How much is a lock change in Dubai Marina?

It starts at AED 100. A high-security lock or cylinder costs more than a basic one. We tell you the price before we start.

I just moved into a Marina flat. Should I change the lock?

Yes. You don't know who still holds a key. Rekeying or changing the lock on move-in day means only your household can get in.

Can a tenant change the lock in Dubai?

Check your tenancy contract and ask your landlord first. Most agree if they get a copy of the new key. We can cut that copy on the spot.

Does my building need to know?

Some towers keep a master key or want a key for emergencies. Ask your building management. We can fit a lock that matches their rules.

What is the difference between rekeying and changing?

Rekeying keeps your lock and changes the small pins inside, so old keys stop working. Changing means a new lock or cylinder. Rekeying is often cheaper.

I lost my keys in the building. Do I need a new lock?

If the keys had your flat number on them, or you lost them where strangers could find them, yes. If they were lost at home, a new key from our key maker in Dubai Marina service may be enough.

My lock is stiff. Should I change it?

Not always. Stiff locks can often be cleaned and fixed. Try lock repair in Dubai Marina first, and change the lock only if it is worn out.

Can I switch to a smart lock instead?

Yes, if your door and building allow it. See our smart lock installation in Dubai Marina page for how it works.

Can you change the lock after a break-in?

Yes. We work 24/7, so we can change a damaged lock at night. We also check the door and frame for damage.

How long does a lock change take?

Most flat lock changes take under an hour. If the door or frame needs extra work, we tell you before we start.
