McGrath Kedron Smart Digital Deadbolt - Tempered Glass Screen with Fingerprint, 60/70mm Adjustable Bolt
The McGrath Kedron is a smart digital deadbolt developed for the Australian market. It combines a tempered glass touch keypad with an integrated fingerprint reader, giving fast, keyless access on residential and light-commercial hinged doors while retaining the door's existing handle or latch.
The Kedron is a deadbolt only - it replaces the deadbolt, not the door handle. Access is managed through the McGrath Locks App over Bluetooth as standard, with entry by fingerprint, PIN code, RFID credential, Bluetooth eKey, or mechanical key override. Optional remote access, remote unlocking, and access logs are available when the lock is paired with a compatible McGrath Locks Wi-Fi gateway. A door position sensor is supplied for optional door open/close monitoring and auto-locking logic.
Usually same day if ordered before 11am AEST (excluding weekends and QLD public holidays)

Wi-Fi Remote Access (Optional)
This smart lock does not include native Wi-Fi. Remote access and management are available only when the lock is paired with a compatible McGrath Locks gateway. With a gateway installed, you can remotely unlock the door, issue or revoke access credentials, and view access activity through the McGrath Locks App from anywhere with an internet connection. For a detailed explanation of gateway types, capabilities, and selection guidance, see G2 vs G3 vs G4 vs G5: Smart Lock Gateways Compared. Compatible gateways: G3 (PoE), G4 (4G SIM), and G5 (5GHz & 2.4GHz Wi-Fi).
Full Specifications
The IP65 rating applies to the external keypad panel only. The interior battery unit is not weather-sealed, so the Kedron is intended for sheltered hinged doors. It is not suitable for fully exposed external pedestrian gates.
