Nuki Smart Lock Installation in Brussels

Three Nuki Smart Lock models for European cylinder door installation

We install and configure Nuki locks in apartments, houses and offices across Brussels and Brabant. Before handover, we check door mechanics, cylinder compatibility, connectivity, updates and the fallback procedure.

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 nearby via Bluetooth or remotely through Wi-Fi or Thread, depending on the model and smart-home setup. We test connectivity before handover.
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 can log the time and user for each action. Logging should be limited to a real need, and affected guests, staff or contractors must be informed.
Compatible with HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home Full integration with your smart home ecosystem.

Nuki models we install

Nuki Smart Lock Go

The entry model in the current range. It uses AA batteries and can add integrated remote access as an option. We check the cylinder and required features before recommending it.

Nuki Smart Lock Pro (5th generation)

Built-in Wi-Fi and Thread with a rechargeable battery. It supports remote access without a separate Bridge when network coverage is adequate.

Nuki Smart Lock Ultra

The compact premium model, supplied with its Universal Cylinder and a rechargeable battery. Installation therefore includes replacing and precisely adjusting the cylinder.

Nuki Keypad 2

An outdoor keypad for code or fingerprint access depending on the setup, without requiring users to install the app. The customer creates the codes and can time-limit them.

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 and expires at checkout. Check building rules and the obligations that apply to your accommodation.
No more key handovers Arrivals can be managed remotely without a physical key handover, provided a documented fallback procedure is in place.
Physical key retained An outside key remains usable only when the cylinder has a compatible emergency or double-clutch function. We test this before installation.
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 the cylinder, the door's mechanical operation, emergency function, available space and connectivity. If the setup is incompatible, we tell you before fitting anything.

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

You install the app and create your own account on your phone. We calibrate the bolt travel, install available updates and test each connection with you.

4

Access codes and permissions

You create your own codes and permissions while we guide you. We retain no password, administrator code or account access after handover.

5

Full testing

We test every opening mode, the outside mechanical key where applicable and the fallback procedure. You receive exclusive account control and can disable activity logging.

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 many European cylinders without modifying your door. Our technician checks compatibility before installation. If the cylinder is not compatible, we discuss the possible replacement beforehand. Only certain old lever locks require a mechanism replacement.
Can I keep my physical keys with a Nuki?
Only when the cylinder permits an outside key while a key or driver is engaged inside. We test this emergency or double-clutch function; without it, the outside key must not be presented as a fallback.
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 app reports a low battery, but the fallback procedure depends on the model. We test the fallback procedure and the outside key only when the cylinder has a double-clutch function. Runtime varies with the model, door, temperature and use.
