ULTRALOQ U-Bolt Pro WiFi Smart Lock with Door Sensor, 8-in-1 Keyless Entry Door Lock with Fingerprint ID, App Remote Control, Built-in WiFi Keypad Deadbolt, Auto Unlock, IP65 Waterproof, Easy InstallClimatePartner certified

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.

It’s great item.I returned google nest door lock double price than this product.Nest wasn’t fix with my door cause there is something round part.This product is fit and easy.But can’t work with google home app.Auto lock, simple design, finger print…. Good price.I love itHigh recommendation.

This is the first smart lock I've owned and it's worked really well. I primarily use the fingerprint sensor. I originally had some issues with the door sensor (which detects if the door is open or shut) falling off my wall. I got in touch with their customer service and they sent out a door sensor that used screws instead of adhesive and that problem is resolved. I have run into a few quirks (see cons) section, but they are more minor and I think the lock has improved with firmware updates.Pros- A variety of authentication options (fingerprint, keypad codes, app, and backup physical key). I typically use the fingerprint for every day use, but I have also issued a keypad code to visitors. I haven't had to use the physical key, but it's nice to have the option for peace of mind.- Fully featured app. You can manually lock/unlock the door, issue temporary access codes to visitors for certain timeframes, etc.- Responsive customer service- The lock connects directly to wifi without the need for a hub- Uses 4 AAA batteries and the app warns you when the charge is low. I use rechargeable batteries and they typically last a few months.Cons- Occasionally I've had issues with the lock not closing automatically when the door shuts. Taking out the batteries and then putting them back in fixes this, though.- The app sometimes can be slow to respond. This normally isn't a showstopper, but I've had it take a long time to let me change settings before.

First, I purchased this lock in November of 2024, but just got around to installing it at our beach place about a month ago. I have three other, different model U-Bolts on various doors at our primary home - they have all worked well for almost a year. Installation was simple and quick. The lock functions well except for the fingerprint function, which was also a bust on the other "print capable" locks that I have. I don't use that feature, so don't really care. This is the first U-bolt I have had with the WiFi bridge as opposed to built-in WiFi, and I have found it to be practically useless. I was initially ablr to get the bridge paired to the lock and access the lock via WiFi; however, this lasted for about a day, and has been completely useless since then. I have restarted the lock (removed and reinserted batteries), restarted the bridge, repeated both in reverse order as well as simultaneously, unpaired and repaired the bridge, yada, yada, yada. None of this has helped. The app insists that the bridge is paired, but always times out when I attempt to activate the lock remotely to cycle it or program a new access code for a guest or family member. All works well for programming/activation when I am in BT range, but I live 300 miles away, so a bit too far for BT. Should have bought the built in WiFi version that I already knew worked, but this one was cheaper. Live and learn. Beware the bridge!Update: U-Tec Customer Service responded to my review, upgraded the bridge firmware remotely, fixed whatever was causing the problem, and made my lock functional. This all occurred without my making any direct contact with them, and in just three days time. I am now very happy with the lock, and quite impressed with CS.
