EG Direct Introduces the Aqara Smart Lock U600 to the UK Market

Smart Access Designed for UK Multi-Point Locks
EG DIRECT is pleased to introduce the Aqara Smart Lock U600, a new smart lock designed specifically for the UK market.
As an official Aqara distributor in the UK, EG Direct is bringing the U600 to door, lock, security and access control professionals looking to offer customers a smarter and more flexible way to manage everyday entry.
The U600 has been designed to work with British multi-point lock applications, allowing users to retain their existing compatible mechanical lock body and replace only the front and rear lock faces. This makes it a practical retrofit option for suitable residential doors, helping customers modernise access without necessarily replacing the full locking system.
Built Around UK Door Requirements
One of the key advantages of the Aqara Smart Lock U600 is its compatibility with a wide range of UK multi-point lock setups.
The lock is designed to adapt to compatible mechanical lock bodies with backsets from 35mm to 70mm, centre distances from 72mm to 92mm, and door thicknesses from 40mm to 80mm.
For installers, locksmiths and door professionals, this creates a strong opportunity to offer smart access control as an upgrade to suitable existing doors, rather than always requiring major door modification or complete lock replacement.
Eight Ways to Unlock
The Aqara Smart Lock U600 gives users multiple ways to unlock their door, providing everyday convenience while reducing reliance on traditional keys.
Unlocking methods include Apple Home Key, fingerprint, numeric password, Aqara NFC card, Bluetooth via the Aqara Home app, Matter unlock, voice unlock through compatible platforms, and physical key access.
