Smart Lock, ULTRALOQ U-Bolt + Bridge WiFi Adaptor, 5-in-1 Keyless Entry Door Lock with WiFi, App, Bluetooth and Keypad, Locks for Front Door, Deadbolt, ANSI Grade 1 Certified - Black

Ultraloq Bolt Fingerprint:Build quality and finish are excellent. Installation was easy and everything fits together well. Operation of the lock is exceptionally smooth. Fingerprint and code acceptance responds quickly. App and user maintenance is intuitive and works well. The app does however include a lot of extra "features" that I do not intend to use but cannot be hidden or removed. This is a minor negative and has no impact on lock operation. I did have a minor issue updating firmware and a question about adding an admin user so reached out to customer support. Response was very timely and all was resolved. Time will tell and I have high expectations that this lock will be on my front door to stay.This is not my first experience with smart locks. In comparison, the Ultraloq is preceded by two other "smart" locks that did not work out. First lock was a good lock but suffered one fatal flaw that sent it to the trash. The lock required a Z-wave hub and I had it paired to a Wink hub. Wink turned out to be one of the worst smart products ever produced due to a variety of failures that I won't go into. I also have another Z-wave hub and attempted to pair the lock with that one. The lock would not unpair from the Wink (long gone from my home) and so could not be paired to another hub. Factory reset does not clear the connection and customer support was responsive but no help at all. So much for that one. For our second lock, I tried another major brand. It lasted 6 months. After only 3 months, it started dropping fingerprints. We could add them again but acceptance was flakey at best. By the time it was 6 months old, the outside unit was completely dead (even with new batteries). Only way to lock/unlock at this point was to use a physical key. So much for any smart functionality.Why I chose the Ultraloq: Learned my lesson with the first two locks. 1. Home networking is a well established and perfectly functional system and there should be no need for extra hubs and/or sensors (my opinion). That is reason for selecting a lock that requires no extra hub. 2. Multiple access methods; fingerprint, code, key, phone app. Our second failed lock was fingerprint or key only. Fingerprints can get worn and be difficult to read at times. Codes can be added without the user being present to add a fingerprint. 3. Compatibility with Smart Things and Home Assistant. I am an avid user of Home Assistant for consolidating all of my smart devices into a single application and was able to add the Ultraloq through the Smart Things integration. The interface is limited as it shows only the lock status (locked/unlocked) and battery status (percentage) but that is sufficient and there's always hope of expanding in the future.

Super easy to install and works flawlessly with fingerprints and codes.No more fumbling with keys—unlocking the door is instant.The design looks modern and upgraded my front door’s style.I feel way more secure now, and the battery lasts a long time! For security reasons I don’t want to show my door but it looks amazing!

I like it. The deadbolt works pretty well. I recommend good batteries and hiding the spare key to the deadbolt someplace safe in case the batteries are dead. It does alert me to jamming which isn't the issue, if the deadbolt doesn't lock smoothly, it reports a jam.

The media could not be loaded. Due to the fact that the instructions were easy to understand, I was able to install the lock without the aid of a professional. I believe that the built-in WiFi capabilities make it very simple to link with the smart home gadgets that I already have, which in turn enables me to manage the lock remotely using my smartphone. The keyless entry function is a game-changer; if my hands are full or I am in a hurry, I will no longer have to fumble around for keys again. With its ability to send messages in real time anytime the door is locked or unlocked, the door sensor is one of the features that stands out to me as particularly noteworthy. With this additional layer of protection, I am able to watch who enters my house from any location, which provides me with a sense of complete peace of mind. Particularly essential in my region is the fact that the lock has a waterproof grade of IP65, which guarantees that it will continue to perform properly and dependably even in the face of intense precipitation or other severe weather conditions. The Near Field Communication technology enables me to get entry in a rapid and secure manner using my smartphone or other NFC-enabled devices, therefore completely removing the need for conventional keys. The lock's sleek form not only compliments the beauty of my door, but it also adds a contemporary touch without being intrusive.
