The Melbourne Home Show ran from 17-19 April at the Melbourne 2026 Convention and Exhibition Centre, and it was one of the strongest showings yet for the McGrath Smart Locks brand.
Our team joined McGrath Smart Locks at the event, helping to exhibit across all three days. The stand was positioned right near the front entrance, providing excellent exposure to the tens of thousands of homeowners, renovators and new home buyers passing through each day. It was also a great opportunity to showcase McGrath’s fresh new branding, which was very well received.
Alongside our team, local qualified locksmiths joined the stand each day, something that continues to set McGrath apart and reinforces their reputation as the locksmith’s choice for trade grade smart locks.
The McGrath Trade Grade range was front and centre throughout the show, including newer products like the Grange, Kedron and Ashgrove smart deadbolts. Accessories such as the Keybox, Z Chip and Keypads were also on display, positioning McGrath as a complete smart locking system for Aussie homes.
Amongst several smart lock competitors at the show, McGrath stood out for all the right reasons; an Australian-designed range trusted by locksmiths, a 24-month warranty, and unique features tailored for Australian applications, including fire rated, IP66 and DDA-compliant smart locks.
Consumer response to the range was outstanding, visitors were blown away by the quality and features on offer, giving us great confidence that McGrath’s trade-grade products resonate just as strongly with homeowners as they do with locksmiths. The new catalogue proved a real hit as well.
McGrath Smart Locks are only sold by LSC to trade professionals, not direct to consumers. So we’re thrilled for McGrath to have generated business for locksmiths across the weekend, referring homeowners directly to the locksmiths who stand behind the quality of our trade-grade range, designed here in Australia for Australian homes.
