McGrath install by Scott from Mount Gambier Locksmiths ๐๐ป
Replacing flick-up bolts on narrow frames has often caused issues in the past, with the lock hitting on the door jamb. The narrow design of the Hamilton Smart Lock and the 33mm backset of the Parasol mortice lock delivered the perfect fit. No cutting into the frame required.
They also paired the lock with a McGrath remote for staff behind the office desk. They were impressed with the speed and responsiveness of the solution.
Happy customer, happy locksmith. Well done Scott ๐
