Professional fitting, configuration, and testing
A smart lock should give you secure, convenient access from the first day, not a loose handle,
stiff latch, misaligned mortise, or features that were never configured properly. JustCare provides
professional smart lock installation for apartments, villas, offices,
rental properties, and holiday homes across Dubai.
Our smart door lock installation service covers more than basic fitting.
We first check the door and lock compatibility, then complete the required installation,
alignment, configuration, and testing. Depending on the model, we can also assist with
fingerprint setup, PIN code setup, RFID card setup, mobile app setup, and supported
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity.
Already purchased a lock somewhere else? That is not a problem. Customer-supplied smart
lock installation is available for compatible models, so you do not need to buy the lock
from JustCare to book professional fitting.
Choose the service that fits your situation
You may already own a smart lock, want to purchase a new lock with installation, or simply
need professional advice before choosing one. Our smart lock installation service is structured
around these different situations so the door and lock can be checked before work begins.
Send us photos of your new lock, the front and edge of the door, and the existing hardware.
We will review the likely smart lock compatibility and fitting requirements before confirming
the appointment. Compatible locks purchased from other retailers are welcome.
Choose from suitable fingerprint, keypad, biometric, app-controlled, camera, Wi-Fi,
and Bluetooth smart locks, then arrange professional installation for the selected model.
We can help match the features you want with the type of door you have.
Not every smart lock fits every door. Share your door type, existing lock, preferred access
methods, and approximate budget, and our team can help shortlist suitable options before
you purchase.
Transparent pricing based on the actual work
The smart lock installation cost in Dubai depends mainly on the door material,
existing cutout, mortise and backset dimensions, lock model, and the amount of drilling,
cutting, or alignment required. A straightforward retrofit on a suitable wooden door usually
costs less than a full mortise installation or specialist aluminium-door fitting.
Instead of giving every customer the same estimate, we recommend sending clear door and lock
photos first. This allows us to identify the likely scope of work and provide a more accurate
smart lock installation price in Dubai before the technician arrives.
| Installation type | Starting price | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| Wooden-door retrofit installation | AED 250 | Compatible retrofit smart lock installation requiring limited door modification. |
| Wooden door with additional modification | AED 350 | Doors requiring extra drilling, cutting, mortise adjustment, new holes, or alignment work. |
| Aluminium door installation | AED 450–550 | Compatible aluminium profiles requiring specialist fitting and door-specific modification. |
Smart lock product cost is separate unless you choose a lock together with installation.

smart door lock price and installation guide.
Professional installation from door check to handover
Professional smart lock installation involves more than mounting two electronic panels.
The lock body, mortise, spindle, handles, latch, strike plate, door frame, and electronic
access features all need to work together. Our installation process therefore covers both
the mechanical fitting and supported smart lock setup.
Before smart lock fitting begins, the technician checks the door material, thickness,
existing cutout, mortise, backset, handle direction, lock body, and frame alignment.
These checks help confirm that the selected model can be installed safely and correctly.
Where replacement is required, the existing lock and relevant hardware are carefully removed.
The door is then assessed and prepared for the new electronic locking system while avoiding
unnecessary modification wherever possible.
Smart lock door fitting may involve positioning the mortise, spindle, front and rear panels,
handles, latch, and strike plate. Correct alignment is important for smooth operation and
helps prevent unnecessary resistance when locking or unlocking the door.
Depending on the model, the technician can assist with fingerprint registration,
PIN codes, RFID cards, administrator settings, mobile app pairing, Bluetooth pairing,
Wi-Fi connectivity, and other supported smart lock configuration options.
After fitting, the smart lock technician checks the handle, latch, mortise movement,
locking response, door alignment, electronic access methods, and available backup entry
options before the installation is completed.
You are shown how to use the main access methods, manage everyday entry, understand
battery notifications, use the mechanical backup option where available, and operate
the installed lock confidently.
Check compatibility before drilling the door
A smart lock can have excellent features and still be the wrong choice for a particular door.
Proper smart lock compatibility depends on physical dimensions, locking hardware, door material,
opening direction, and the amount of safe modification available, not simply the brand or appearance.
The front panel, rear panel, spindle, connecting cable, and fixing screws must support
the measured door thickness. A lock designed for one thickness range may not fit another
without the correct components.
