A retrofit smart lock kit that adds face, fingerprint and app unlock to your existing deadbolt, made for Dubai homeowners and tenants who want keyless entry without swapping the lock.
The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo turns an ordinary deadbolt into a keyless smart lock. It is a three-piece kit: the Lock Ultra motor unit, the Keypad Vision with 3D face recognition, and a SwitchBot Hub Mini for remote access and Matter. The Lock Ultra fits over the inside thumb-turn of most single-cylinder deadbolts, so you keep your existing door, cylinder and metal key. Nothing is drilled and the outside of the door stays untouched. Once fitted, the family can get in by face, fingerprint, passcode, NFC card, Apple Watch or the app. The keypad reads a face in about a second and mounts outside with an IP65 rating. The Hub Mini joins your Wi-Fi and links the lock to Apple Home, Alexa and Google, plus remote lock and unlock when you are away. For Dubai, this suits villa and townhouse owners who control their own front door, and apartment tenants whose door uses a standard deadbolt. Because it is a retrofit that comes off cleanly, it is a sensible pick for renters who want their deposit back. Honest limits: it does not fit Jimmy Proof or mortise locks without the separate Accessory Kit, and euro-profile doors need the EU/UK version. Face and passcode need the keypad powered and mounted outside. If your building already runs an access system or an intercom-controlled door, check with us first.

Most Dubai apartment doors use a euro-profile cylinder or a mortise lock, while many villa doors use a single-cylinder deadbolt. The Lock Ultra fits deadbolts out of the box. Mortise and Jimmy Proof doors need the separate Accessory Kit, and euro doors need the EU/UK version. Send us a photo of your inside lock and we will confirm the fit before you buy. Summer heat is the real test here. The keypad and its 5000mAh battery sit outside, facing direct sun and 45C afternoons. Shorter battery life in peak summer is normal, so plan to recharge more often from June to September. Fingerprints can struggle with sweaty or wet fingers, which is why face and passcode backups matter. The Hub Mini needs steady Wi-Fi at the door for remote features. Villa gates far from the router may need a mesh point. Tenants: this comes off cleanly, but get written landlord permission first. We handle supply, fitting and the one-year warranty locally.
