6 Ways a Smart Lock Can Make Your Life Easier

Smart locks have moved from “nice to have” to genuinely useful. But for many homeowners, the question isn’t about convenience, it’s about security.

Can a smart lock actually keep your home safe, or are you trading proper protection for a bit of tech?

With Ultion Nuki, you don’t have to choose. Here are six ways it makes daily life easier, without compromising on the security that matters.

1. Never Wonder If You Locked the Door Again

We’ve all had that moment. You’re halfway to work, settled into your holiday, or just about to fall asleep when the question hits: “Did I lock the door?”

With Ultion Nuki, you can check your phone and see whether your door is locked or unlocked in real time. Forgot to lock it? Sort it remotely from wherever you are whether that’s at work or halfway across the world.

But here’s the better solution: set your door to lock itself automatically after you leave. Choose anywhere from 30 seconds to 30 minutes, and the lock does the job for you.

2. Give Access Without Handing Over Keys

Instead of hiding keys under plant pots or coordinating handovers, you can give temporary access through the app.

Set a code that works for a few hours, a few days, or specific times of the week. When they’re done, the code expires automatically.

You stay in control. Always.

3. Get Notifications When People Come and Go

Want to know when the kids get home from school? Or when the cleaner’s finished? Ultion Nuki logs every time the door is locked or unlocked, and who did it.

You’re not monitoring anyone. You’re just staying informed. It’s peace of mind without being intrusive.

4. Your Door Unlocks as You Approach

Arriving home with arms full of shopping bags doesn’t mean struggling with keys anymore.

Ultion Nuki uses geofencing technology to detect when you’re approaching home. The app unlocks your door automatically as you get close.

It’s the kind of convenience that feels like magic the first time, then simply becomes part of making your life easier.

5. Unlock Your Door However You Want

Phone out of reach? Use your smartwatch. Hands full? Use voice control. Prefer a code? Use the keypad. Batteries dead? Use your physical key.

Ultion Nuki gives you options. Different situations call for different methods, and you’ve got all of them covered.

6. Works With Your Smart Home

Already using Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit? Ultion Nuki integrates seamlessly through Matter..

Lock your door as part of your “goodnight” routine. Unlock it when you disarm your alarm. Set it to lock automatically when you leave the house.

It fits into your existing setup without adding complexity. Just another way to make life easier.

But What About Security?

This is the big question, and it’s a fair one.

A smart lock is only as secure as the cylinder underneath. If that can be snapped, picked, or drilled, it doesn’t matter how smart your lock is.

That’s where Ultion Nuki is different.

At its core sits an Ultion 3 Star PLUS cylinder, which is the same lock that stops snapping, picking, bumping, drilling, and even blowtorching.

And if someone somehow manages to break-in through snapping your registered Ultion lock? Our £5,000 guarantee covers your uninsured losses.

We back our products with real money because we’re confident they work.
