2026 verdict
Between a discreet European retrofit and a mainstream US push-button deadbolt, the smart lock that covers more ground here is the Nuki Smart Lock Pro, thanks to broader connectivity, wider platform integrations and a richer unlock system.
It reaches Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Thread with Matter, works natively with Google Home, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings and Home Assistant, and adds one-time and periodic guest passwords once its optional Keypad accessory is attached. The Schlage Arrive answers with a three-year electronics warranty against the Pro's two years and a physical keypad built into the lock itself, no accessory required, though its own platform support stops at Google Home and Alexa. Both keep a physical key as backup and mount without the same door prep, the Nuki over an existing European cylinder, the Schlage as a full US deadbolt. Buyers with a European door who want the most connected, upgradeable lock should choose the Nuki Smart Lock Pro, while US homeowners who want push-button entry built in from day one should pick the Schlage Arrive.
