McGrath Locks 2.0mm Triangle Screwdriver - Magnetic Tip - Red Handle
This McGrath Locks 2.0mm triangle screwdriver is the correct servicing tool for removing and refitting the battery compartment cover on the McGrath Ascot smart lock. The Ascot uses a 2.0mm triangular security screw rather than the Torx screw found on the rest of the McGrath range, so it needs this dedicated triangle tip.
The magnetic tip holds the small cover screws in place during removal and refitting - useful when you are working on an external gate lock and do not want to lose a screw in the grass or on the driveway.
This product is a replacement tool only. It does not include a lock, batteries, or fasteners. It is the counterpart to the blue-handled Torx screwdriver used on all other McGrath locks.

Using a Non-Ascot McGrath Lock?
Every McGrath lock other than the Ascot uses a Torx battery-cover screw, not a triangle screw. For those models - Albion, Windsor, Hamilton, Stafford, Bardon, ULTRA-SECUA and the rest - you need the blue-handled tool instead: View the Torx Screwdriver.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which McGrath lock does this tool suit?
The McGrath Ascot only. Every other McGrath lock uses a Torx screw and needs the blue-handled Torx screwdriver instead.
The McGrath Ascot only. Every other McGrath lock uses a Torx screw and needs the blue-handled Torx screwdriver instead.
Why does the Ascot use a different screw to the other locks?
The Ascot is a double-sided tubular lock designed for external gate use, and its battery cover uses a 2.0mm triangular security screw for a flush, tamper-resistant fit. A Torx tip will not seat in a triangle recess, so the correct triangle tool is needed. For general context on battery life and what actually needs attention over a lock's life, see The Realities of Electronic Door Locks.

The Ascot batteries are flat - can I still get in?
Yes. The Ascot accepts a mechanical key override via its keyed cylinder. Once you are back in, this tool lets you open the cover to fit fresh cells. See Mechanical Key Override on Smart Locks for what to do when the battery dies, and the Ascot keyed cylinder if you need a spare.

Additional Information
Red vs Blue - Know Before You Order
McGrath colour-codes the two servicing tools: red = 2.0mm triangle (this tool, Ascot only) and blue = Torx (all other models). Ordering by colour is the quickest way to get the right one. The Ascot is the double-sided tubular model rated for external gates; if that is not your lock, you almost certainly need the blue Torx tool.

Battery Servicing
Keeping fresh batteries in the lock is the single most effective bit of maintenance you can do - and it matters even more on an external gate lock exposed to the weather. For McGrath's platform battery habits and tips, see TTLock Tips and Tricks - Battery Management, and for realistic expectations on how long a digital lock lasts overall, see How Long Do Digital Door Locks Last?
