Very smart smart-lock!
This is a great lock. The fingerprint reader is a definitely a plus and works for me everytime. Other household users have a little difficulty, but I’m sure it is simply user error or they just don’t have good scannable fingerprints. Yes, that is a thing… my mom’s fingerprint won’t work for anything, even her phone. The BEST feature is the Auto-Unlock. I don’t have to do anything and it unlocks as I approach. I have it set to turn the status light on, so that I’m sure it has worked. The ring around the fingerprint reader turns green. I have to add that auto-unlock did not work correctly when we first installed so if I had written this review when I 1st received the smart lock, it would have been much different, however, Customer Service was terrific! They had me try a few things and after a few days – I’m on the East coast, they are the West coast, so time difference – and a firmware update, it works perfectly. The app is very intuitive and easy to use as well. I can unlock 5 ways:* Auto-unlock as I approach the door* Numeric Code – can have multiple for different users. You can also set temporary codes, or schedule based codes* Fingerprint – multiple for different users* App controlled* Old School keyI’m very pleased with my purchase. I definitely recommend and would repurchase myself.

Four Ways to Unlock With NO Monthly Fees?! Now THIS is the Smart Lock You’ve Been Looking For!
Let’s keep this really simple – just get this lock. Why you ask? Fine, fine, I guess I should explain the *why* behind getting this lock. But be warned, this is a long review…Truly, the U-Bolt Pro is everything a lock should be – literally. By biggest gripe with smart locks is that they usually have two features – some sort of key manual access and then some sort of technology. Maybe it’s a key unlock and a smart phone app, or maybe it’s a key unlock and a number pad, or maybe it’s a key unlock and a finger print reader. But this lock, my friends, has *all* those things.First off, in case anyone has not said this, you CAN get this lock rekeyed to match your existing set of keys. I love, love, love this – now I do not have to be stuck with some new random key for the deadbolt in addition to my current house key. The strange thing is, while the manufactures site states that this uses a Schlage style barrel, it actually uses a Kwikset key? Odd right? The locksmith I had rekey the barrels (which yes, you can remove from the lock and can take to your local lock smith!) was baffled as well. Personally this was not an issue for me (more of a great surprise actually) as I already had Kwikset keys on my house, but if you were expecting Schlage then you’d be disappointed as the barrel does not work with them. I assume one could buy a Schlege barrel and place it in the lock… however my locksmith warned against this as the tail is quite long on the included barrel and he did not believe there were any Schlege style barrels with such a long tail. So your mileage may vary – but TL;DR, this lock can be rekeyed to Kwikset keys!But back to what I was saying – I cannot, I repeat cannot, understate how important the all-the-above options to unlock the deadbolt was to me. You have SO many choices to unlock the door – and yes at first that might sound silly – but trust me, it’s great. Especially for people like my parents who do not want to use a smart phone app.Let me give you a general run down of how all these features have made my life simpler. When I pull into my neighborhood, the app alerts me that the locks are ready to unlock when I approach my house. And when I pull into my driveway, the locks instantly unlock so I do not even have to take the keys out of my pocket to get inside. And when I finally step into the house, the locks (after a set amount of time I preconfigured) will auto lock behind me. Just like that, with my hands full of groceries, I did not even have to pull the keys or my phone out of my pocket. Wow. And this becomes exponentially better when it’s raining and I am not fumbling for my keys to unlock the door! I can just run inside barely getting soaked! Now it’s not always perfect, maybe once or twice a month I have a Bluetooth issue where the lock does not detect I’m there but hey, I can stomach that inconvenience – especially when you have other options to unlock the door.Leading to my next comment – the fingerprint and pin pad unlocking. Maybe I left my phone at home or perhaps the lock did not detect me at the door. No problem, finger print scanner to the rescue. Just one two second hold with my finger and the door unlocks without a hitch! And when I’ve had gloves on and that’s not an option, I can unlock the door with the number pad. Also FYI, these are the two methods my parents prefer the most – they don’t want to have the app on their phones, but they also would like for a way to unlock the door without having to fumble with a key. A fingerprint or a number code stored locally on the device (that can work even without Wifi!) is excellent for them. Now if you want to unlock the device from the app when say you’re at at work for example and no where near your house, you will need the bridge – but otherwise the device functions entirely on Bluetooth locally.If all else fails – my phone did not connect, the finger print reader was not reading my thumb for some reason, or perhaps the lock is dead and the number pad cannot function – I can just flip down the lid and insert my traditional house key. Did you count that? There are FOUR different ways to unlock this deadbolt! And did I mention there are NO MONTHLY FEES fees for this?!Okay okay look I concede, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. There’s one eency weency issue: Alexa and this lock hate each other. Perhaps this can be fixed with a software update… but the issue still persists to this day for me. Now the lock will pair fine with Alexa, and I can even ask Alexa to unlock the device or lock the device with my voice. But, that’s where the problem begins. First you have to tell Alexa a pin to unlock the deadbolt… which seems crazy to me. Yes I know, the whole point is so that no one can just shout “Alexa, unlock the front door!” from outside your house and the Alexa device inside hears the command and unlocks… but also, I really would prefer not to have to tell Alexa a pin every single time, especially when other people around me outside could hear such a pin. However honestly it wouldn’t matter if they did hear my pin as, surprise, Alexa cannot unlock this lock! She will lie to you and say she has but oh no, do not believe her beautiful voice – she is a liar! The Alexa app will say the door is unlocked too, but that is also false. It simply just does not work with Alexa – and if that is something incredibly important to you then this may not be the lock for you. With that said, I really don’t believe it should be, though; I never once felt the need to unlock the deadbolt with Alexa nor ever found the idea more convenient than using the location proximity/the app, my fingerprint, the number pad, or the key itself. Maybe it would have been nice when I’m already inside to make sure the door is locked, but isn’t that what the auto lock feature or the app is for already? And I guess this issue could be solved down the line with an update too, so maybe by the time you are reading this the whole paragraph is a nonissue!Wow, I typed a lot here – though when you’re spending almost $200 on a lock, you want to make sure that your money is going towards a good investment. I can confidently say that yes, it absolutely is – heck, I bought three of them, dropping more than half a grand… and without a doubt, it’s been 100% worth it. If you want a lock with multiple smart unlocking options, a physical key option, and no monthly subscription, you found it. Installation was simple too! I just really, really, really like this lock if you can’t tell by now – and I hope you will too.

