McGrath X3 Digital Smart Deadbolt
The McGrath X3 is a compact digital smart deadbolt designed to add secure, keyless access to hinged timber and aluminium doors without replacing existing handle hardware. It is ideal as a primary deadbolt or as a secondary locking point paired with a passage or privacy handle.
Managed through the McGrath Locks App using Bluetooth as standard, the X3 allows access via PIN codes, RFID credentials, fingerprint recognition, Bluetooth eKeys, and a mechanical key override. Optional remote access can be enabled by pairing the lock with a compatible McGrath Locks Wi-Fi gateway.
Usually same day if ordered before 11am AEST (excluding weekends and QLD public holidays)

X3 Digital 60/70mm Adjustable Deadbolt
Found the product does all that is stated by many reviews. The significant issue found during the installation was the size (length) of the three 5mm screws that attach the “Back body” to the mounting plate. The screws provided are not long enough to perform the necessary action. I am not sure if others have found the same issue.
