Overview

What it is and where it fits

The igloohome Lockbox (SK4) is a smart key box, not a door lock. It suits Dubai holiday-home hosts, landlords and families who need to pass keys, access cards or a car fob to guests, cleaners or contractors without meeting them. It is igloohome's newest lockbox and the one you can buy in the UAE today, since the older Keybox 3E has no in-stock offer here. You open it with a PIN on its physical keypad or with a Bluetooth key in the igloohome app. The codes work with no internet. You create a one-time, dated, recurring or permanent PIN in the app, send it by message, and the box checks it by itself. It holds up to 200 PIN codes and keeps 2,000 log entries. Inside there is room for several keys, a card and a fob. Four AAA batteries last 12 to 16 months, and a USB-C power bank wakes it if they run flat. It is rated IP66 against dust and water and IK07 against knocks. Remote opening and live logs need the igloohome Wi-Fi Bridge, about AED 349. There is no shackle, so it screws to a wall. That means drilling, which many tower corridors do not allow without building management approval. Its rating stops at 50°C, so it needs shade in a Dubai summer. Skip it if you cannot drill, or if a smart lock on the door itself would do the job better.

  • Guests type a PIN you sent them, with no app and no internet needed
  • Codes can be one-time, limited to set dates, recurring or permanent
  • Holds keys, a building access card and a car fob in a weatherproof box
  • Runs over a year on AAA batteries, with a USB-C backup if they go flat

What to check before you order

The Lockbox fits best at a villa or townhouse: on the boundary wall by the gate, or in a shaded porch near the front door. Keep it out of direct sun. igloohome rates it from -20 to 50°C, and a dark box on a west-facing wall goes past that in July, which also drains the AAA batteries faster. IP66 means dust storms and the odd rain shower are fine. In apartment towers, a box screwed to the corridor wall usually needs building management approval, and many buildings refuse. A key may not get a guest past the lobby either, because towers often want an access card or guest registration at security. The box can hold the card, but it does not replace DTCM guest registration. Tenants need the landlord's approval to drill. Power cuts do not affect it. If you add the Wi-Fi Bridge, it needs a socket close to the box, which is hard at a gate far from the house.

Answers

Questions about the igloohome Lockbox (SK4) Smart Key Box

What is the igloohome Lockbox (SK4)?
Chevron down icon
It is a small, weatherproof smart key box that screws to a wall and opens with a PIN code or a Bluetooth key. You put house keys, an access card or a car fob inside, then send the person a code. It does not lock your door, it only secures the keys.

How much is the igloohome Lockbox in the UAE?
Chevron down icon
It is AED 543 on Amazon.ae, sold through the Amazon Global Store from Amazon UK with import charges included, and it was in stock when we checked in September 2026. Delivery added about AED 50. The optional Wi-Fi Bridge costs about AED 349 on Amazon.ae.

Is this the same as the igloohome Keybox 3E?
Chevron down icon
No, the Lockbox SK4 is igloohome's newer key box. The Keybox 3E listing on Amazon.ae had no in-stock offer when we checked, so we list the Lockbox instead. It has a push-button keypad, works with an Apple Watch and wakes from a USB-C power bank if the batteries die.

What is the difference between the Lockbox and the Keybox 3?
Chevron down icon
The main practical difference is mounting. The Keybox 3 comes with shackles, so it can hang on a door handle or railing without drilling. The Lockbox has no shackle and must be screwed to a wall. The Lockbox was also cheaper on Amazon.ae when we checked, AED 543 against AED 680.

How does a guest open the Lockbox?
Chevron down icon
They type the PIN code you sent them on the keypad, and the front opens. They do not need the igloohome app or a phone signal. People you trust more can get a Bluetooth key instead, which opens the box from their own phone through the app.

Does it need Wi-Fi, a hub or a subscription?
Chevron down icon
No. The Lockbox works on its own with offline PIN codes and Bluetooth, and there is no monthly fee for home use. The igloohome Wi-Fi Bridge is optional. Add it only if you want to open the box remotely or see each entry live on your phone.

Contact us
How do the offline PIN codes work?
Chevron down icon
igloohome calls it algoPIN. The box and the app share a secure algorithm, so the app can make a valid code without contacting the box. You pick a one-time, date-range, recurring or permanent code and send it by WhatsApp or text. The box checks the code on its own.
Contact us
Contact us
Can I cancel a code before it expires?
Chevron down icon
Yes. One-time and dated codes expire by themselves. To cancel a permanent or recurring code early, delete it in the igloohome app and then sync with the box over Bluetooth while you are near it. With the Wi-Fi Bridge installed, you can do this remotely.

