Aqara Smart Lock Installation in London

• Smart Lock U600 (EL-D11E): 'built to fit standard UK multipoint doors', new on Aqara's UK store in October 2026; it replaces both handle sets and the cylinder, keeping the multipoint lock body
• Smart Lock U200 (EL-D02) and U200 Lite (EL-D03): a motor unit inside the door that turns your existing key or thumbturn; the U200 adds an outside keypad, the Lite has none
• Smart Rim Lock U500 (DL-D19D): a surface-mounted rim lock with its own fixed cylinder, sold alongside a Gate Lock U500 and a glass-door version
• Not UK models: the U400, U300, U100 and U50, which the Aqara UK Shop does not carry

• The handle action: Aqara says the U600 cannot work a deadbolt that lifting the handle does not engage
• Handle centres, spindle to cylinder: the U600 takes 72–92 mm, so the common 92 mm fits, while Fullex (68 mm), Ferco (70 mm) and Millenco (95 mm) handles, going by UK handle retailers' sizes, fall outside it
• The cylinder, for a U200: it needs Aqara's emergency function, an inside key no more than 5 mm thick with a head no longer than 39 mm, and screw fixing if it stands 3 mm or more proud, adhesive if less
• How smoothly the door locks today: Aqara's UK shop says a smart lock cannot fix mechanical issues, so a stiff gearbox is adjusted first

• The U600 page shows four badges: CE, REACH, RoHS and EN 16867, the European standard for electronic door furniture, which grades durability, environment and attack resistance; Aqara does not publish the U600's grade
• None of those is TS 007, BS 3621, Sold Secure or PAS 24, the standards UK lock clauses tend to name, and Aqara says to check with your insurer because fitting the U600 removes the existing cylinder
• The U500 Rim makes no BS 3621 claim, so on a timber door the BS 3621 mortice deadlock stays in use
• The U200 family keeps your key-operated cylinder, so the hardware a policy names is unchanged unless that cylinder has to be replaced

• No U600 and no U500 Rim: one replaces the door's handles and cylinder, the other needs a Ø50 mm hole, and BSI's summary of EN 16867 says fire-door use needs separate fire testing
• A U200 or U200 Lite only where the existing fire-rated cylinder already has the emergency function, the door still self-closes and latches, and the Responsible Person, usually the managing agent, has agreed in writing
• No keypad cable drilled through the door or its frame
• In a shared house, Wandsworth's HMO fire-safety advice wants exit doors openable from inside without a removable key, so a key-only inside cylinder is not fitted there

A vetted pro prices your Aqara job from the models and your photos, and the JACK app shows that fixed price before you book.

What the job touches moves the price more than the device does. Pairing a hub, fixing sensors, clipping a Curtain Driver E1 onto a rail or fitting radiator thermostat heads is set-up work. A smart lock is locksmith work on the door. An H1 or H2 switch, a Dual Relay Module T2 or a 230 V blind motor is mains work on an existing circuit, priced for isolating, connecting and testing.

The home comes next: a multipoint door that needs adjusting before a lock goes on, a bell transformer too weak for the doorbell, a PoE cable through solid brick. Where a job needs a second pair of hands, your pro can ask another pro on JACK to help through the Pro2Pro feature. Several devices, Aqara or other brands, go on one booking for one fixed price.

You buy the Aqara products; JACK does not sell them. Accessories the job needs, such as a replacement cylinder, a deeper back box, a 12 V plug-in supply or a PoE injector, are agreed and added at cost before you book, and so is parking where it has to be paid for. Prefer to pay for time? As a guide, hourly hire is typically £45–£95 per hour for smart home work, £55–£110 for electrical work and £60–£130 for locksmith work, and a full-day handyman booking is a flat £350–£400 for up to 8 hours on site.
