What does locksmith involve?
Being locked out is one of the few genuine emergencies in home maintenance, and Top Fixers treats it as one. Our TopFixers reach you across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman around the clock, and in the great majority of cases we open the door without damaging it or the lock — non-destructive entry is always the first approach, with drilling as a last resort on locks that cannot be opened any other way.
Beyond lockouts, we repair and replace door locks and cylinders, mortice and rim locks, aluminium and glass door locks, patio and sliding door locks, letterbox and cabinet locks, door closers and handles. We also fit digital keypad locks and smart locks, and rekey or replace cylinders after a tenancy change, a lost key or a break-in.
For security reasons we ask for proof that you are entitled to access the property before opening any door — Emirates ID together with a tenancy contract, title deed or utility bill in your name. This protects you as much as it protects us, and any locksmith who does not ask is a locksmith worth avoiding.

Locksmith — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a locksmith cost in Dubai?
Locksmith call-outs with Top Fixers start from AED 149, with the same fixed rates day or night and no weekend or holiday surcharge. Lock replacement, cylinder changes and smart lock fitting are quoted separately and confirmed in writing before work begins.
Will you need to break my lock to get me in?
Usually not. Non-destructive entry is always attempted first and succeeds on most residential locks. Drilling is a last resort used only where a lock cannot be opened otherwise, and we tell you before doing it so you can decide.
What do I need to show before you open my door?
Proof that you are entitled to access the property: Emirates ID together with a tenancy contract, title deed, or a recent utility bill in your name. This requirement exists to protect residents, and a locksmith who does not ask for it should not be trusted.
Should I change the locks when moving into a new home?
It is a sensible precaution, since you cannot know how many keys are still in circulation from previous occupants, agents or contractors. Rekeying the existing cylinder is often cheaper than replacing the whole lock and achieves the same result.
Are smart locks a good idea in the UAE?
They work well and suit properties with changing occupancy, though they need a plan for power failure and battery replacement. Check building management rules before fitting one to an apartment entrance door, as some buildings restrict changes to entrance hardware.