Smart lock mortise installation depends on the internal lock-body dimensions, latch and
bolt positions, backset, and available space inside the door. Existing cutouts may sometimes
be reused; other installations require careful modification.
Left-opening and right-opening doors can require different handle positions or model-specific
configuration. The opening direction should therefore be confirmed before fitting begins.
Wooden door smart lock installation and aluminium door smart lock installation require
different tools, cutting methods, fixings, and compatibility checks. The same installation
approach should not be assumed for every door.
Even a correctly mounted lock can feel difficult to operate if the latch, bolts, and strike
plate do not meet the frame accurately. Alignment is checked as part of professional
smart door lock installation.
Bluetooth smart lock installation may only require local phone pairing, while Wi-Fi smart
lock installation can depend on built-in Wi-Fi, a separate gateway, or a compatible smart-home
hub. Requirements vary by model.
Learn more about measurements, mortise fitting, door preparation, and electronic setup in our guide explaining
how smart lock installation works.
Installation based on door construction
Wooden entrance doors are compatible with many fingerprint, keypad, RFID, biometric,
electronic, and app-controlled locks. The installation scope depends on whether the new
model matches the existing lock preparation or requires new drilling, cutting, or mortise work.
Aluminium door profiles often have narrower internal spaces and specialised locking systems.
Electronic door lock installation on aluminium therefore requires careful checking of the
profile width, existing mechanism, available fixing space, and selected smart lock model.
A retrofit smart lock works with some of the door’s existing hardware rather than replacing
the complete locking system. Where the specifications match, this approach can reduce
door modification and provide a practical upgrade from conventional key access.
Full mortise smart lock installation replaces more of the existing mechanical hardware
and can require accurate drilling, cutting, mortise preparation, handle positioning,
strike-plate adjustment, and final alignment.
A clear process before, during and after fitting
A reliable smart door lock installation starts before the technician reaches your property.
Reviewing the door and selected model first helps identify obvious compatibility issues,
likely door modification, and the appropriate installation price before work begins.
Send photos of the door front, door edge, existing lock and handles, together with the
new smart lock model and your Dubai installation location.
We review the likely door material, thickness, mortise format, handle direction,
existing hardware, and smart lock compatibility before confirming the job.
The expected installation type, starting price, required work, and available appointment
are confirmed so you know what to expect before the technician arrives.
Existing hardware is removed where necessary, and the smart lock is fitted, aligned,
and secured. Required door lock modification is carried out according to the confirmed scope.
Supported fingerprints, PIN codes, RFID cards, app-controlled access, administrator settings,
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and gateway functions are configured where applicable.
Mechanical and electronic functions are tested, then you are shown how to use the main
entry methods, backup access, and everyday smart lock controls.
See original installation work
Watch original installation footage from JustCare to see how a smart lock is positioned,
fitted, aligned, and checked on a real door. It gives you a clearer idea of the workmanship
involved than generic installation illustrations or manufacturer images.
Every door, mortise, and smart lock model is different, so the exact fitting process can vary.
We still recommend a photo-based compatibility assessment before confirming your appointment.
Configure the access methods your lock supports
Digital door lock installation does not end when the hardware is mounted. Depending on the model,
the electronic access methods also need to be registered and tested. We can assist with
fingerprint smart lock installation, biometric lock installation, keypad lock installation,
electronic smart lock installation, and app-controlled smart lock installation on compatible systems.
Feature availability depends on the selected lock. Some models require a separate gateway,
hub, account, or compatible smart-home platform for remote access, so check the product
specifications before ordering.
Need the smart lock as well?
If you have not chosen a lock yet, start with the features and door compatibility rather than
appearance alone. Depending on your priorities, you may prefer simple fingerprint entry,
keypad access, a retrofit design, mobile app control, a built-in camera, or advanced
biometric unlocking such as face or palm-vein recognition.
A practical smart lock for customers who want multiple access methods and app-supported
control in a single system for a compatible entrance door.
A slim digital lock offering fingerprint, PIN, RFID card, and mechanical-key access
for suitable door profiles and installation conditions.
A retrofit-focused smart lock option offering fingerprint, passcode, NFC, and supported
smart-home integrations without necessarily replacing the complete lock body.