Is the Lockbox good for a DTCM holiday home or Airbnb?
Chevron down icon
Yes, it solves the late-night key handover. Each guest gets a code that only works during their stay. It does not replace the guest registration a DTCM-licensed holiday home still has to complete, and in towers the lobby may still need an access card, which you can leave inside.

Can I mount it in my apartment building corridor?
Chevron down icon
Only with building management approval. Most Dubai towers control what goes on corridor walls, and some ban key boxes outright for security. Ask first, in writing. If they refuse, a smart lock on your own apartment door, where allowed, may be the better route.
Contact us
Contact us
Can a tenant install the igloohome Lockbox?
Chevron down icon
A tenant can, but it needs four screws into a wall, so get the landlord's approval before drilling, and the building's approval in a tower. When you move out, the holes need filling. If drilling is not possible, look at a key box with a shackle that hangs on a handle or railing.

Where is the best place to fit it at a villa?
Chevron down icon
On a shaded wall near the gate or the front door, at a comfortable height for typing a code. Avoid west-facing walls in full afternoon sun and spots where irrigation sprinklers hit it. Make sure it is not visible from the street if you can.

How does the Lockbox cope with Dubai summer heat?
Chevron down icon
igloohome rates it to work up to 50°C. Air temperature in Dubai rarely goes past that, but a dark box in direct sun can get hotter. Fit it in shade and it should be fine. Heat also shortens battery life, so expect to change batteries sooner in summer.

Will sand, dust and rain damage it?
Chevron down icon
It is rated IP66, which means it is dust-tight and protected against strong water jets. Dust storms and winter rain are not a problem. Wipe sand off the keypad now and then so the buttons press cleanly, and check the rubber cover over the USB-C port stays closed.

How long do the batteries last, and what if they die?
Chevron down icon
Four AAA batteries last 12 to 16 months depending on use. If they run flat with keys locked inside, plug a USB-C cable from a power bank or phone into the jumpstart port, then enter your code. A cable is included in the box.

What happens in a DEWA power cut or internet outage?
Chevron down icon
Nothing changes. The Lockbox runs on its own batteries and checks PIN codes without internet, so guests can still get their keys. Only the optional Wi-Fi Bridge stops working during a cut, which pauses remote opening and live logs until power returns.

What fits inside the igloohome Lockbox?
Chevron down icon
The inside space is 72 mm wide, 108 mm high and 26.7 mm deep. That takes a bunch of house keys, a building access card and a typical car key fob together. It will not take a thick bunch of keys plus a large remote, so test your set before you rely on it.

How secure is the igloohome Lockbox?
Chevron down icon
It uses a reinforced metal build with an IK07 impact rating, sounds a tamper alarm and locks the keypad after repeated wrong codes. Like any wall key box, a determined thief with tools can force it, so fix it into solid masonry with the anchors provided, not a thin board.
Contact us
Contact us
Which app does it use, and does it work with Apple Watch?
Chevron down icon
It uses the free igloohome app for iPhone and Android, where you create codes, share Bluetooth keys and read the log. igloohome says it can be unlocked from an Apple Watch and with Siri Shortcuts. It is not an Apple Home or Matter device.
Contact us
Contact us
Can I see who opened the box and when?
Chevron down icon
Yes. The box stores up to 2,000 time-stamped entries, showing which code or key was used. Without the Bridge, the log reaches your app when you next connect by Bluetooth near the box. With the Bridge, entries appear on your phone remotely.

What warranty does it have in the UAE?
Chevron down icon
igloohome gives a 1 year manufacturer warranty. The Amazon.ae offer ships from the UK through the Global Store, and Amazon warns that warranties on imported items may not be honoured in the UAE. Returns go through Amazon, so keep the order details.

Should I get a key box or a smart lock like the igloohome Mortise 2+?
Chevron down icon
Choose a smart lock if you own the property and can change the door lock, because guests go straight in with a code and no keys are left outside. Choose the Lockbox if you cannot change the lock, need to share car keys or access cards, or want a cheap first step.

How does it compare with the SwitchBot Lock Ultra?
Chevron down icon
The SwitchBot Lock Ultra fits over an existing thumbturn inside the door, so a tenant can use keyless entry with no drilling at all, if the door has a suitable cylinder. The Lockbox needs drilling outside but works with any door, gate or car, because it only holds the keys.
Contact us
Contact us
Who should not buy the igloohome Lockbox?
Chevron down icon
Skip it if you cannot drill into a wall, if your only spot is in full sun, or if your tower bans key boxes in corridors. If you own the home and want guests to enter without any physical key, a smart lock on the door is the better buy.
Contact us
Contact us
Do you install it, and how long does it take?
Chevron down icon
Yes, we fit it across Dubai. Mounting and setup take under an hour on brick, block or concrete. We check the spot for shade and drill into solid material, set up your master code and test a guest code. If you add the Bridge, we place and test that too.
