About Our Lock Change Service

Changing your door lock is the most effective security upgrade you can make when you move into a new Dubai property, after a break-in, when a key is lost, or when a previous tenant or contractor may still have a key. Lock Repair Satwa supplies and fits replacement locks for all residential and light commercial door types across Dubai.

We carry a range of quality lock brands suitable for Dubai's climate — from standard mortise locks and single/double cylinder deadbolts to high-security picks-resistant locks for enhanced protection. Our technicians match the new lock to your existing door preparation where possible, avoiding unnecessary drilling or door modification.

For apartments, we replace the lock cylinder within the existing mortise body, preserving the door hardware and reducing cost. For villas and buildings requiring a full lock mechanism replacement, we supply and fit the complete unit. We also offer digital smart lock upgrades as part of a lock change — replacing a standard mechanical lock with a fingerprint or PIN-code model in the same visit.

Why Choose Our Lock Change Service

Same-Day Lock Supply & Fitting

We carry a range of standard lock units. Most residential lock changes are completed same-day without needing to order parts.

Cylinder Change Without Full Replacement

For apartments with standard mortise bodies, we can replace just the cylinder — a more cost-effective option that maintains your existing door hardware.

Security Upgrade Options

Upgrading at the same time? We can fit high-security, anti-pick, anti-drill locks or digital smart locks during the same visit.

All Dubai Door Types Covered

Wooden villa doors, aluminium apartment doors, steel fire doors and glass entrance doors — we fit locks appropriate for each door type.

Frequently Asked Questions — Lock Change

In most Dubai apartments, only the cylinder needs replacing — this is quicker and less expensive. For older or damaged lock bodies, a full replacement is better. We assess on-site and advise before starting.

Yes. We use the existing door preparation wherever possible. Only if the door requires a new bore size (e.g., for a smart lock installation) is any drilling needed, and we explain this beforehand.

Standard locks come with 2–3 keys. Additional keys can be cut for AED 50–100 each. High-security restricted locks come with 2 keys, and additional copies require a registered authorised order.
