Overview

What it is and where it fits

The Kaadas K9-5W is a push-pull fingerprint lock with built-in Wi-Fi, and it suits owned villas and townhouses where you want to send a one-time PIN to a cleaner or guest from your phone. It is the Wi-Fi version of the older K9, and it is the K9 that Kaadas still lists on its global site. From outside you open it with a fingerprint, a PIN code, a Mifare card or the key. From inside you grip the handle, which has a touch sensor, and pull. It stores 100 fingerprints, 100 cards and 20 user codes plus a master code. Fake digits before or after your PIN hide it from anyone watching. The app shows entry records, sends alerts and creates one-time codes, and no bridge is needed. It runs on AA batteries and wakes from a power bank through a Micro USB port if they go flat. Kaadas rates it for doors 38 to 120mm thick and working temperatures up to 60°C. It uses its own 924C mortise body, so the door is cut. It is not for renters, tower fire doors, or anyone who wants Apple Home or Alexa, since Kaadas does not list those. Voice prompts come in English but not Arabic. Supply in the UAE runs through the Kaadas importer rather than Amazon or noon, so ask us about lead time and warranty before you decide.

  • Send one-time PIN codes from your phone and see who came in
  • Grip the inside handle to open, no button hunting on the way out
  • Fake digits around your PIN stop people reading it over your shoulder
  • Wakes from any power bank through a USB port if the batteries die

What to check before you order

The K9-5W suits owned villas and townhouses. It fits its own 924C mortise body, so the existing lock comes out and the door is cut and drilled to the Kaadas template. Kaadas rates it for 38 to 120mm doors, which covers thick villa doors, but it needs a flat face wide enough for an 85mm panel. Tower flat entrances are usually fire-rated, so building management must approve it, and tenants need the landlord's written consent. Kaadas rates it to 60°C. A black panel on a west-facing door in July can get close, so we prefer shaded or covered entrances. Wi-Fi needs a decent signal at the door, and villa main doors are often far from the router, so we test signal first and add an access point if needed. One-time codes suit maids, drivers and holiday home guests. Voice prompts are English, not Arabic.

Kaadas in the UAE. A large Chinese smart-lock manufacturer with a mortise-based range that suits UAE villa and apartment doors. In the UAE it is sold mainly through specialist importers rather than mainstream retailers, so we source Kaadas locks to order and confirm model, handing and lead time before you commit.

Answers

Questions about the Kaadas K9-5W Wi-Fi Push-Pull Smart Lock

What is the Kaadas K9-5W?
Chevron down icon
It is a push-pull smart lock with a fingerprint reader, touch keypad, card reader, mechanical key and built-in Wi-Fi. You unlock it from outside and push the handle to enter. Inside, you grip a sensor handle and pull. It is the Wi-Fi version of the Kaadas K9.

What is the difference between the Kaadas K9 and K9-5W?
Chevron down icon
The K9-5W is the upgraded K9 with Wi-Fi built in and a touch sensor in the inside handle. The original K9 has no built-in Wi-Fi. Kaadas now lists only the K9-5W on its global site, so that is the version we recommend and quote.

How much does the Kaadas K9-5W cost in Dubai?
Chevron down icon
It is not sold by Amazon.ae, noon or Sharaf DG, so there is no mainstream retail price to quote. We source it to order. Ask us for today's price and lead time, and we will include fitting and app setup in the quote.

Where can I buy a Kaadas lock in the UAE?
Chevron down icon
Kaadas locks come into the UAE through a local importer and lock installers rather than general electronics stores. We can source a genuine K9-5W and fit it. Check that any unit you buy is new stock with a UAE warranty.

Will the K9-5W fit my villa door?
Chevron down icon
Most likely, if the door is solid. Kaadas rates it for wooden and steel security doors from 38 to 120mm thick. It uses its own 924C mortise body, so the door is cut and drilled to the Kaadas template. We measure the door and the old lock pocket first.
Contact us

Does it work on left and right opening doors?
Chevron down icon
Yes. Kaadas lists universal handing, and the manual shows the latch being turned around for left-in, right-in, left-out and right-out doors. We set the handing during installation, so you do not need to order a specific version.
Contact us

Can I fit the K9-5W on my apartment door?
Chevron down icon
Only with approval. Most Dubai tower apartment entrances are fire-rated doors controlled by building management, and this lock needs the door cut for a new mortise body. If the building approves it in writing, we check the door and quote.

Can a tenant install the Kaadas K9-5W?
Chevron down icon
Only with the landlord's written permission, because fitting it cuts and drills the door. The change is not easily reversed when you move out. If you rent, a retrofit lock that keeps the existing hardware, such as the SwitchBot Lock Ultra, is the safer choice.
Contact us
Contact us
Do I need a hub or bridge?
Chevron down icon
No. The K9-5W connects straight to your home Wi-Fi, and Kaadas says no smart home hub is required. You do need good Wi-Fi signal at the door. On large villas we often add an access point near the entrance before setup.

