpose-designed digital smart lock for hinged aluminium security screen doors, including single-point and triple-locking designs. It delivers keyless entry via PIN, RFID card or tag, and Bluetooth eKey through the McGrath Locks App, with a mechanical key override included. Unlike standard door smart locks, the ULTRA-SECUA is engineered for the specific challenges of screen door installation — narrow aluminium frames, multi-point locking bars, and the requirement for the internal handle to remain secure against tampering through the mesh.
The lock is supplied with a screen door mortice lock and strike plate and is designed to retrofit most existing screen door mortice configurations. The external housing carries an IP66 rating for outdoor exposure. This is the standard single-lock version — for coordinated unlocking with a main door smart lock, see the ULTRA-SECUA Dual Unlock.
Same day if ordered before 11am AEST (excluding weekends and QLD public holidays)
The ULTRA-SECUA installation is more complex than a standard door smart lock. Correct spindle selection depends on screen door thickness (19-25 mm or 25-30 mm). Incorrect hub alignment will prevent the lock from functioning. Terry's recommends professional installation for this product. For our supply + install service, see Site Survey & Installation Services.
The ULTRA-SECUA suits single and multi-point hinge security and screen door locks. However, on some existing triple lock kits, the top and bottom locks — including the plastic adaptor — need to be reversed. This allows the triple kit to be locked from the inside by lifting the ULTRA-SECUA interior handle upwards. Failure to reverse these components will prevent the multi-point bars from operating correctly. Compatibility also depends on whether your triple kit uses rigid rods or flexible cables — cable-based kits are not compatible. For full guidance including brand-specific notes, see Triple Lock Kits — Cables vs Rods.
If you want your screen door and main door to unlock together in a single action, see the McGrath ULTRA-SECUA Dual Unlock Smart Lock. For a plain-English explanation of Dual Unlock and when it makes sense, see What Dual Unlock Actually Does.

Suitable Uses

- Retrofit replacement for existing screen door mortice locks (Whitco, Austral, Doric, Lockwood-compatible)
- Home, office, or light-commercial applications where screen door access management is required

Installation & Compatibility
- Designed for hinged security screen doors. Not intended for sliding screen doors without specialist consultation.
- Compatible with most screen door mortice locks including Whitco, Austral, Doric, and Lockwood.
- Spindle selection depends on screen door thickness: 51 mm spindle for 19-25 mm doors; 57 mm spindle for 25-30 mm doors.
- Handing is field-changeable — rotate the interior handle 90 degrees with a screwdriver to change from left to right hand (or vice versa). See our guide to field-reversible handing for more detail.
- On triple-locking security screens, the top and bottom lock components (including the plastic adaptor) may need to be reversed to allow the interior handle to operate the multi-point bars correctly. Compatibility depends on rod vs cable linkage — see our cables vs rods guide.
- Always check the clearance between your security screen and main door before ordering. See Check the Clearance Between Screen Door & Main Door for guidance. See also Chapter 02 — Measuring Your Door for the full set of pre-purchase measurements.
Handle Direction Adjustment
The ULTRA-SECUA suits both left-hand and right-hand opening screen doors. Handing is field-changeable without tools beyond a screwdriver — no need to order a specific handed version.
To change the handle direction:
- Using a screwdriver, loosen the inside screw on the interior assembly.
- Rotate the interior handle 90° to the left or right as required.
- Retighten the screw securely.
Handing should be confirmed during installation. If in doubt, a locksmith can set this correctly as part of the installation process.

Battery, Power & Backup Access
- Powered by 2 x 3V lithium batteries (included with the lock).
- Typical battery life 36-48 months depending on usage.
- Low battery alerts provided audibly at the lock and within the McGrath Locks App.
- Terry's strongly recommends using Duracell batteries when replacements are required. Do not mix old and new batteries.

Wi-Fi Remote Access (Optional)
This smart lock does not include native Wi-Fi connectivity. Remote access and management features are available only when the lock is paired with a compatible McGrath Locks gateway. When a gateway is installed, users can remotely unlock the screen door, issue or revoke credentials, and view access activity through the McGrath Locks App from anywhere with an internet connection.
For guidance on selecting the right gateway model, see our comparison of all four TTLock-platform gateway generations or the McGrath gateway comparison. For the difference between Bluetooth-only and gateway-connected operation, see Chapter 14 — Bluetooth vs Gateway.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the ULTRA-SECUA suitable for sliding screen doors?
The ULTRA-SECUA is designed for hinged screen doors. Sliding screen door applications should not be attempted without specialist consultation first. If you have a sliding screen door, contact Terry's before ordering to discuss options.
What door thickness does the ULTRA-SECUA suit?
The lock suits screen doors from 19 mm to 30 mm thick. Spindle selection is determined by door thickness: the 51 mm spindle suits 19-25 mm doors, and the 57 mm spindle suits 25-30 mm doors. Before ordering, confirm the thickness of your screen door and check the clearance between the screen and main door. See Check the Clearance Between Screen Door & Main Door for a step-by-step guide, and Chapter 02 — Measuring Your Door for the full set of pre-purchase measurements.
Can this be installed on a triple-locking security screen door?
Yes, but compatibility depends on your existing kit type. The first thing to check is whether your triple kit uses rigid rods or flexible cables — cable-based kits are not compatible with the ULTRA-SECUA. For rod-based kits, brand-specific modifications are typically required. This is why Terry's recommends professional installation. See the full guide: Triple Lock Kits — Cables vs Rods.
What is the difference between this and the Dual Unlock model?
This is the standard ULTRA-SECUA — it operates as an independent screen door smart lock. The Dual Unlock version adds a BLE pairing feature that allows the screen door lock and a compatible main door smart lock to unlock simultaneously in a single action. For a clear explanation of what Dual Unlock does and when it makes sense, see What Dual Unlock Actually Does.
Does the lock require internet access to operate?
No. The lock operates locally via Bluetooth using the McGrath Locks App. No internet connection is required for day-to-day access. Remote management, remote unlocking, and credential issuance from outside the property require an optional Wi-Fi gateway. See Chapter 14 — Bluetooth vs Gateway for a full explanation of what changes when a gateway is added.
Additional Information
This is one of the more technically involved smart lock installations available. Beyond standard exterior and interior assembly, the installer must select the correct spindle for door thickness, correctly align the hub, and on triple-locking screens potentially reverse the top and bottom lock components. Compatibility with triple locks depends on rod vs cable linkage — see Cables vs Rods — The Key Rule. Terry's strongly recommends professional installation. For details on our supply + install service, see Site Survey & Installation Services.
Insufficient clearance between your security screen and main door can prevent the ULTRA-SECUA from fitting correctly. Before ordering, measure the projection of your existing screen door lock and compare against available clearance. See Check the Clearance Between Screen Door & Main Door for the measurement process.
The external housing carries an IP66 rating, providing resistance to dust ingress and high-pressure water jets. The black finish has been tested to 300 hours salt spray. The internal unit — which houses the battery compartment — is not IP rated and must not be exposed to water or moisture. For a plain-English explanation of IP ratings, see Chapter 11 — Australian Smart Lock Standards.
