Overview

What it is and where it fits

The V5 Vision is the face reading model in Lockin's V5 range, and it suits a Dubai door better than most face locks because it is a mortise lock, not an American deadbolt. Our supplied price is AED 2,469 for the lock, with installation quoted separately. You will not find it on the big marketplaces here. It reaches the UAE through the distributor channel rather than through Amazon or noon, which is why a search comes back empty and people assume it is not sold at all. Here is what we can confirm from the certification paperwork rather than from sales copy. Lockin Technology in Beijing registered it as model XFCL301 under FCC ID 2BPG9-XFCL301 in July 2025, with the test reports released in January 2026. Those filings show a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi radio, Bluetooth and an NFC card reader at 13.56 MHz. There is no 5 GHz Wi-Fi, no Zigbee and no Thread radio inside it. What Lockin has not published anywhere public is a full international spec sheet for this model, so there is no official battery figure, screen size or camera resolution. We will not copy those numbers across from the V5 Max and call them facts about this lock. We confirm the sheet with the distributor in writing before you buy, and if the answer does not suit your door or your household, we say so.

  • It belongs to Lockin's mortise range, so it targets the same door body that most Dubai flats and villas already have.
  • Face recognition is the headline, which means the door opens with your hands full of shopping or a sleeping child.
  • Built in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth mean no separate bridge box in your meter cupboard, plus an NFC card reader for staff cards.
  • We supply and fit it ourselves, and the confirmed spec sheet goes on your quote before you pay anything.

What to check before you order

The good news for Dubai is the family. Lockin's V locks are mortise locks, so they replace the mortise body and lever handles that sit in most flat and villa entrance doors here, rather than fighting them. We still measure three things before ordering: door thickness, the mortise size already cut into the door, and the handing, because left and right hung doors take different builds. In a tower, check with building management first, since flat entrance doors are usually fire rated and changing them without approval causes trouble at handover. Tenants should get that approval in writing and keep the old lock. The lock runs on batteries, so a DEWA cut does not shut you out, but the Wi-Fi side goes quiet until the router is back. Wi-Fi here is 2.4 GHz only, which is normal for locks and means a router or mesh point within reach of the front door.

Lockin in the UAE. Sold through UAE smart home retail. Its palm-vein and finger-vein locks read blood-vessel patterns rather than a fingerprint surface, which is a class of lock most brands here do not offer.

Answers

Questions about the Lockin V5 Vision Face ID Smart Lock

What is the Lockin V5 Vision?
Chevron down icon
It is the face reading model in Lockin's V5 range of mortise smart locks, certified as model XFCL301. Lockin's V series locks sit inside the door body with lever handles, which is a different design from the Veno deadbolts the brand sells in America.

How much does the V5 Vision cost in Dubai?
Chevron down icon
Our supplied price is AED 2,469 for the lock itself. Installation is quoted separately, because that depends on your door and whether the existing mortise needs work. We confirm the current figure when we quote, so nothing moves between the enquiry and the invoice.
Contact us
Contact us
Why can I not find it on Amazon.ae or noon?
Chevron down icon
Because it does not go through those marketplaces here. We checked both on 18 September 2026 and neither lists it, and Sharaf DG does not carry the Lockin brand at all. It reaches the UAE through the distributor channel, which is where we buy it from.

Does the price include fitting?
Chevron down icon
No. The AED 2,469 covers the lock. We quote installation separately once we have seen the door, because a straight swap into an existing mortise and a door that needs cutting are two very different jobs. Both numbers go on one quote before you commit.

How soon can you fit it?
Chevron down icon
We confirm availability at the moment of quoting rather than promising a date we cannot keep. If it is in the country we can usually book you within days. If the batch has sold out we tell you the wait up front instead of taking your money and going quiet.

How is it different from the V5 Max you already sell?
Chevron down icon
The V5 Max leads with palm vein reading alongside 3D face reading, a wide angle camera and a screen on the inside panel. The V5 Vision is the face led model in the same range. Both are mortise locks from the same family, so the door work is similar.
Contact us
Contact us
Why do you not list the battery life and camera resolution?
Chevron down icon
Because Lockin has not published an international spec sheet for this model, and we will not borrow numbers from the V5 Max and present them as facts about this lock. We confirm the real sheet with the distributor before you order and we put it in writing on the quote.

What do you actually know for certain about it?
Chevron down icon
The certification paperwork. Lockin Technology in Beijing registered it as XFCL301 under FCC ID 2BPG9-XFCL301 in July 2025, with test reports published in January 2026. That confirms a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi radio, Bluetooth, and NFC card reading at 13.56 MHz.

Will it fit my apartment door in Dubai?
Chevron down icon
Probably, because it is a mortise lock and that is what most flats here use, but we never promise before measuring. We need the door thickness, the size of the mortise already cut in the door edge, and which way the door is hung. Photos of both sides help.

Will it fit a villa entrance door?
Chevron down icon
Usually yes. Villa entrance doors are commonly thick timber or steel with a European mortise body, which is the family this lock belongs to. Thick doors sometimes need a longer spindle and longer screws, so we confirm the thickness before the order goes out.

