About This Service
Lock installation covers cylinder locks, deadbolts, smart locks, and padlocks for doors and gates. Our handymen drill the lock mortise, install the mechanism, fit the strike plate on the door frame, and test key operation and bolt alignment. For smart lock installations, we handle the wiring, battery setup, and initial code or app configuration. Standard lock installation takes 30-60 minutes.
Most UAE apartment walls are hollow block or drywall over block, which is why fixings matter more than they look. We use the right anchor for the substrate and the load, so mounted items stay where we put them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does lock installation cost in the UAE?
Lock Installation starts from AED 109. That is a starting rate, not a cap — the final figure depends on property size, the condition of what we are working on, and the actual scope once our technician has seen it. You get the confirmed price before any work begins, and nothing is added afterwards.
Can I combine several small jobs into one lock installation booking?
Yes, and it usually works out cheaper. Send us a list — a TV mount, two curtain rails and a wobbly door will typically be done in one visit rather than three separate call-out charges.
Do you supply the materials?
We bring all fixings, anchors, screws and consumables. Items like curtain rails, shelves, mirrors or TV brackets are usually supplied by you, but we can source them and add the cost to the quote if you prefer.
Can I get lock installation outside normal working hours?
Yes. Early morning, evening and weekend slots are available, which most customers booking lock installation prefer over taking time off work. Friday mornings are the one window we generally cannot cover.
What do I need to prepare before lock installation?
Very little. Clear access to the work area, make sure someone over 18 can let the technician in, and secure any pets. Anything specific to lock installation will be listed in your confirmation message so there are no surprises on the day.
Do you provide an invoice for lock installation?
Yes. A itemised tax invoice is issued for every lock installation job, which is what you need for landlord reimbursement, deposit claims or company expense records. Ask at booking if you need it addressed to a company.
