Smart Lock manufacturer Nuki unveils its product line in the United States market
The European smart lock brand, Nuki, has recently expanded its horizons by entering the US market. Known for its commitment to privacy and smart home compatibility, the Nuki Smart Lock is set to offer a compelling solution for US consumers seeking a secure, user-friendly smart lock.
## Key Features
The Nuki Smart Lock stands out with its Auto Unlock feature, which uses smartphone detection to unlock the door as you approach your home, ensuring a hands-free and hassle-free entry[1][5]. The lock also offers multiple access options, including remote and local control via the Nuki App, smartphone, smartwatch, PIN code, fingerprint recognition (with Keypad 2), and a physical key[2][5].
Privacy is at the heart of Nuki's design philosophy. The lock does not store personal and security-relevant data on its servers, ensuring user privacy[1][5]. It also employs end-to-end encryption, similar to online banking standards, to protect user data.
The lock's compact 2.2-inch diameter and sleek stainless steel body make it an aesthetically pleasing addition to any home[1][2]. The latest Nuki Smart Lock boasts improved efficiency and durability thanks to its new brushless motor, borrowed from electric vehicle technology[1][3].
The lock supports multiple wireless protocols, including Wi-Fi, Thread (for Matter-based ecosystems), and Bluetooth, offering flexible integration with popular smart home systems[3]. Additionally, the Nuki Door Sensor provides extra peace of mind by reporting not only lock status but also whether the door is open or closed[2][5].
## Notable Benefits
The Nuki Smart Lock boasts a long battery life of up to 12 months when using Bluetooth or Thread, with Wi-Fi usage reducing this estimate by about half[1][3]. The lock is easily rechargeable via a magnetic USB cable.
The high-speed locking mode offers both faster and quieter locking and unlocking[1]. The lock installs easily on the inside of the door, mounting over existing single-cylinder deadbolts, making it compatible with most US doors without requiring a locksmith[3].
Users can operate the lock from anywhere using the Nuki App, or use it locally via Bluetooth, keypad, or fingerprints[2][3]. While a subscription-free experience is available, Nuki Premium adds features like remote status checks and open door notifications for enhanced peace of mind (currently available as a free early-bird offer)[2].
## Market Availability
The Nuki Smart Lock is now available for purchase on Amazon, with the lock and Keypad 2 priced at $229 and $159 respectively[5]. The lock will also be offered through Nuki’s dedicated online shop later in 2025[3][5].
By combining robust privacy, versatile access methods, and smart home integration, the Nuki Smart Lock offers a compelling entry for US consumers seeking a secure, user-friendly smart lock solution[1][3][5]. The lock is compatible with various smart home platforms, including Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, and more.
