A fire-rated Korean smart lock with built-in WiFi and one-touch fingerprint entry, made for wooden main doors on Dubai villas and apartments.
The Solity GEA-1000BK is a mortise smart lock built for the wooden main door of a home. It replaces your existing lock and gives you five ways to get in: your fingerprint, a PIN code on the keypad, an RFID card or tag, a mechanical key for backup, and remote control from your phone. The fingerprint reader sits under your thumb as you push the handle, so the door reads your print and opens in about 0.9 seconds. WiFi is built into the lock itself. There is no separate hub or bridge to buy or plug in, which is one less box on your shelf and one less thing to fail. Once it joins your home network, the Solity app lets you lock and unlock from anywhere, see a log of who came and went, and get a push alert each time the door opens. Inside, a dual-drive mechanism drives three deadbolts, and the lock can raise a break-in alarm, double-lock from inside at night, and lock itself after the door shuts. It also carries a 60-minute fire-door rating and a heat alarm that unlocks the door around 75C so people can get out. This suits villa and apartment owners who want proper security on a timber door. Renters can fit it too, though it is a drilled mortise lock, so most landlords will want to approve the change first. If your main door is metal or glass, this is not the right model.

Most Dubai villas and older apartments have a solid wooden main door, which is exactly what this lock is built for. If your entrance is a metal fire door or a glass panel, it will not fit, so check the door first. Summer heat is the common worry with fingerprint locks. The reader itself copes fine, but sweaty or very dry fingers can misread, so keep a PIN and a card set up as backups. The lock runs on 4 AA batteries and warns you well before they die, and a DEWA power cut does not matter because the lock is battery powered, not mains wired. WiFi only reaches the app features, so make sure your router or a mesh point covers the front door, which matters in larger villas. Renting? Ask your landlord before drilling, since this is a fixed mortise lock. We supply across Dubai and the wider UAE and handle the 3-year warranty locally.
Solity in the UAE. A Korean digital-lock maker with a long track record in Asia. UAE availability is still thin: a few specialist lock retailers carry the G-series and mainstream marketplaces stock it only now and then, so we source and support these directly rather than pointing you at a shelf.