A great improvement over the Schlage smartlock zwave version
This is a great little smart lock. My only issue with it was with the installation, as for whatever reason if the bolt does not go all the way you get a doorlock jammed error, and the remote functions of the door are halted until it gets “unjammed”.Basically you need to make sure your the hole in the door frame has at least 1″ depth or you will keep getting the door jammed error message and will be only able to open the door locally. Not only that but while the door is the jammed state you keep getting an annoying beep that will make you fix the thing really fast.With the bad stated, all other functions are really nice. You can add users remotely and provide them access with a code or through the app, which is very neat. Those users can be main users or temporary ones. The main users will have access 24/7, while with the temporary ones you can assign particular times at which they are allowed to open the door. Very nice.The title of this review makes a reference to the Schlage smart doorlock because I bought one of those a few years ago, and while it served me well, it doesn’t come close to the features of this unit. For once, you cannot add users remotely. Actually, there are actually no users in my version of that doorlock. You simply provide codes and cannot eliminate access to those codes as you wish, which leaves that smart doorlock with way fewer use cases than this UltraLock.Connecting to the wifi dongle was fast and I made sure to create a Wifi network with 2.4Ghz only. I was once a network engineer (I actually wrote that I am a network engineer and went back and used the past tense because it’s been a while since I was in that profession) but I am quite sure mostly any apt technology user will be able to install it.The physical installation is as easy as any other traditional, non-smart door lock. If you can manage to install a doorlock you will be able to install this one because it is the same.As for usability and functionality, The users haven’t had any complaints. My mother and sister bought units for them because they liked this so much.Some reviewers have mentioned issues with the fingerprint reader. Often I have to put my finger twice before it recognizes it. Nothing more. For me, it works perfectly as moving the finger a bit is nothing to me, because the doorlock lets you know immediately that it failed to recognize the fingerprint and you immediately are allowed to put the finger again for a second read that almost always final.Before I was able to setup my fingerprints at my mother’s house I used the app to open the door and it was also a breeze. Work perfectly, no problems at all. The firgerprint is faster and more convenient obviously and will be the preferred option for those users with unrestricted access to the house.You can also set passcodes to users and there is a neat functionality that adds security and it is that you can type phantom numbers in the code and the doorlock picks the correct numbers and authorizes access. When I say phantom numbers is that if for instance your access code is 12345, you can type xxx12345yyy (with xxx and yyy being any 0 to 9 digits) and the doorlock will recognize the proper access code and will open. This is useful and a very good security practice as peakers and potential intruders will have a harder time figuring out your passcode, as would those potential intruders trying to figure out your codes based on the wear of the buttons (the most used numbers are likely to show more wear than those not used).What else? I think this it. As you can see, the product is not perfect but it is close, and it doesn’t warrant to deduct a star because it is way better than a 4 out of 5 stars product. If I could give the product a 4.8 stars rating, a solid 95.Highest recommendation as you will be able to let people in to your house from anywhere, and will also be able to stop allowing them to come in. This is golden to those with homes or apartments being rented for short term stays and those living alone who need to grant access to personnel for whatever reason. Only being able to add users and give them specific times to get in is just way too cool of a feature. Great job.

So I purchased this about a year and a half ago, and ended up getting the V1 version of this hardware.My experience in setting it up, adding users, and then daily usage of the lock was all good, though I did have some trouble with the install – mainly because I’m not very handy. Some of the features on the app are not for me – like the geofencing options, just due to the nature of permeant work from home and the pandemic, but all of the features included make sense. I especially like that I can give someone temporary access to the home remotely, or link the device for smart home automation purposes.I did run into an issue with my original unit. The fingerprint scanner just quit on me one day, though all other features worked without issue. I reached out to support, following the warranty process, and they were extremely helpful. I first walked through all of the troubleshooting steps, and then we deemed it a defective fingerprint reader.Since the launch, there is now a V2 of the hardware, which is what I was replaced with. V2 addresses all of the shortcomings and challenges I ran into with the installation of the hardware, specifically notable a MUCH improved version of the cable that links the front interface to the main unit, and the backplate mount is much better. A really good company doesn’t just launch and forget a product – they continue to upgrade and iterate it. It’s great to see Ultraloq is invested in their products and have made some enhancements in the one year since I bought it.I will certainly look at Ultraloq for more products in the future based on my experience, and I would recommend them to any family/friends based on my experiences.

It is a good lock and it has a good app to manage it remotely. I am very happy with it overall, however the battery does have some issues.

UPDATE, customer service was very easy to work with and helped resolve the issue, nice lock.——-So far we like the lock but started to get glitches after about 2 weeks. Auto lock doesn’t always work after manually unlock from the inside. Works fine after unlock from outside which indicates software issue. Have not yet dealt with customer service
