A lost key or a shared key is a real problem for any Dubai home. Apartments, villas and offices all use different doors and follow different building rules. Smart lock installation covers fingerprint, keypad and app locks. Message us on WhatsApp at any hour, 24/7, with a photo of your door. You then receive next steps and a clear estimate before any work starts.
Message us on WhatsApp or call 056 828 4120. Send a photo of the door and the lock side. The line is open 24/7.
Smart lock installation means fitting an electronic lock to your door and setting it up. The lock opens with a fingerprint, a PIN code, a card or a phone app. Many models also keep a normal key as a back-up.
The lock must suit the door. Door thickness, the existing lock case and the cut-out in the door all matter. A lock that looks right online may not fit a door in a Dubai tower or villa.
A smart lock also changes how you share access. You can give a guest, cleaner or tenant a code and remove it later. This helps with rentals and holiday homes.
This page covers fitting and setup. If your current lock is stuck or broken, read lock repair first. For a lockout at night, see emergency locksmith. Door and hinge faults are on door repair.
Not sure which type suits your door? Send a photo of the door edge and your current lock.
Based on market pricing, costs can vary depending on vehicle or lock type, security technology, replacement requirements, service complexity, and parts required. Fitting and the lock itself are priced separately. The table shows ranges published by Dubai providers.
| Job | Typical market range | What changes the price |
|---|---|---|
| Fitting only, lock supplied by you | About AED 150 to 350 per door | Door type, extra cut-out work |
| Keypad lock, device | About AED 450 or more | Brand, features |
| Fingerprint and app lock, device | About AED 800 or more | Brand, app features |
| Wi-Fi smart lock, device | About AED 2,000 or more | Brand, camera or hub |

Heat and humidity are hard on electronics. Dust and sea air can clog a fingerprint sensor. A lock on a sunny balcony or villa door ages faster than one inside a tower corridor.
Many towers and communities have rules on door changes. Ask your landlord or building management before you change a lock in a rented flat. Keep the old lock so it can go back later.
Power and Wi-Fi cuts happen. Choose a lock with a key or PIN back-up, and change the batteries early. A warning beep usually means the batteries are low.
Smart lock questions come up often in these communities.

Fitting alone is about AED 150 to 350 per door in market listings. The lock itself costs extra, from about AED 450 for a keypad model. Send a photo and the lock model, and you get an estimate before any work starts.
Yes. The phone and WhatsApp line is open 24/7. You can send a photo of the door at any hour. Next steps and the estimate come back before any work starts.
It depends on the door and the lock. A door that needs extra cut-out work takes longer than one with a ready hole. A fixed time cannot be given before the door and lock are known.
Often yes, but ask your landlord or building management first. A smart deadbolt that fits over the old lock is common in rentals. Keep the original lock so it can be put back.
Most keypad and fingerprint locks run on batteries, so a power cut does not stop them. App features need Wi-Fi to work. Choose a model that also has a key or PIN back-up for those moments.
Often yes. Send the brand, model and a photo of the door and lock. Fit depends on door thickness and the cut-out. We explain what is possible before any work starts.
Most locks warn you with a beep or a light first. Many have a spare key or a port for a power bank. Change batteries at the first warning, and keep spares at home.
Sometimes. Glass doors need clamp-style locks, and aluminium frames can be too thin for a standard body. Send photos of the door edge. See glass door repair and aluminium door repair for those doors.
Usually yes, if the lock model allows it. Most locks have a reset button or an admin code. Send the model name and we explain the steps before any work starts.
