- The Nuki Smart Lock Pro (5th gen) is faster and more silent than the previous model
- You can adapt on the lock of your existing entrance door without piercing
- It is now on sale in Europe, and costs less than the previous generation model
The Nuki Smart Lock Pro is one of the best smart locks we have tried, and only received an important update, with a new engine that can ensure its door in just 1.5 seconds, plus a lower price.
The Nuki Smart Lock Pro (5th Gen) has the same brushed stainless steel finish as its predecessors, which makes it one of the most attractive smart locks, but now it is a bit more compact, and can be equipped with a black or black band to mix with the decoration of your home.
The Smart Lock Pro (5th Gen) has also received some significant updates inside, including a new option of locking speeds. ‘Standard’ is almost the same as blocking the door manually, ‘gentle’ takes a little more but it is quieter (a good option if you want to bother people at night), and ‘crazy’ makes more noise, but ensures its door in just 1.5 seconds.
The new blockade works with all the main smart house ecosystems thanks to the matter on the thread, which means that you can use it with its smart start center, smart speakers and other safety hardware, such as cameras and sensors.
It has built-in Wi-Fi, which means that it will work without an additional center, and if you are updating from an existing Nuki intelligent block, you should migrate your data with a minimum of fuss.
Will it fit?
The Smart Lock Pro (5th Gen) is a good option for tenants because, unlike many smart locks, it fits the hardware of its existing door, settling on its current blockade without the need to pierce or incur the anger of its lessor. It is also a good option for apartments, where it is possible that you are not allowed to replace the blockade without permission of the building management company.
Nuki offers an online guide that will help you determine if Smart Lock Pro will work with your particular hardware, and the company recommends that you use it on your phone while inspecting the blockade.
If the Smart Lock Pro does not work with its door, it is worth taking a look at the Switchbot Lock Pro, which is designed to function with 99.9% of the locks in the front door, and offers 16 different entrance modes.
The Nuki Smart Lock Pro (5th Gen) is available to buy now directly from Nuki in the United Kingdom and other European countries for £ 229 (around $ 300 / AU $ 470). That is less than £ 255 (around $ 330 / AU $ 520) for the previous model. Details of prices and launch dates outside Europe have not yet been announced.
