Overview

What it is and where it fits

The Bosch ID60C is a lever handle fingerprint lock with PIN, card, key and Wi-Fi app control, and it suits an owner who wants the Bosch name on a simple keyless lock for a shaded main door. It is not part of the German Bosch Smart Home range. It comes from Bosch's smart lock business in China, is built to the Chinese GA 374-2019 lock standard, and is sold in Southeast Asia by Bosch Malaysia. We found no evidence of a separate brand licence, and no Bosch-run sales or service channel in the UAE. You grip the handle, your finger lands on the sensor built into it, and the door opens in one movement. It stores 100 fingerprints, 100 PINs and 100 cards, which covers family, maids and drivers. The Smart Life app over Wi-Fi adds access logs, alerts and remote guest codes, with no hub needed. Four AA batteries power it, with a USB-C port for emergency power. The lock uses its own 6068 mortise, a Chinese layout, so most Dubai doors with a European DIN mortise need re-routing, which we check first. Some online listings mention face recognition and a camera, but this model has neither. Bosch rates it only to 55°C, so it is a poor pick for a door in direct sun.

  • Grip the handle and the built-in fingerprint sensor opens the door
  • Room for 100 fingerprints, 100 PINs and 100 cards for family and staff
  • Wi-Fi Smart Life app for access logs, alerts and guest codes, no hub
  • Runs on four AA batteries with a USB-C port for emergency power

What to check before you order

The ID60C brings its own 6068 mortise, a Chinese layout with a 60 mm backset and 68 mm between the handle and the cylinder. Most Dubai doors come with a European DIN mortise at 72 mm centres, so the old lock comes out and the door usually needs re-routing and new holes. It suits timber and steel doors from 40 to 90 mm thick, and it supports top and bottom hook bolts on multi-point security doors. Bosch rates it from -25°C to 55°C, which is a lower ceiling than many digital locks. A west-facing villa door in July can pass that on the panel surface, so we fit it on shaded doors or doors off an indoor corridor. Tower apartment doors are often fire-rated and need building management approval, and tenants need landlord consent. Warranty and service in the UAE run through the seller, not Bosch.

Bosch in the UAE. Bosch-branded digital locks from Bosch's smart-lock business in China, sold in the UAE through a distributor on Amazon.ae. There is no Bosch-run lock sales or service operation in the UAE, so support runs through the seller. The locks we list are rated to 55°C, so we recommend them for shaded or covered doors.

Answers

Questions about the Bosch ID60C Fingerprint Smart Lock

What is the Bosch ID60C smart lock?
Chevron down icon
It is a flat-panel lever handle smart lock with a fingerprint sensor built into the handle, a touch keypad, an IC card reader and a mechanical backup key. The C version adds Wi-Fi control through the Smart Life app. It replaces your door's mortise lock with its own 6068 lock body.

How much does the Bosch ID60C cost in Dubai?
Chevron down icon
We found it at AED 1,850 on Amazon.ae, which was the lowest genuine in-stock UAE price at our last check. Stock was limited, with four units showing. Installation is extra, and a door needing a new mortise pocket takes more labour.

Who actually makes Bosch smart locks?
Chevron down icon
They come from Bosch's own smart lock business in China, marketed there as Bosch Smart Life, and are sold in Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam by Robert Bosch Sdn. Bhd. We found no evidence of a third-party licence. They are not part of the German Bosch Smart Home system.
Contact us
Contact us
Is there official Bosch support for this lock in the UAE?
Chevron down icon
Not that we could find. Bosch's smart lock website covers Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam only. In the UAE the lock is sold by a private distributor through Amazon.ae, so warranty and repairs go through that seller, not Bosch Middle East.

Does the ID60C have face recognition or a camera?
Chevron down icon
No. Bosch's own specification sheet lists fingerprint, PIN, card, key and optional network control only. Some online listings mention face recognition, an HD camera or a 5000 mAh battery, and those details do not match this model. If you want face unlock, look at the Philips DDL702-FVP.
Contact us

Is the ID60C a push-pull lock?
Chevron down icon
No. It is a lever handle lock. You press the handle down to open, and the fingerprint sensor sits on the handle where your finger naturally rests. Push-pull locks such as the Philips DDL702-FVP have a vertical bar handle instead.