Is there a subscription fee?
Chevron down icon
Kaadas does not list a paid plan for the K9-5W. Remote one-time codes, notifications and entry records work through the Kaadas app once the lock joins your Wi-Fi. Your only running costs are AA batteries and any extra cards you want.

Does the K9-5W work with Alexa, Google Home or Apple Home?
Chevron down icon
Kaadas does not list Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home or Matter support for the K9-5W, so treat it as an app-only lock. If you want your front door in Home or Alexa routines, look at a Matter lock such as the Aqara U200 or U300.

How do one-time PIN codes work?
Chevron down icon
From the app, you create a one-time PIN and send it to a visitor. The code opens the door once, and the app notifies you when it is used. It suits cleaners, delivery drops, maintenance visits and holiday home guests who should not keep permanent access.
Contact us
Contact us
What happens if the Wi-Fi or internet goes down?
Chevron down icon
The lock keeps working at the door. Fingerprints, PIN codes, cards and the key are stored and checked on the lock itself. You only lose the app features, such as remote codes and notifications, until the connection returns.
Contact us
Contact us
What happens during a DEWA power cut?
Chevron down icon
The lock runs on its own batteries, so a power cut does not stop it opening. Your router will be off, so app alerts and remote codes pause until power returns. Fingerprint, PIN, card and key all continue to work normally.
Contact us
Contact us
What batteries does it use and how long do they last?
Chevron down icon
It runs on AA alkaline batteries at 6V. Kaadas does not publish a battery life figure on its spec sheet, and Wi-Fi locks drain faster than offline ones. In Dubai, expect to change batteries more often in summer, and replace them all at the first low battery prompt.
Contact us
Contact us
What if the batteries go completely flat?
Chevron down icon
Plug a phone power bank into the Micro USB port on the outside panel. That powers the lock long enough to open it with your fingerprint or code. The mechanical key is the second backup. Replace the batteries straight after.

Contact us
Can the K9-5W handle Dubai summer heat?
Chevron down icon
Kaadas rates the working temperature at -20°C to 60°C, which is better than many locks. A black panel in direct afternoon sun can still get very hot, so we recommend a shaded or covered entrance, and batteries will need changing more often.

How does the inside sensor handle work?
Chevron down icon
When you grip the inside handle and cover its sensor, the lock releases and you pull the door open. You can switch the sensor off. Then you press the open button instead. Families with small children often turn the sensor off so toddlers cannot let themselves out.
Contact us
Contact us
Is the Kaadas K9-5W secure?
Chevron down icon
It uses a stainless steel deadbolt in the mortise and a Grade B emergency cylinder. It locks you out for 100 seconds after five wrong attempts. Defense mode sounds an alarm if it is opened from inside, and privacy mode blocks everyone except the master code.
Contact us
Contact us
Does it lock automatically?
Chevron down icon
Yes. In automatic mode, the mortise locks itself when the door closes. You can switch to manual mode, where you press the close button inside or lock it from outside. Most villa owners leave automatic mode on.
Contact us

What languages are the voice prompts in?
Chevron down icon
The manual lists Chinese, English, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese. There is no Arabic voice option. Most Dubai households set it to English, and the prompts are short, so staff usually learn them quickly.
Contact us
Contact us
How long does installation take?
Chevron down icon
Yes, we install it. On a suitable solid door, fitting usually takes two to three hours. That includes cutting for the 924C mortise, drilling to the Kaadas template, fitting both panels, enrolling users and connecting the app to your Wi-Fi.

What warranty does it have in the UAE?
Chevron down icon
Warranty comes through the UAE importer or the installer who supplies it, not a Kaadas service centre you can walk into. Ask for the warranty length in writing before you buy. When we supply and fit it, we are your first contact for any fault.

How does it compare with the Yale YDM4109A?
Chevron down icon
The Yale is a mortise fingerprint lock with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth app control and stronger local service, with Yale showrooms and spare parts in the UAE. The Kaadas gives you a push-pull handle and card access. If after-sales support matters most, choose the Yale.
Contact us
Contact us
Who should not buy the Kaadas K9-5W?
Chevron down icon
Tenants, apartment owners without building approval for a fire door, anyone who wants Apple Home, Alexa or Google Home control, and anyone who needs Arabic voice prompts. Also skip it if the door faces full sun with no shade, or has no Wi-Fi signal at the entrance.
Contact us

How do I maintain the K9-5W?
Chevron down icon
Wipe the fingerprint sensor and touchpad with a soft dry cloth, since Dubai dust affects readings. Replace all batteries together when prompted. Check the app still shows the lock online after router changes, and have the latch and strike checked yearly as doors move in the heat.
