Smart mortise lock installation in Makkah by an identity-verified technician, at a price published before you confirm the booking and covering drilling, programming, and app pairing, with same-day slots across Makkah districts and a written 14-day installation warranty — and it is the practical answer for short-stay rental flats because it replaces key handover with a time-limited code per guest that expires automatically at checkout.
Installation in Makkah starts from SAR 90, covering fitting, programming, app pairing and testing. Your final price is shown in full before you confirm the booking.
Makkah is a different residential market: a large share of its flats is let short-term and seasonally to visitors, and one door can receive dozens of guests in a year. That turns a smart lock from a comfort item into an operations tool. On this page: what the install price covers, how to issue a temporary code per guest instead of keys, what to check before you buy, and the districts we cover.
The price shown before you confirm is final and VAT-inclusive, and covers the whole job from the technician's arrival until the door works again in front of you:
Fixlr does not sell hardware and is not tied to any brand: you buy the lock that suits you from wherever you like, and we install it and stand behind the workmanship.
In the short-stay letting districts — Al Aziziyah, Al Misfalah, Ajyad — the daily problem is not security in the traditional sense but handing keys over and getting them back: the owner or property manager makes the trip twice per guest, and any lost key means a cylinder change and fresh copies, a cost that repeats within one season. A cut copy also stays valid forever. A recessed smart lock fixes this because the code replaces the key:
For anyone running several flats the gap widens: a distinct code per door, one dashboard listing every door, and a supervisor who issues codes without holding a master key. Locks driven over Bluetooth alone force your phone to be near the door, which cancels half the benefit when you are out of the city.

Going rates in Makkah are close to the other large cities: between SAR 150 and 300 depending on the door type and whether drilling is needed, with some shops tying installation to buying the device from them or raising prices in peak seasons. On Fixlr, installation is an independent service with a published price: the starting figure at the top of this page is the lowest a verified technician actually charges today, your final price appears in full before you confirm, and an electronic tax invoice follows the visit. What moves that number is broken down in the smart lock installation price guide for Saudi Arabia.
In peak seasons the technician's arrival window matters more than at any other time: congestion around the central area and vehicle-access rules on some streets make getting there and parking a real constraint, particularly in Al Misfalah and Ajyad. Book a slot outside peak movement hours — early morning is usually easiest — and note the nearest vehicle entrance, the floor number, and whether parking exists. If the flat is let, schedule between one guest leaving and the next arriving, because the install needs the door free for roughly an hour.
Every technician on the Fixlr platform passes identity verification, a background check, and category training on locks before taking a job, and at booking you see their name, photo, and past reviews and choose who enters the flat. Every installation paid electronically carries a written 14-day warranty on the technician's workmanship: any installation-related fault in that window — a loose fit, a misalignment, a programming issue — is put right at our expense, and the device keeps its own manufacturer warranty. What to ask a technician before choosing them is set out in how to choose a smart lock technician.
Fixlr technicians cover the Makkah districts on our record: Al Aziziyah, Al Abidiyah, Al Shawqiyah, Al Zahir, Ajyad, and Al Misfalah. Enter your address at booking and you will only see technicians who actually cover your district, with no surprise call-out fees. The steps:
The booking journey is described step by step on how Fixlr works, and general questions are answered in the FAQ.
You create the code in the lock app, set a start and end time matching check-in and checkout, then send it to the guest by message before they arrive. It expires by itself after departure with no action from you, and the access log shows which code opened the door and when. Buy a lock that supports several concurrent temporary codes: cheap models often allow only one, or require your phone near the door.
Going rates in Makkah run between SAR 150 and 300 depending on the door type and whether drilling is needed, and some shops raise them in peak seasons or only install a device bought from them. On Fixlr the starting figure at the top of this page is the lowest a verified technician actually charges today, and your final price appears in full before you confirm, with an electronic tax invoice after the visit.
No. What you pay Fixlr is the installation labour only and it never includes the device. You buy whichever lock suits your door and budget, from any shop or website, and we handle the survey, drilling, fitting, programming, and app pairing. Separating the device from the service keeps the choice with you and keeps the labour price the same whichever lock you picked.
Every order paid electronically through the platform carries a written 14-day warranty on the technician's workmanship. If a fault caused by the installation appears within that window — a loose fit, a misalignment, or a programming problem — the technician returns and puts it right entirely at our expense. The device keeps its own manufacturer warranty, which is unaffected by being fitted by a verified technician.
Usually yes, but a recessed mortise lock means modifying the door leaf, so get the owner's written approval before booking if drilling is required. Some doors accept a lock that mounts over the existing cylinder with no new drilling and can be reversed when the lease ends. The technician tells you which option fits your door and drills nothing before you agree to it.
A typical installation takes 45 to 90 minutes, and up to two hours if the door needs fresh drilling or is metal. In peak seasons, book a slot outside congested hours and note the nearest vehicle entrance and whether parking exists, because reaching and parking near the central area can consume more time than the installation itself.
