Every brand has a story. Oji has one too—and today, it’s the story of how we grew from a small smart home venture into the leading smart lock provider for Dubai and the UAE, trusted by homeowners, hotel operators, and holiday home companies alike.
With more than 10,000 smart locks installed across the UAE, Oji has redefined security for villas, apartments, gyms, and short-term rentals. Here’s how it all began.
From “Grains” to Oji: The Birth of a Brand
A few years ago, when we first entered the smart home solutions space, we started under the name Grains. The idea was simple: to provide the essentials of security—small but powerful, like grains themselves.
But as our presence grew across retail and e-commerce, the name no longer fit. “Grains” evoked food products—seeds, nuts, and lentils—not cutting-edge technology. We needed a name that resonated with trust, security, and innovation.
That’s when Oji was born.
Inspired by the Ojibwe Dreamcatcher story—where only good dreams pass through while bad ones are filtered out—we created Oji to represent a brand that filters out risks and lets in safety, convenience, and peace of mind.
Our Core Philosophy
At Oji, our philosophy has remained unchanged:
Enhancing lives by providing value-driven, innovative smart solutions for convenience and security.
We believe technology is not just about features; it’s about building trust. In today’s world, where everyone is always connected, Oji creates products that make keyless living possible—secure, reliable, and simple.
Leading the UAE Smart Lock Market
Fast forward to today, Oji has become a household name in the UAE’s smart lock industry. Our success is built on three pillars:
- Scale – Over 10,000 smart locks installed, covering villas, apartments, gyms, and especially holiday homes.
- Specialization – We are now the #1 provider of SIRA-approved smart locks for Dubai’s thriving short-term rental market. Holiday home operators trust Oji because we deliver compliance, security, and guest convenience.
- Innovation – From retrofit locks like the Oji R2 Fingerprint Smart Lock to premium solutions like the Oji Amber and Oji SecureLock Luxe, our range adapts to every property type and budget.
Why Holiday Homes Choose Oji
Dubai’s booming holiday home industry demands reliable, keyless integration. With Oji smart locks:
- Property managers can send temporary codes to guests, cleaners, or maintenance teams.
- Owners get real-time access logs, ensuring complete transparency.
- Tenants and travelers enjoy the convenience of keyless entry, without the risk of lost keys.
This combination of security + hospitality convenience is why Oji has become the go-to choice for holiday homes across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Looking Ahead
The story of Oji is still being written. What started as an idea has grown into UAE’s leading smart lock brand, and our mission is clear: to secure every home, rental, and business in the region with future-ready keyless solutions.
With 10,000+ successful installations and counting, Oji isn’t just building locks—we’re building trust, safety, and smarter living across the UAE.
