Nuki Smart Lock Installation in Brussels

Nuki Smart Lock range - Made in Europe

We've fitted over 200 Nuki locks across Brussels apartments, townhouses and offices. Whether you're tired of fumbling for keys, an Airbnb host done with midnight key handovers, or a business that needs to track who enters and when -- we know every Nuki model inside out. Janssens Serrurier has been a professional Nuki installer in Brussels and Brabant since the range first launched in Belgium.

Why choose Nuki?

People often ask us why we recommend Nuki over other brands. It comes down to this: Nuki is Europe's leading smart lock, designed in Graz, Austria, and it fits onto your existing cylinder without touching your door:

Smartphone access Unlock via Bluetooth (range of about 10 m) or Wi-Fi with the Bridge. Most of our clients have their door open before they reach the landing.
Auto-Lock & Auto-Unlock The door locks when you leave and opens as you approach. Geofencing works well in most Brussels neighbourhoods -- we fine-tune it on site to avoid false triggers.
Temporary access codes Create 6-digit codes valid for an hour, a day or a week. Handy for the delivery driver, the Tuesday cleaner, or Airbnb guests arriving at 11 pm.
Access history The app logs every opening with the time and user. Particularly useful for landlords who want to confirm the cleaning was done before the next guest arrives.
Compatible with HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home Full integration with your smart home ecosystem.
Nuki ecosystem: keypad, fob, smartphone app, Apple Watch, HomePod

Nuki models we install

Nuki Smart Lock 4.0

The flagship model. Bluetooth, Matter and Thread. Runs on 4 AA batteries that last roughly 4 to 6 months depending on usage. Clips onto most European cylinders without screws -- we check compatibility before every install.

Nuki Smart Lock 4.0 Pro

Built-in Wi-Fi and a rechargeable battery via USB-C (about 3 months per charge). No separate Bridge needed. This is the model we recommend most for Airbnb hosts.

Nuki Keypad 2.0

Weather-resistant keypad mounted next to your door. Essential for Airbnb check-in (guests don't need the app) and practical for children who don't carry a phone.

Nuki Bridge

The small plug-in device that connects your Nuki to your Wi-Fi. Without it, you're limited to Bluetooth range (about 10 m). With it, you can unlock from anywhere and get real-time alerts.

Nuki Opener

Connects to your existing intercom so you can buzz open the building entrance from the app. Very popular in Brussels apartment buildings where visitors need to pass through two doors.

Perfect for Airbnb and short-term rentals

Airbnb

A common question from Airbnb hosts: "I manage 3 apartments in Brussels and I can't keep running around handing over keys." Nuki solves that for good.

Automated self check-in Guests receive a unique code that activates at check-in time and expires at checkout. No more key safes on the facade (banned in many Brussels municipalities anyway).
No more key handovers No more running back and forth. Our host clients tell us it frees up 5 to 10 hours a week when they manage multiple properties.
Physical key retained Nuki sits on top of your existing cylinder without replacing it. Your physical keys still work -- a safety net that puts everyone at ease.
Calendar integration Connect your Airbnb, Booking or Smoobu calendar: codes are created and expire automatically with each reservation. Zero manual work.

Our installation service

The full installation usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Here's how it goes:

1

Compatibility check

We check your cylinder (length, type, interior protrusion). About 85% of Brussels doors are directly compatible. If yours isn't, we'll tell you straight away.

2

Nuki lock installation

The Nuki clips onto the inside of your cylinder. No drilling, no glue, no door modification. If you're a tenant, you can remove it when you move out.

3

Smartphone setup

We install the app on your phone (iPhone or Android), calibrate the bolt travel and test Bluetooth connectivity. We walk you through everything before we leave.

4

Access codes and permissions

We create your first temporary codes, set up family access and configure Airbnb integration if you're a host. The Keypad and Bridge are installed at this stage if you've ordered them.

5

Full testing

We test every opening mode with you: smartphone, Keypad code, auto-lock, geofencing. We don't leave until everything works perfectly.

If your cylinder isn't compatible (it mostly happens with older Brussels apartment doors), we can replace it on the spot with a Nuki-compatible security cylinder from Mul-T-Lock, EVVA or DOM. Give us a call on 0495 205 400 to book your installation.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Nuki lock compatible with my door?
Yes, the Nuki fits most European cylinders without modifying your door. Our technician checks compatibility before installation. If your cylinder isn't compatible, we replace it on the spot. From our experience, 9 out of 10 doors in Belgium use a standard European cylinder, so compatibility is rarely an issue. Only certain old lever locks require a mechanism replacement.
Can I keep my physical keys with a Nuki?
Yes, the Nuki doesn't replace your lock. It mounts on top of the existing cylinder, on the inside of the door. Your keys still work as before, in addition to your smartphone. This is something our customers really appreciate: if the battery dies or there is a technical issue, you always have your regular key as a backup.
Is the Nuki suitable for Airbnb?
Absolutely. The Nuki lets you create temporary access codes for each guest, with automatic activation and expiration. Ideal for self check-in without key handover. With the Keypad 2.0, your guests don't even need to download an app: a simple 6-digit code is all it takes. Our host customers tell us this has completely eliminated scheduling coordination issues with guests.
What happens if the Nuki battery dies?
The Nuki alerts you weeks before the battery runs out via the app. In emergencies, external USB-C power lets you open the door. And remember, your physical keys always work, Nuki or not. Batteries last an average of 4 to 6 months depending on usage. During our installations, we configure the alerts so you are never caught off guard.
