ULTRALOQ U-Bolt Pro

I bought this in January 2022 and installed it on our front door. Easy to install, works well, and the features are useful. I've had no issues with the fingerprint feature, the codes work and you can assign different codes to different profiles, keeping track of who comes in and out that way, which is nice if you're out of the house and need to let in family and friends. Auto-lock feature works. I didn't get the wi-fi bridge with mine but the bluetooth has been working reliably. I have not connected mine to Alexa or whatnot (since I don't use those in the first place). I added my toddler's thumbprint to the lock and he has no trouble using it (as long as his thumb is clean, which isn't always guaranteed). I think your finger/thumb needs to be clean, the scanner needs to be clean, and you need smooth fingers/thumbs. My index finger is calloused and the scanner doesn't pick it up well, but my thumb has no problems. Other people complain about the batteries, but I haven't had issues there. I've kept track and so far, I've replaced the batteries twice (first set lasted 5 months, second set lasted 6 months). This is with heavy, constant use. Worst case scenario, you can use the key and if you don't have the key and the batteries have died, there is a USB connection for a powerpack which will power the unit enough to open the lock. My unit lasted fine for about 14 months and then the power unit died. I reached out to customer service and they immediately sent me a replacement unit, and it works just fine now.

Update 6/21/21 Just purchased a 3rd Ubolt Pro but this time with a WIFI bridge. The dead bolt on this new one is phyisicaly different from my other two which suggests this company is continuing to improve on there product.. Connection through internet is not the fastest but so far reliable. Fortunately for me since purchasing this 3rd Ubolt I found that my 2nd Ubolt that had the constant blinking when unlocked was actually a malfunction. Blinking while unlocked should only happen when auto lock is enabled. (Doesn't state this in in manual). I suppose this explaines why that Ubolt's battery wasn't lasting long. That lock was fixed by a manual firmware update that was provided to me after I inquired about the lock's blinking behavior. I no longer use these in Stand Alone mode. They are much easier to manage using the app. My 2 older locks are going strong and I am hoping this new one will do the job just as well. Ultraloq customer service is quick to respond even though it is through email. They have not had any trouble resolving any of my issues. Great product and company! Update: 1/6/21 I wanted to wait a bit before updating to make sure the replacement part held up... So a little over 1 month after installing the flat buttoned version it failed. The fingerprint reader died but the physical buttons and of the key still worked. I sent a warranty repair request via email to the company and recieved a replacement part within a few days to a week. Response time was quick and painless. So far so good with the replacement fingerprint reader. Ill keep updating if anything else goes wrong. ------------------------- Original review: Its such a good lock I bought a second one. To my suprise the second one is physically different. There obviously has been a hardware update. But there is no mentioned of it on the manufacturer's website or the Amazon website. I included pictures of both locks. I'm assuming the lock with the indented inside handle and clear plastic number buttons is the older version and the one with the flat inside lock handle and black rubber numbers is the new version. Both locks are packaged with the same clear button version pictured on the box. Aside from the physical differences they also have firmware version differences. The clear button lock has a version number of V1.51 and the black rubber button is V1.55, both show to have the latest firmware when using the phone app. They work the same on the app and in standalone mode. The only functional difference I have noticed is that the black rubber buttoned lock flashes a red light every 3 to 5 seconds when in the unlocked position. The clear buttoned one does not flash its light when left unlocked. What interested me most was the finger print reader which works incredibly well and fast. I primary have these locks on standalone mode and have no interest in remotely unlocking from my phone, but I did play with the Bluetooth phone app and it does work fast and easily works within 30 feet very reliably. I really wish I knew there were two different versions because I do like how the other one flashes while unlocked. It is hard to see the lock position at night with dim light due to the whole thing being black but the red light makes it very clear it is open. I am hoping both versions of this lock are equally durable and last for many years, only time will tell. Over all at the moment I feel this is a good buy no matter which one you end up with.

