When a lock change can help
Moving into a home
If you cannot account for old key copies, ask about changing the cylinder or lock. Tell us whether the property is an apartment or villa and how many doors need attention.
Lost keys or a tenant change
Explain which keys are missing or who needs access after the change. A compatible replacement with a different key arrangement can stop the old keys operating that lock.
A damaged or unreliable lock
Describe a loose cylinder, stiff key or latch that will not engage. The team needs to check whether the fault is in the lock, handle or door alignment before recommending parts.
A planned access upgrade
Want PIN or fingerprint entry? Compare a conventional replacement with a suitable smart lock, including fitting and setup costs.

Replace the cylinder
This may suit a key-control problem when the existing lock body and handles are serviceable. The replacement must match the cylinder arrangement, measurements and door fittings.
Ask: Can the current lock body be retained, and how many new keys are included?
Replace the lock or mechanism
This may be needed when the lock body is worn, damaged or unsuitable. Handles, keeps or door adjustment may also need attention. Confirm the complete scope before work begins.
Ask: Which parts need changing, and why?
A new lock is not always the answer to a stiff door. Explore lock repair and adjustment options if you need the fault assessed first.
What affects the lock-change price?
The quote depends on the lock type, replacement hardware, number of doors, whether the door opens and any additional fitting or alignment work. Send photos first so KOK can identify the likely setup; a final assessment may require a visit.
- Hardware: the proposed cylinder or lock, handles or other parts, and included keys.
- Work: removal, fitting, adjustment and any door preparation required.
- Charges: any assessment or call-out charge, labour, parts and the total payable.
- Aftercare: applicable parts or workmanship terms and who to contact if an issue occurs.
From door photos to a confirmed visit
- Send the essentials. Your Dubai area, property type, number of doors, reason for replacement and whether the door can open and lock. Include both sides of the lock and the door edge if accessible.
- Review the options. KOK checks the details and explains the proposed hardware, assessment needs and quote. Mention any landlord or building-management requirements.
- Agree the visit and work. The team confirms availability. After fitting, ask for a demonstration of normal locking, unlocking and key operation, and collect the agreed keys.
Considering a smart-lock upgrade?
Check the exact model against your door before buying. Entry methods, battery and backup access, and app or gateway requirements vary by model. Confirm the lock price, fitting and setup separately.

Questions before booking
Will the old keys still work after a cylinder change?
A replacement cylinder with a different key arrangement should no longer operate with the old keys. Confirm the intended key arrangement with KOK and ask for it to be checked at handover. Other unchanged doors will retain their existing keys.
Can you assess an apartment, villa or office lock?
Send photos of the actual door and hardware. The team will confirm whether a suitable replacement is available and what fitting work is needed. For several workplace doors, also see our commercial locksmith service.
What if I cannot open the door?
Tell the team before booking because opening and replacement are separate parts of the job. For urgent access, call KOK with your location and explain the situation. Proof of authority to access the property may be requested.
Can I arrange a visit today?
Call or send your area and lock details. KOK will confirm technician and hardware availability, the quote and a suitable visit time.
What should I check before changing a rented property's lock?
Confirm any landlord or building-management requirements for the proposed work and share them with KOK. Keep the agreed scope clear, particularly where the door or its fittings may need modification.
Can you fit a replacement lock I already bought?
Send the exact model and instructions with photos of the door. KOK must check dimensions, compatibility and installation support before confirming the work.
