Aqara U200 Retrofit Lock – No Drilling Required!

Upgrade to keyless living with the Aqara U200, which installs effortlessly over your existing lock – no drilling or chiselling required. Today, I’m sharing my experience with the Aqara U200 Retrofit Lock, a game-changer for those looking to enhance their home security without replacing their entire door hardware.

Why Choose the Aqara U200?

The Aqara U200 stands out for several reasons:

Easy Installation:

No need to replace your existing lock—just retrofit it with the U200.

Multiple Unlocking Methods:

Use a fingerprint, password, NFC card, app, or even voice control via smart home integration.

Enhanced Security

Features like auto-locking, tamper alerts, and AES encryption provide peace of mind.

Seamless Smart Home Integration

Works with Aqara Home, Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, and other ecosystems.

Quite Unlocking:

Aqara’s Quite Unlock Mode reduces noise by slowing down the motor during locking or unlocking.

Installation Process

Before installing the Aqara U200, I took a photo of my existing lock. The process was surprisingly simple:

1. Unbox and Check Compatibility:

The U200 is designed to fit over most standard European mortise locks which is very common in Singapore.

2. Attach the Retrofit Unit:

It easily mounts over the existing lock.

3. Sync with the Aqara App:

Setting up access controls and smart features took just a few minutes. Pairing the U200 with the Aqara M3 hub adds the advantage of remote unlocking and real-time notifications.

4. Test the Lock:

After installation, I tested different unlocking methods to ensure everything worked smoothly.

✔ Remote Access – I can grant temporary access to guests or service providers from anywhere.

✔ Enhanced Security – With the Aqara M3 hub, I receive real-time alerts on my phone, keeping me informed of any suspicious activity.