I took the time to test a few different smart locks before I moved into my new home back in 2020. Ultrloq was the best I tested. (there were 3 others) I installed three Ultraloqs back in 2020. After almost 4 years of daily use they all work great without any failure (*see note) I am actually very surprised these have worked so well because they strive to do so many things: bluetooth, WiFi, fingerprint etc. And all the methods of locking/unlocking work great all the time and under daily use. They never fail. The only negative thing I can say is that one lock that faces very strong mid-day and afternoon sun has started to fade, The buttons. They all still work great, and I can ready them, it just doesn't look nice and new. Tips: - Locks and deadbolts are tricky to install / retro-fit REGARDLESS of the type or brand. It is normal and expected that some adjustment will be needed to get the lock to line up right, then operate freely without rubbing, strain or issues. Don't blame the lock, it's usual. One of my locks did not fit exactly right with one door. It took some chiseling, grinding, and coercing to make the bolt of the lock travel easily without any rubbing. And this was on a brand new door I had installed. - Make sure your batteries are charged sufficiently. If batteries are low it may seem like the lock isn;'t working. Swap the battery, no problem. - * note: Familiarize yourself with the different versions of this lock. Make sure to get the latest and don't cheap out on an older model. Some of the older versions that have more shiny, rounded, keys on the keypad do not accept fingerprints as reliably as the latest rubberized, flat, matte keys. Get the latest & greatest because the finger print function works perfect. (but the older versions numeric combination function works great as a backup) - Follow the very good video installation directions step by step. I am an experienced homeowner & handyman. I often needed to reference the videos to get the install right. Even after the 2nd lock install. This is a great product that I'd definitely put into any home I own. Good luck and enjoy!

This is a premium product for a not-so-premium price. After doing a lot of research I chose to go with the Ultraloq U-Bolt - the instructions were so easy to follow. It's important to note that I had to do very little modification on my door to get this thing up and running. It is a standard deadbolt lock so you simply have to replace your old mechanical bolt with this bolt. I think it took me 30 minutes. The app was so easy to use and super user-friendly. After installation you're fully functional with fingerprint unlock, code unlocks and Bluetooth unlock. I think the BlueTooth unlock is pretty incredible. I go out for my dog walk every day, several times a day. All I have to do is close the door and it auto-locks behind me, then when I come home, it geo-locates me and automatically opens the door when I get home. I think this sophisticated system can be twice as expensive for the convenience and quality of the product. I highly recommend this product. I'm thinking of Bridge because it's so convenient - but I'm not sure if I need it. Are you still reading this? Buy it already!

After doing a fair bit of research, i decided to go with ULTRALOQ for my smart lock. Installation was easy, but i faced some issues with my lock after installing. I emailed support and they were very helpful. They offered to send me a new unit, which helped to solve my problem! Highly recommended and it is value for money.

Tengo ya dos años con la cerradura, me ha funcionado muy bien, el modo de autoabrir me funciona muy bien y es muy cómodo (hasta el momento es el único producto que he encontrado con esta característica), solo hay que asegurarse de permitir la aplicación para que se ejecute en el fondo en el teléfono, una vez hecho, funciona sin problemas. La opción de usar la huella para abrir permite configurar el modo de auto-cerrar activado, así siempre que salimos estamos seguros que se ha cerrado, y es muy fácil volver a abrir si no traemos el teléfono. El registro de entradas y salidas me permite saber a que horas regresan mis hijos cuando salen... El único problema lo tuve hace unos días, donde el motor dejo de funcionar, contacte al soporte técnico, y pese a que el producto estaba fuera de garantía, me ofrecieron cambiarlo, lo cual es extraordinario, afortunadamente el sistema volvió a funcionar bien después de dejarlo un dia sin bateria, asi que no fue necesario hacer el cambio, pero me dejaron muy tranquilo en caso de que surja otro problema. Me gusta el producto, me permite entrar fácilmente cuando llego, nada de llaves ni necesidad de batallar con las cosas que cargo, la puerta se abre sola. ----------------------- I have 2 years with this lock, it has worked without problem, the auto unlock mode has worked fine, and is really handy (so far this is the only product I have found with this feature), it is just matter to be sure that the mobile phone is set to allow the application to work in the background, once that is done, it works flawless The fingerprint option let me to configure the auto lock mode so we are confident the house is locked and it is very simple to unlock it if we do not carry the mobile. The log has given me the possibility to know when my kids come home, when they go out... A few days ago I had a problem, the lock motor stop working, the technical support was really quick and responsive, and even if the product was out of the guarantee period they offered to replace it, that is extraordinary. Fortunately, the system was working again after I let it 24 hours without battery, so the exchange was not needed, but my experience with the technical support returned me back the confidence on the product for any future failure. So far, I love it, very handy, now I can enter when I return home without any effort, I do not need to worry if I have my hands loaded, there is no need to use a key or dial a code, the door unlocks itself!

Excelente y muy práctica. Sirve para chapa izquierda o derecha. Las instrucciones no son muy buenas hay que checarlo en youtube

Received the lock very quickly in Singapore. Installation took only about 20 minutes including taking out the old deadbolt. Set up with the app was also good. Had some minor issue woth app which was very resolved with the prompt help from Support services from the makers Ultraloq. Now have been using this for one week and so far so good. Overall, a very good smart lock.
