Why Dubai Residents Trust Fixit UAE
🏠 Real Estate Security
Dubai's rental market moves fast. Every tenant turnover should trigger a lock change to ensure previous occupants or contractors no longer have access. We handle these scenarios daily across Dubai's apartment stock to keep new residents safe.
☀️ Climate-Proof Locks
Summer heat in the UAE affects mechanisms. Sustained temps above 45°C change spring tension and drain smart lock batteries faster. Our locksmiths factor extreme heat into every assessment for maximum durability.
💎 Transparent Pricing
We confirm all pricing before starting work. Emergency callout rates are disclosed upfront upon booking—no surprises or hidden fees. Reliable service and honest pricing are the foundation of our reputation.

Residential Locksmith Service in Dubai
Residential locksmith work covers apartments, villas, townhouses, and studio units across every community in the city. The most common calls we receive are lock changes when moving into a new property, lockouts when keys are lost or locked inside, broken key extraction, and security upgrades.
Our residential locksmith team handles all standard lock types found in Dubai's building stock. This includes basic rim locks on older Deira apartment doors and the high-security mortise locks on newer villa main entrances.
Moving into a new rental? Changing the locks should be your first priority. You have no way of knowing how many copies of the previous key exist or who holds them. We can attend the same day for most standard apartment locks in Dubai and supply new keys for the tenant, building management, and property owner.
Commercial Locksmith Service for Dubai Businesses
Commercial properties in Dubai have more complex security requirements than residential ones. Office suites need to control access between reception, server rooms, and storage areas. Retail shops need robust front door locks that provide genuine resistance to forced entry after hours.
Our commercial locksmith service designs and implements access control solutions for all business types across Dubai's commercial areas including DIFC, Business Bay, JLT, and Al Quoz.
Tailored Business Security
We use the latest technologies and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that you get the best possible service, available 24/7 for planned upgrades or emergencies.

Expert assessments and on-site consultations available across UAE.
Automotive Locksmith Service in the UAE
Car locksmith work in Dubai is more complex than it was ten years ago. Modern vehicles use transponder keys, remote key fobs, smart proximity keys, and push-button start systems — none of which can be duplicated with a simple key-cutting machine. They require programming to the vehicle's ECU using specialist diagnostic equipment.
Our automotive locksmith team works on all major vehicle brands common in Dubai. We carry out key programming, duplication, lockout opening, and ignition repair across all major makes.
Major Brands Supported:
"The cost of prevention is a fraction of the cost of a full replacement at the roadside. We recommend every vehicle owner keeps a duplicate transponder or smart key stored safely at home."
Emergency Locksmith — 24/7 Mobile Response
A lockout never happens at a convenient time. Our emergency locksmith service operates around the clock — including weekends, public holidays, and the early hours of the morning. When you call, a mobile locksmith unit is dispatched from the nearest available location.
Time in Dubai
The locksmith carries opening tools for the most common lock types so the door can be opened without damage. Our lockout service is available 24 hours a day across all Dubai residential and commercial areas, using non-destructive opening techniques wherever possible.
Emergency rates apply for after-hours callouts — we confirm the cost before starting work to ensure total transparency during stressful situations.

Lock Types We Work With in Dubai
Understanding the lock type in your property helps you ask the right questions and understand what any repair or replacement involves.
Pin Tumbler Mortise Locks
The most common lock type in Dubai villa main doors. A rectangular body sits inside the door with a deadbolt and a latch. Strong and reliable — usually fails due to a worn cylinder or broken cam.
Rim Locks (Night Latches)
Common on apartment doors in older Dubai buildings (Deira, Bur Dubai, Al Quoz). Surface-mounted with a spring latch. We recommend supplementing these with a deadbolt for better security.
Digital and Smart Locks
Found in newer Dubai apartments and villas. Uses keypads, fingerprints, or apps. Most common issue is dead batteries (5-minute fix), while complex faults involve motors or electronic boards.
Deadbolts
Fitted as supplementary locks on external doors. They add significant forced-entry resistance and are essential for doors that only have a primary rim latch.
Magnetic Locks (Maglocks)
Used on commercial office entrances and car park barriers. Released via access control. Failures are usually linked to power supply or release buttons rather than the lock itself.
Biometric Locks & Padlocks
Facial and fingerprint recognition for high-security environments, plus standard padlocks for storage areas and compound gates. We service and duplicate keys for all major brands.

What to Do If You Are Locked Out in Dubai
Being locked out in Dubai is stressful due to the heat and complex access systems. Here is what to do if it happens to you.
Balcony doors, windows, or side gates might be open. Check if the door is fully latched or just pulled closed—this happens more often than people realise.
Many Dubai towers have security or property management teams who might have a master key for emergency access. This is the free option worth trying first.
Call 0522112800. Tell us your location and door type. A locksmith will be dispatched, and we confirm the arrival time and cost upfront.
Forcing a modern apartment door risks damaging the concrete frame and lock beyond repair. Professional opening costs much less than a full door repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our locksmith services in Dubai
A standard lock replacement starts from AED 200 including the new lock for standard models. High-security locks — anti-snap cylinders, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy — start from AED 400. The exact cost depends on the lock type, the door configuration, and whether any adjustment to the door frame is needed. We confirm the price before starting work.
In most cases, yes. Our locksmiths use non-destructive opening techniques for standard residential and commercial locks — the door is opened without damage to the lock or the door frame, and the lock can continue to be used afterward. For some high-security locks or locks in poor condition, non-destructive opening is not possible — we advise on this before proceeding and confirm whether destructive opening is the only option.
For a standard transponder key, the cut and programming process takes 30 to 60 minutes on-site. For smart keys and proximity keys on newer vehicles, the process takes 60 to 90 minutes. The exact time depends on the vehicle make and the specific key type. We carry programming equipment for all major vehicle brands common in Dubai and confirm the timeline when you call.
Standard key duplication — making a copy of your own house or office key — is legal and straightforward. Duplicating a key to a property you do not have authorisation to access is illegal. For restricted keys — keys marked "do not duplicate" — duplication requires the authorisation of the key holder. We follow these protocols and do not duplicate keys where there is any question about authorisation.
Do not try to pull or dig the broken piece out with a pin or sharp object — this usually pushes the fragment deeper into the cylinder or causes additional damage. Call us. Broken key extraction is a standard locksmith job that takes 15 to 30 minutes with the right tools. The lock cylinder can usually be continued in use after the fragment is removed, though we inspect the cylinder for damage while the key is out.
