The Lock Ultra retrofit deadbolt bundled with the Touch fingerprint keypad, for Dubai renters and owners who want fingerprint entry without changing the door.
This is two products in one box: the SwitchBot Lock Ultra, a retrofit deadbolt that mounts on the inside of your door, plus the Touch keypad that carries fingerprint and PIN entry on the outside. It suits renters and owners alike, which matters here because close to 70% of UAE residents rent rather than own. The lock sits over your existing thumbturn and turns it for you. Nothing is drilled or cut, the cylinder stays put, and every key in the house keeps working, so a Dubai landlord who would refuse a mortise lock will usually allow this. Daily use is simple. Press a finger to the keypad and the door reads it in about a third of a second, or tap in a PIN, or let the lock open as you walk up. It relocks itself behind you. Be clear about one thing before you buy. This Combo does not include the SwitchBot Hub. Without a hub the lock still works fully over Bluetooth through the SwitchBot app, with fingerprint, PIN and key. You only need the hub, bought separately, if you want to open the door from the office, add it to Apple Home, Alexa or Google, or use Matter. Two checks first. The thumbturn must turn freely by hand, and a mortise or Jimmy Proof lock needs the optional Accessory Kit. On a standard single-cylinder deadbolt it fits as it is.
Fingerprint or PIN entry outside, fitted over your existing thumbturn inside, so the door is never cut.
Works standalone over Bluetooth. Add the separately sold hub only for remote access, Apple Home, Alexa, Google or Matter.Rechargeable battery lasts up to nine months a charge, with a backup cell and a physical key so you are never locked out.
Comes off cleanly at the end of a tenancy and moves to your next Dubai home.Model Lock Ultra + Keypad Touch

Tenure decides the lock in Dubai, and roughly 70% of residents rent. This bundle wins that conversation because it fits over the inside of the door and leaves the cylinder, the keys and the outside of the door untouched, so most landlords sign off where a mortise replacement would be refused. Check the door type first. Many Dubai villa and apartment doors use a single-cylinder deadbolt that the lock fits straight onto, but mortise and Jimmy Proof doors need the optional Accessory Kit. Turn the thumbturn by hand and make sure it moves freely, since a door that has dropped on its hinges will fight the motor. The keypad sits outside, so heat and fine sand are real. Enrol two fingers per person and set a PIN as backup, because a hot or dusty fingertip reads less well. The IP65 keypad handles sun and the odd bit of rain. SwitchBot support in the UAE runs through the seller and online channels, so buy from a listing with a clear warranty.
