Eufy FamiLock S3 Max vs Nuki Smart Lock Ultra

Full Smart Door Locks comparison in 2026

Updated September 2026
Data from Amazon and official Eufy and Nuki sites.
2026 verdict
Eufy FamiLock S3 Max wins on price, weather resistance, password features and its doorbell.
It undercuts Nuki's flagship, wears an IP65 rating, offers one-time, periodic and anti-peep passwords, and integrates a 2K HDR video doorbell, camera with local storage, rear viewing screen and palm-vein entry, a combination nothing else here matches. Nuki Smart Lock Ultra answers with a higher owner rating, a 2-year warranty versus 18 months, about 6 months of battery life versus 4, and Bluetooth plus Thread connectivity in Nuki's fastest, most premium European-cylinder retrofit. Both support Matter and every major platform. As a do-everything entrance system and on value, the Eufy FamiLock S3 Max takes the win; the Ultra remains the refined choice for Euro doors.
