McGrath Locks ML Windsor Fire Rated
I was searching for a digital locks that can be installed on apartment unit's entry door, however the hurdles of fire rating (annual compliance) was an ongoing barrier. The McGrath Windsor digital lock was the only unit which had fire rating compliance and the added features which suited my needs. Very happy with the product (quality and software features) and a shout-out to the seller Terry's Gold Coast Smart Locks, as their post-purchse support was awesome. They even made sure after I had received my order, that I was happy with my purchase and asked if I had any enquiries. Great after sales support is always a big plus! I would highly recommend the product and even more on the Seller. The product's battery life is still uncertain, but the user can always check the battery level via the app, only time will tell on the duration of the battery and the durability of the product. But so far so good.
