How does the Ultion Nuki Smart Handle work?

Several of the Nuki handle’s operating methods include:

Auto-lock when you leave – You can set the door to automatically lock after it’s closed, using the Nuki App.
Auto-unlock when you’re nearby – The Nuki can use your smartphone’s location to detect when you’re close to home, and unlock for you.
Lock or unlock at a press – Touching the internal ring will lock or unlock your door, and with the Lock ‘n’ Go feature the handle locks for 20 seconds (this time can be adjusted) then automatically locks.
Access by a touch – You can set up the Ultion Nuki Smart Handle to work with a keypad or fingerprint recognition.
Key fob entry – Keyless access that unlocks your door from up to 15 metres away. Permissions can be set via the Nuki App.
Manual key entry – Of course, the Ultion Nuki Smart Handle also works the traditional way, with a key, and at its heart is a tamper-proof Ultion barrel that conforms to up-to-date British Standards in security.
