Nuki smart lock · Vendée (85)
Nuki smart lock in Vendée, fitted and set up in your home
I fit the Nuki smart lock on your door: you open it with your phone, a code, your fingerprint or a remote control.
In short
- Phone, code, fingerprint or remote control: you get in without a key, and so do your family.
- A key still works, even with a flat battery.
- I come and check your door before the quote, at your home.

The equipment
What I install
Smart Lock Pro
It fits on the inside, onto your existing lock: you keep your keys. Your lock must open from the outside even with a key left in on the inside: I check this.
Smart Lock Ultra
It comes with its own lock cylinder, which replaces yours: the answer if yours won't open when a key is in on the other side.
Day to day
How you open it
Phone
From the app, even from afar, or by holding it near the keypad (Tap to Unlock).
Smartwatch
Hold it near the keypad, without taking out your phone, if your watch is compatible.
Code
On the keypad outside, one code per person, time-limited if you like. Ideal for a holiday let.
Fingerprint
Your finger on the keypad, nothing to remember.
Remote control
One button, for children or anyone without a smartphone.
By hand, from inside
You turn the lock as before.
With a key, from outside
Your key still works, even with a flat battery.
The installation
Fitting, set-up and follow-up
I check your door before you buy anything, then fit and set up the lock. The Nuki account is created in your name, and I remove my access in front of you. I show you how to create a code, invite a family member and read the history log.
Your questions
Frequently asked questions
Is my door suitable?
Most front doors are. To find out yourself, try the two-key test, in one minute, with the door open:
- Put a key in the lock on the inside and turn it slightly.
- Put a second key in on the outside.
- Try to turn it.
- It turns: the Smart Lock Pro, fitted onto your lock.
- It's blocked: the Smart Lock Ultra, supplied with its own cylinder.
Not sure? I check it at your home, when I come to quote.
How long does the battery last, and is there a subscription?
- Battery life: 4 to 6 months with remote access over Wi-Fi, 7 to 9 months without.
- Charging: about 2 hours; the app warns you beforehand.
- Flat battery or internet down: the door still opens, by hand from inside, with the key from outside.
- Subscription: none, neither for the app nor for remote access.
What does my insurance say?
- Every policy has its own requirements: check the type of lock required and the theft cover.
- With the Ultra, your cylinder is replaced: talk to your insurer before choosing.
And with my alarm?
- The alarm is controlled in the Tydom app, the lock in the Nuki app.
- A Nuki code does not control the alarm.
Lost phone, hacking: what can I do?
- Lost phone: from another authorised phone, you remove its authorisation; in the meantime, the key, keypad or remote control still work. Make sure two people in the household have the app and the security code.
- Hacking: end-to-end encrypted communication, and I switch on automatic updates. The keypad locks after several wrong codes.
Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home?
- Apple Home and Alexa: yes.
- Google Home: yes, except locking by voice, which isn't possible yet.
Tell me what you have: I'll check.
Tenant, elderly relative, holiday let?
- Tenant: yes, everything comes off; keep the original cylinder and keys for when you move out. Home automation for tenants
- Elderly relative: a lock for an elderly relative
- Holiday let: a lock for a holiday let