Will the Bosch ID60C fit my door?
Chevron down icon
It fits timber and steel doors from 40 to 90 mm thick, but it uses a Chinese 6068 mortise. Most Dubai doors have a European DIN mortise with 72 mm centres, so we usually re-route the door edge and drill new holes. We measure first and tell you before you buy.
Contact us
Contact us
Does it work on multi-point villa security doors?
Chevron down icon
Bosch lists support for top and bottom hook bolts, which many steel villa doors use. Whether your existing rods connect depends on the door maker, so we open up the door edge and check before confirming. Some doors need the rod system replaced.
Contact us
Contact us
Can I install it on an apartment door in a tower?
Chevron down icon
Only with building management approval. Most tower entrance doors are fire-rated, and changing the mortise and drilling new holes can breach that rating. Ask management in writing first, and keep their approval on file for your tenancy or owners association.
Contact us
Contact us
I am renting. Can I put this lock on my door?
Chevron down icon
You need your landlord's written consent, because the lock replaces the mortise and usually needs new holes. Keep the original lock to refit when you leave. If the landlord says no, a retrofit lock such as the SwitchBot Lock Ultra is the realistic alternative.
Contact us
Contact us
Which app does the ID60C use?
Chevron down icon
It uses the Smart Life app, the consumer app on the Tuya platform. Through Wi-Fi you can view access logs, get alerts, check the battery and share temporary codes. Fingerprint, PIN and card entry all work without the app.
Contact us
Contact us
Do I need a hub or subscription?
Chevron down icon
No. The ID60C connects to your home Wi-Fi directly and the Smart Life app is free. Make sure the Wi-Fi signal reaches the main door, since a weak signal delays alerts. A doorway far from the router may need a mesh point.
Contact us
Contact us
Does it work with Alexa, Google Home or Apple Home?
Chevron down icon
We could not confirm voice assistant support for this model, and there is no Apple Home or Matter support. Smart Life can link to Alexa and Google for some devices, but do not buy the ID60C expecting voice unlocking. Check in the app after setup.

What happens during a DEWA power cut or internet outage?
Chevron down icon
The door still opens normally, because the lock runs on its own AA batteries. Fingerprint, PIN, card and key keep working. You lose app access, alerts and remote codes until your router and internet come back online.

How long do the batteries last?
Chevron down icon
Bosch does not publish a battery life for the ID60C. UAE sellers quote 6 to 12 months on four AA alkaline batteries, depending on how often the door is used and how much Wi-Fi traffic there is. The lock sounds a warning when voltage drops below 4.8V.
Contact us
Contact us
What if the batteries die when I am outside?
Chevron down icon
Connect a power bank to the USB-C emergency port on the outside panel to wake the lock, then use your fingerprint or PIN. The mechanical key with the Class C cylinder also opens it, so keep a spare key with you or a trusted person.

Can the ID60C handle a Dubai summer?
Chevron down icon
Only in shade. Bosch rates it from -25°C to 55°C, and a dark panel on a sun-facing door can go past 55°C in July and August. Heat also shortens alkaline battery life. We recommend it for covered entrances and doors off indoor corridors.

How secure is the Bosch ID60C?
Chevron down icon
It meets the Chinese GA 374-2019 standard at Security Level B, has a 304 stainless steel bolt, a Class C cylinder, a panel anti-pry alarm and a decoy PIN feature up to 32 digits. A false acceptance rate under 0.001% makes a wrong fingerprint opening very unlikely.

Contact us
How fast is the fingerprint sensor?
Chevron down icon
Bosch specifies a match in under 0.8 seconds using a 508 dpi semiconductor sensor. Because the sensor is on the handle, you grip, match and press in one movement. Very dry or worn fingers can read less reliably, so enrol two fingers per person.
Contact us
Contact us
Can I give access to maids, drivers and guests?
Chevron down icon
Yes. Enrol live-in staff by fingerprint or card, and send temporary codes to visitors from the Smart Life app. With 100 slots each for fingerprints, PINs and cards, even a large villa household with rotating staff has plenty of room.
Contact us
Contact us
How long does installation take, and do you fit it?
Chevron down icon
Yes, we fit it. If the door already has a 6068-style pocket, allow about two hours. Re-routing a European mortise door or working on a steel multi-point door can take half a day. We also connect Wi-Fi and enrol users before leaving.

What warranty does the ID60C have in the UAE?
Chevron down icon
The Amazon.ae listing states a 12-month warranty from the seller. Bosch's two-year smart lock warranty is issued by Robert Bosch Sdn. Bhd. for Southeast Asian purchases, so do not assume it applies to a UAE purchase. Keep your invoice and serial number.

How does it compare with the Yale YDM4109A?
Chevron down icon
Both are handle-style fingerprint mortise locks. The Yale YDM4109A costs more but has established Yale service and parts in the UAE. The Bosch ID60C adds Wi-Fi app control at a lower price, but support depends on a single local distributor.
Contact us
Contact us
Who should not buy the Bosch ID60C?
Chevron down icon
Anyone with a sun-facing main door, anyone who expects Bosch Middle East to handle warranty, and buyers who want face unlock, a camera or Apple Home. If you only need a basic fingerprint lever lock indoors, the Philips DDL615 does that for much less.
