Smart locks are one of those things that sound unnecessary until you actually use one. The Nuki Smart Lock is currently on sale for $149 during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, which is $50 off its usual price, and the lowest price for it we’ve seen so far.
The Nuki Smart Lock installs over your existing deadbolt, on the inside of your door, so that you don’t have to replace the entire lock or drill new holes. Once it’s installed, you can lock and unlock your door using your phone, automatically unlock the door when you arrive home and share digital keys with family, guests or renters through the app.
The lock also works with smart home platforms like Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings, and supports Matter over Thread connectivity, which helps it integrate into modern smart home setups without you needing to drop more money on extra hardware.
Smart locks like this are really more about everyday convenience than anything else. It’s the kind of thing that’s useful when you want to let someone into your place while you’re not home, when you don’t want to carry your keys with you or when you just don’t want to think about whether you locked the door when you leave your place.
