Overview

What it is and where it fits

The SwitchBot Keypad Touch is an add-on pad that gives a SwitchBot retrofit lock keyless entry. It is not a lock on its own. You need a SwitchBot Lock, Lock Pro, or Lock Ultra fitted on your door first, then this pad mounts on the wall or frame next to it and tells the lock to open. You can get in four ways: a fingerprint, a 6 to 12 digit PIN, a SwitchBot NFC card, or the SwitchBot app on your phone. The fingerprint reader holds up to 90 prints and uses a bank-grade sensor, so it reads fast even with slightly damp or dusty fingers. You can also set temporary or one-time codes, which suits a maid, a delivery, or a short-stay guest. It fits most Dubai homes because the lock behind it is a retrofit type. That lock sits on the inside of your existing door and keeps your key and cylinder, so tenants can add it without changing the hardware the landlord owns. The pad runs on two CR123A batteries (included) for around two years, so a DEWA power cut does not lock you out. Two honest limits. First, the pad talks to the lock over Bluetooth at close range, so for phone alerts, remote unlocking, and Alexa or Google you also need a SwitchBot Hub. Second, the whole system only works with SwitchBot locks, not other brands. If you already run SwitchBot, this is the cheapest way to add fingerprint and PIN entry.

  • Four ways to unlock: fingerprint, PIN, NFC card, or the app
  • Set temporary and one-time codes for maids, guests, and deliveries
  • Bank-grade fingerprint reader stores up to 90 prints and reads fast
  • About two years on the included batteries, so a power cut won't lock you out

What to check before you order

Most Dubai front doors are solid timber or metal fire doors, and the SwitchBot Lock behind this pad fits the thumb-turn on the inside, so your door stays as it is. That matters for the roughly seven in ten residents who rent, since nothing on the landlord's side changes and you can take the kit with you when you move. Heat is the real test here. The pad is IP65 and rated to 66C, but a metal door in full Dubai sun can still get very hot, so mount it in shade or under a porch where you can. Fingerprints read best when hands are dry, so wipe off sweat in summer. Power is simple. It uses two CR123A batteries, not mains, so DEWA cuts do not matter. Wi-Fi only comes in if you add a SwitchBot Hub for remote access, so make sure your router reaches the front door. We supply, fit, and support this across Dubai and stand behind the one-year warranty.

SwitchBot in the UAE. Retail stock through Amazon.ae and Noon. Best known for non-destructive retrofit devices that suit tenanted homes.

Answers

Questions about the SwitchBot Keypad Touch

What exactly is the SwitchBot Keypad Touch?
Chevron down icon
It is a wall pad that adds fingerprint and PIN entry to a SwitchBot Lock. On its own it does nothing. It sends an unlock signal over Bluetooth to a SwitchBot Lock, Lock Pro, or Lock Ultra fitted on your door, so you skip the key.

Will it fit my villa's front door?
Chevron down icon
Almost always, yes. The pad mounts on the wall or door frame with tape or screws, so the door type does not matter for the pad. What matters is that the SwitchBot Lock fits your inside thumb-turn. Most villa doors in Dubai take it fine.

Contact us
Will it work on my apartment door?
Chevron down icon
Yes, if a SwitchBot Lock fits the inside latch of your apartment door. The lock is a retrofit type that sits over your existing cylinder, so you keep the building's key. Check that your door has a standard thumb-turn before you buy, and ask us if unsure.

I rent. Can I use it, and will my landlord agree?
Chevron down icon
Yes. The lock behind the pad clips over your existing lock inside and changes nothing the landlord owns. Your key still works. Most landlords are fine with it since it is reversible and leaves no damage. When you move out, unclip everything and take it with you.

Can I install it myself, or do you fit it?
Chevron down icon
You can. The pad sticks on with tape or two screws and pairs with the lock in the app in a few minutes. No wiring, no drilling into the door. If you would rather not, our team fits the lock and pad, sets up codes, and shows you how it works.

Does it need Wi-Fi or a hub to work?
Chevron down icon
Not for basic use. Fingerprint, PIN, and card entry all work offline over Bluetooth. You only need a SwitchBot Hub (sold separately) if you want phone alerts, remote unlocking, and voice control. For a simple keypad on the door, no Wi-Fi is needed.

Does it work with Apple Home, Google, and Alexa?
Chevron down icon
Through a SwitchBot Hub, yes. The lock works with Alexa, Google Assistant, SmartThings, and Apple devices via Siri Shortcuts and Apple Home. Without a hub, the pad still unlocks the door on its own, but voice assistants and remote apps will not see it.

Will the fingerprint reader cope with Dubai summer heat?
Chevron down icon
It is rated up to 66C and reads well in the heat. The bigger issue is sweaty or wet fingers, which any sensor struggles with. Wipe your hand first and it reads fast. If a print fails, use your PIN or card, so you are never locked out.