Does handing matter?
Chevron down icon
Yes. Mortise locks are built for a left or right hung door, and the wrong hand means the handle points the wrong way. Stand outside, look at the hinges, and tell us which side they are on. We double check it on the site visit before anything is ordered.

Can I fit it on a fire rated tower door?
Chevron down icon
Ask building management first, in writing. Most flat entrance doors in Dubai towers carry a fire rating, and changing the lock body can affect the certificate. Some buildings approve it happily, others refuse. Send us their reply and we will work to whatever they allow.

I am a tenant. Can I install this?
Chevron down icon
Only with the landlord's written approval, because a mortise swap changes the door. Keep the old lock body, cylinder and keys in a labelled box so the flat can be handed back exactly as you got it. That single step avoids most deposit arguments later.

Do I need a hub or bridge?
Chevron down icon
No. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are built into the lock, so there is no extra box to buy or hide. You do need a decent signal at the front door, which in a villa often means putting a mesh point in the entrance hall rather than relying on a router two rooms away.
Contact us
Contact us
Does it work with Apple Home, Alexa or Google Home?
Chevron down icon
We do not claim it yet. Lockin lists Mi Home and Apple HomeKit support for the V5 Max, but the brand has published nothing public about platform support for the V5 Vision. We get a written answer from the distributor before you order, so you are not guessing.

Is it a Matter device?
Chevron down icon
The certification shows Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only, with no Thread radio, so do not buy it expecting Thread. Whether the firmware speaks Matter over Wi-Fi is a question we put in writing before you order. If Matter is your deciding factor, we will point you at a lock that states it clearly.

What happens in a DEWA power cut?
Chevron down icon
Nothing to the lock itself. It runs on batteries, so face, card, PIN and key all keep working while the building is dark. The app side needs your router, so remote access and notifications pause until power and internet are back, usually within minutes.

How does Dubai heat affect it?
Chevron down icon
Batteries lose life in heat and electronics age faster in direct sun. A door under a porch or inside an air conditioned corridor has an easy time. A west facing villa door with no shade is the hard case, and there we suggest a shade line or an awning as part of the job.

What about dust and humidity?
Chevron down icon
Fine dust on the sensor window slows recognition, and coastal humidity in Jumeirah or on the Palm can corrode cheap hardware. Wipe the sensors with a dry cloth every few weeks, and let us fit stainless fixings where the door faces the sea. It costs little and saves rust marks.

Can my maid and driver have their own access?
Chevron down icon
Yes, and they should. Give each person their own PIN or NFC card rather than sharing one code, so the log tells you who came and went. When somebody leaves the job, you delete only their entry and nobody else in the house is disturbed.
Contact us
Contact us
Is face recognition secure enough for a front door?
Chevron down icon
A structured light face sensor of the kind used across the V5 range reads depth, not a flat picture, so a photo on a phone will not open it. We still set a strong PIN and keep the mechanical key as backup, because no single method should be your only way in.
Contact us
Contact us
What if the face reading fails?
Chevron down icon
You still have the other methods on the lock and the mechanical key, which is why we set up at least two ways in for every person in the house on handover day. Sunglasses, a big change of beard or a face behind shopping bags are the usual reasons for a retry.
Contact us
Contact us
Do you install it, and how long does it take?
Chevron down icon
Our own technicians fit it. A straight mortise swap takes about two hours. If the existing mortise is an odd size, add time for preparing the door. We test every opening method, set up the app, hand over codes and keys, and clear up before we leave.

What warranty and support do I get here?
Chevron down icon
We put the terms on the quote: our own workmanship cover plus the manufacturer cover, and we handle any claim for you rather than sending you to a call centre. Keep the quote with your handover pack, and call us first if anything stops working.

How does it compare with the Lockin S6 Max?
Chevron down icon
The S6 Max is a dual camera lock with a screen, so it is the pick if you want to see and speak to whoever is at the door. The V5 Vision leads on face reading. Both are mortise locks, so the fitting work on your door is similar.
Contact us
Contact us
How does it compare with the Veno 3?
Chevron down icon
Different families. The Veno 3 is a deadbolt style lock built for American doors, so it often needs the Dubai door altered, and we bring it in to order. The V5 Vision is a mortise lock that drops into the door body most homes here already have.
Contact us
Contact us
Who should not buy the V5 Vision?
Chevron down icon
Anyone who must have a written Apple Home or Matter promise today, tenants without landlord approval, owners of a tower door that building management will not let them alter, and anyone who simply wants the cheapest keyless entry. A smaller Lockin lock covers that last case for far less.
Contact us
Contact us
What maintenance does it need?
Chevron down icon
Keep the sensors clean, charge or change the batteries when the lock warns you, and have the mortise and the strike checked once a year, because doors swell and shift in summer. A lock that has to be pulled or lifted is telling you the door needs adjusting, not the lock.
Contact us
Contact us
Can I move it to another home later?
Chevron down icon
Yes, if the next door takes the same mortise size and thickness. We can remove it and refit it, and the original lock goes back in the old door. Tell us at the start if you expect to move, and we will keep the old parts labelled for you.
