The best smart lock in Saudi Arabia for 2026 matches your door and use: Lumive Guardian G1 for a 35-55 mm door with a 4585 lock body, Lumive Guardian G12 for a compatible full-mortise entrance needing IP55 protection, and Lumive Simplex V1 for an indoor 60-90 mm cylinder. Choose G12 Camera when visitor view and a doorbell are requirements; always measure and confirm fit before ordering. “Best” means best fit for a defined door and need.
Start with your door
Measure before comparing features, then confirm the lock body and door thickness before ordering.
- Measure the full door thickness at the lock position. This shows whether the door is within a published range: G1 supports 35-55 mm, while V1 fits 60-90 mm.
- Measure the current lock body’s height, depth, and pocket shape. G1 and the G12 variants here use a 4585 body, but their backset and centres breakdown is unavailable, so measure and confirm it.
- Identify whether the door needs a full lock or a replacement cylinder. G1 and G12 are full mortise locks; V1 is an adjustable cylinder rather than a full lock body.
- Record the door material and opening direction. Note whether it is wood or metal and opens left or right, inward or outward, then confirm any installation requirements with Lumive.
- Check exposure to sun, dust, and water. The listed G12 variants are IP55 and rated from -25°C to 60°C; V1 is for indoor use only.
- Check connectivity and emergency access. Confirm the model’s connection and emergency-access requirements with Lumive before ordering.
Read the guide to choosing a smart lock by door type and browse the smart door lock category. Send measurements and photos of both door faces, the edge, and the current lock to Lumive before ordering.

Lumive Guardian G1: for a door with known thickness
G1 suits a buyer whose door is 35-55 mm thick with a pocket compatible with a 4585 body. It unlocks by fingerprint, anti-peeping passcode, RFID Smart Card, app remote unlocking, and emergency mechanical key; 5 cards are included. It uses Wi-Fi and the Lumive App.
Power comes from 4 included AAA batteries, with an emergency power port and mechanical-key fallback. Its list price SAR 449.99 (see the product page for the current offer). Do not choose it outside the thickness range or with an incompatible pocket; measure the pocket and backset and confirm them before ordering.
Lumive Guardian G12 WiFi: for an entrance needing direct network access
This variant suits an entrance when a 4585 body fits and you want Wi-Fi without a camera or doorbell button. Unlocking methods are the Lumive App, 3D fingerprint, M1 RFID Card, passcode, and mechanical key.
It has a USB Type-C emergency-power port; confirm battery type and count. It is IP55 and rated from -25°C to 60°C, but this does not establish door fit. Its list price SAR 474.99 (see the product page for the current offer). Do not choose it before confirming thickness and pocket fit, or if a camera is required.
Lumive Guardian G12 Camera: for seeing a visitor before unlocking
Choose this variant when a 4585-compatible entrance needs a built-in camera and doorbell. A caller can be viewed and allowed or refused through the Lumive App before the door opens. It also unlocks by 3D fingerprint, passcode, M1 RFID Card, and mechanical key, and connects over Wi-Fi.
It provides USB Type-C emergency power; confirm the battery type and count. It is IP55 and rated from -25°C to 60°C. Its list price SAR 599.99 (see the product page for the current offer). Do not choose it if you require a version without a camera, or before confirming door thickness, pocket fit, and field of view.
Lumive Simplex V1 Black: for an adjustable indoor cylinder
V1 suits an indoor 60-90 mm door when replacing the cylinder—not the full lock body—is appropriate. It unlocks by fingerprint, keypad, Lumive App, RFID Smart Card, and mechanical key; 5 cards and 2 backup keys are included. It uses Bluetooth, and remote access requires a separate gateway that is not included.
It runs on 3 pre-installed 1.5V AAA batteries and has a Type-C emergency-power port. Its list price SAR 499.99 (see the product page for the current offer). Do not choose it for an exterior door: it is indoor-use only and has no published weather rating. Confirm the cylinder measurement before ordering.

FAQ
How do I know whether a smart lock fits my door?
Measure door thickness, the lock body or cylinder, pocket depth, and backset. Record the door material and opening direction, then confirm any unclear installation requirements with Lumive. Match the published ranges: G1 is 35-55 mm and V1 is 60-90 mm, while G12 thickness requires confirmation. Send the measurements and photos of the front, edge, and current lock to Lumive before ordering.
Will the lock work during a power or internet outage?
Published local methods include fingerprint, passcode, card, and mechanical key, depending on the model. Confirm the G12 battery type and count before ordering. App functions follow the connection type: Wi-Fi on G1 and the G12 WiFi and Camera variants, and Bluetooth on V1, which needs a separate gateway for away access.
What should I do if the lock battery is empty?
G1 provides an emergency power port and a mechanical-key fallback. The G12 WiFi and Camera variants and V1 provide a Type-C emergency port, and their unlocking methods also include a mechanical key. Confirm that the emergency hardware is accessible before ordering. Confirm the G12 battery type and count before ordering.
Can a smart lock handle Saudi heat and outdoor use?
The G12 WiFi and Camera variants covered here have a published IP55 rating and operating range from -25°C to 60°C. That information does not prove suitability for every gate or uncovered position; confirm pocket, thickness, and exposure. V1 is indoor-use only, so do not use it on an exterior door.
Which lock suits an indoor 60-90 mm cylinder door?
V1 may suit an indoor 60-90 mm door when cylinder replacement is appropriate. If you rent, confirm that replacement is allowed. It offers fingerprint, keypad, app, cards, and keys; away access requires a separate gateway. If the door needs a full lock, compare G1 or G12 after measuring. Confirm temporary-access capabilities and their management details with Lumive.
Who installs the lock, and what if it does not fit?
Lumive offers paid installation in the listed cities, with prices based on lock quantity and whether service accompanies a product purchase. Send measurements and photos before booking so fit and required work can be assessed. If any dimension remains unclear, confirm it with Lumive before ordering; the published store policy allows a return within 14 days.