How long does the battery last, and what about power cuts?
Chevron down icon
About two years on the two CR123A batteries in the box. It does not use mains power, so a DEWA cut does not affect it at all. The pad and app warn you when the batteries run low, giving you plenty of time to swap them.

Contact us
Is there a key or backup if it stops working?
Chevron down icon
Yes. Your original door key still works, because the SwitchBot Lock sits over your existing lock and leaves the cylinder in place. You also have four entry methods on the pad itself, so if a fingerprint fails you fall back to a PIN, a card, or the app.
Contact us
Contact us
Can I give my maid, guests, or a delivery access, and see who came in?
Chevron down icon
Yes. Set a permanent code for regular help like a maid, and temporary or one-time codes for guests or a delivery. With a SwitchBot Hub added, the app logs each entry with the code used and the time, so you can see who came and went.
Contact us
Contact us
Can it be hacked or forced open?
Chevron down icon
The codes use a virtual password trick, so you can pad extra digits around your real PIN to beat anyone watching. Fingerprints are stored on the device, not online. It also has a tamper alarm if someone tries to pry it off. The lock, not the pad, holds the door shut.

How many users and codes does it hold, and how do I manage them?
Chevron down icon
Up to 90 fingerprints and 90 passcodes, plus NFC cards. You add, name, and delete users in the free SwitchBot app on iOS 11 or Android 5.0 and up. Codes can be permanent, on a schedule, or one-time. It suits a busy family or a shared villa.

Contact us
Does it work without internet?
Chevron down icon
Yes. All entry at the door happens over Bluetooth between the pad and the lock, with no internet involved. So even if your Wi-Fi or DU or Etisalat line is down, fingerprint, PIN, and card entry keep working. Internet only matters for remote features through a hub.
Contact us
Contact us
What comes in the box?
Chevron down icon
The pad, a mounting bracket and base plate, adhesive tape, a screw kit, two CR123A batteries, a reset pin, and a manual. Some UAE kits also add a SwitchBot NFC card and cleaning wipe. You still need a SwitchBot Lock, which is sold separately.

Contact us
What warranty and support do I get in the UAE?
Chevron down icon
The pad carries a one-year manufacturer warranty. Buy it fitted from us and you also get local setup, help pairing it with your lock and hub, and someone to call if something goes wrong. That is easier than chasing an online seller for a replacement.

How much is it and how do I buy from you?
Chevron down icon
It starts around 231 AED for the pad alone on Amazon.ae. We can supply it with the right SwitchBot Lock and hub for your door, fitted and set up, as one package. Send us your door details for a quote and we will confirm today's price and stock.

How is this different from the older SwitchBot Keypad or the Keypad Vision?
Chevron down icon
The plain Keypad has PIN and card only. This Touch model adds a fingerprint reader, which is the fastest way in for most people. The Keypad Vision goes further with face recognition. Pick Touch if you want fingerprint and PIN without paying for a camera.
Contact us
Contact us
Do I really need to buy a SwitchBot Lock as well?
Chevron down icon
Yes. The Keypad Touch is only an accessory. It cannot lock or unlock a door by itself. It must pair with a SwitchBot Lock, Lock Pro, or Lock Ultra, which is the part that actually turns your latch. Buy them together so everything is matched.
Contact us
Contact us
Who should not buy this?
Chevron down icon
Skip it if you do not have and do not want a SwitchBot Lock, since it only works with that brand. Also skip it if you want face unlock (look at the Keypad Vision) or a fully standalone lock with its own handle. For those, a different product fits better.
Contact us
Contact us
Can I fit more than one keypad, or use it on two doors?
Chevron down icon
Each keypad pairs with one SwitchBot Lock. If you have a main door and a side or majlis entrance, each with its own SwitchBot Lock, you can add a Keypad Touch to each. You manage them all from the one SwitchBot app on your phone.
Contact us
Contact us
How close does the keypad need to be to the lock?
Chevron down icon
Bluetooth works best within about five metres, and the pad usually sits right next to the door, so range is rarely a problem. The lock is just on the other side of the same door. Thick walls between them can weaken the signal, so keep them close.
Contact us
Contact us
Is the NFC card safe, and can I get spares?
Chevron down icon
The card is handy for kids or older parents who find PINs fiddly. Treat it like a key, since anyone holding it can get in, so delete it in the app at once if it is lost. You can add more SwitchBot NFC cards and name each one.
Contact us
Contact us
Does the anti-peeping code feature actually help?
Chevron down icon
Yes, it is useful at a shared villa entrance or a building lobby. You type random digits before and after your real PIN, and the lock ignores the extra ones. So a neighbour or worker watching cannot tell which digits are really yours. Your true code stays hidden.
