Problem
Traditional deadbolt locks require physical keys, which can be lost, duplicated without authorization, or inconvenient to manage for multiple users. This lack of digital control over physical access creates security vulnerabilities and limits the ability to grant or revoke entry remotely.
Solution
Nuki provides a smart lock system that retrofits onto existing deadbolts, enabling keyless entry and digital access management. The system installs on the interior side of the door, preserving the exterior appearance and allowing for quick, tool-assisted setup. Users can control the lock via a mobile application, granting temporary or permanent access to family, friends, or service providers through digital keys. The platform also offers automated locking and unlocking based on proximity and provides a detailed activity log for all access events. Data privacy is prioritized with local data storage and no mandatory account creation for core functionality.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes homeowners and renters seeking enhanced convenience and security for their residential properties, as well as property managers and vacation rental hosts requiring streamlined access control for guests.
