Nimly

Security and safety should be the easy choice, the kind of “do the right thing” that doesn’t require extra effort or thought.

So when we moved into our new house in 2024, one of the very first things I did was upgrade the front door lock.
We chose a Nimly Touch Pro, because it hits a sweet spot: modern security, practical everyday use, and fewer weak links in normal family life.

What I like most is that the door can stay locked by default, without turning daily routines into hassle.
The family can unlock with fingerprint, which removes the classic “keys forgotten” problem, and it also avoids the very human risk of kids being watched while punching in a code.
No fobs to lose, copy, or keep track of either.

It’s also flexible in the ways that actually matter.
For guests, I keep a dedicated “guest fob” on a lanyard by the door, with a tongue-in-cheek “REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT” tag on it.
It’s hard to miss, easy to grab, and for the habitual “just stepping out for a smoke” moments it’s simple: put it around your neck, head out, come back in, hang it back.
No borrowing keys, no half-panicked “who has it now?”, and no accidental copies drifting around.

On top of that, it’s easy to set up temporary codes for limited situations, like a handyman coming by to fix a leaky pipe.
And if technology ever decides to have a bad day, there’s still a physical key as a fallback.

It’s not the cheapest solution, but I like that Nimly is a Nordic company that seems to understand Nordic weather and real-life usage. 

Time will tell on longevity, it’s a lock, after all, but I’ll circle back with an update after a couple of years and see how it’s holding up.