An advanced entrance lock combining biometric access, visitor visibility, and connected
features for customers looking for more than basic keyless entry.
Smart access for residential and commercial properties
Apartment smart lock installation can provide convenient keyless access for residents,
family members, guests, and authorised service providers. For rental apartment smart lock
installation, door compatibility and any relevant building or tenancy requirements should
be considered before modifying the entrance door.
Villa smart lock installation is available for compatible main entrances and selected
secondary doors. Options can include fingerprint, PIN, RFID, app access, camera features,
and advanced biometric entry depending on the chosen model.
Office smart lock installation can provide PIN, fingerprint, RFID, or app-managed access
for compatible doors, helping businesses control authorised staff entry without relying
only on conventional keys.
Compatible locks with temporary codes and app-managed access can simplify guest entry
and reduce physical key handovers for holiday homes and managed rental properties.

Installation based on the door, not guesswork
Choosing a smart lock installer in Dubai should be about more than finding someone who can
drill a door. A professional smart lock installer should understand mechanical compatibility,
mortise fitting, electronic configuration, access setup, and final alignment before handing
the lock back to the customer.
We encourage customers to send door and lock photos before booking. This helps identify
obvious compatibility concerns before a technician visits and reduces the risk of buying
an unsuitable model.
Prices are based on the actual installation type. If drilling, cutting, mortise adjustment,
new holes, or specialist door modification is required, the additional scope can be
explained before work proceeds.
You can book professional installation for a compatible smart lock purchased independently
or choose a suitable model directly from JustCare with installation support.
Supported fingerprint, PIN, RFID card, app, administrator, and connectivity features can
be configured and checked during the installation appointment instead of leaving you
to complete the setup alone.
Our professional smart lock installers support selected compatible models from brands
including Zeki, Philips, Aqara, EZVIZ, Yale, Samsung, Eufy, and smart locks using
compatible Tuya or TTLock systems.
Before completing the smart lock installation service, the technician checks the main
locking functions and explains the supported access methods and backup options so you
know how to operate the lock confidently.

choosing a professional smart lock installer
and the checks that should happen before fitting begins.
A few photos can prevent the wrong installation
A clear compatibility check starts with useful information. Sending the correct door
and lock photos makes it easier to understand the existing hardware, estimate the required
fitting work, and recommend the appropriate smart lock installation service in Dubai.
Answers to common installation questions
Smart lock installation starts from AED 250 for a compatible retrofit lock on a wooden door.
Wooden doors requiring additional holes, drilling, cutting, mortise adjustment, or modification
are generally AED 350. Aluminium-door installation typically starts from AED 450 and may reach
AED 550 depending on the complexity of the job.
Yes. Customer-supplied smart lock installation is available when the selected model is
compatible with the door. Send photos of the lock, door front, door edge, existing mortise,
and current handles before booking so the fitting requirements can be reviewed.
Yes, many fingerprint, keypad, digital, and biometric smart locks can be fitted to wooden doors.
Suitability depends on the door thickness, existing cutout, mortise and backset dimensions,
handle direction, frame alignment, and selected lock model.
Yes, selected smart locks can be installed on compatible aluminium doors. Aluminium profiles
vary significantly in width, internal space, and locking mechanism, so photos and measurements
should be checked before confirming installation.
Where supported by the lock, the technician can assist with fingerprint setup, PIN code setup,
RFID card setup, administrator access, mobile app setup, Bluetooth pairing, and supported
Wi-Fi or gateway configuration.
No. Some retrofit smart locks can use part of the existing cylinder or door hardware and may
require little modification. Full mortise models are more likely to require drilling, cutting,
mortise work, new fixing points, or strike-plate adjustment.
Installation time depends on the door construction, existing lock, selected model, and amount
of modification required. A straightforward retrofit fitting generally takes less time than
a full-mortise installation involving cutting, drilling, and additional alignment work.
Installation support is available for selected compatible models from Zeki, Philips, Aqara,
EZVIZ, Yale, Samsung, Eufy, and other smart lock systems, including compatible Tuya and TTLock
models. Door compatibility still needs to be confirmed for each installation.
Yes. You can purchase a suitable smart lock from JustCare with professional installation
support, or book installation for a compatible lock you already own. If you have not selected
a model yet, our team can help narrow down suitable options based on your door and preferred features.
