ULTRALOQ U-Bolt Pro Smart Lock with WiFi Bridge, 7-in-1 Fingerprint Keyless Entry, Backlit Keypad, Auto Unlock, Voice Control via Alexa and Google

I'm so happy with this gadget...

Initially thought great things about this lock. I bought two and installed the first one which worked well for about a year. Had automatic firmware updates on so that my lock would always have the latest version. Now the fingerprint reader will not activate when the lock is closed which means you have to unlock it using the app or the keypad. Contacted U-Tec support and was told they don't ship replacement parts to the UK. At this point I thought this isn't great but I have a second lock so I can just use that one. Brand new in the box opened it up, loaded the latest firmware as part of the install process and the fingerprint reader is not working exactly the same as the old one. You can use the app to register a new fingerprint and the scanner works just fine so it's obviously not the hardware that's the issue. Contacted support again telling that my effectively brand new lock was not working and was told that because I waited over a year from the initial purchase to install it then the warranty isn't valid. If you are happy to use the lock without fingerprint functionality then the lock will work great for you but you are paying a premium for it. Also my advice is try the lock out first before you drill and cut holes in your door.

ACTUALIZACIÓN 2/DIC/25 : Después de varias actualizaciones de software y retroalimentación de servicio al cliente ya ha estado funcionando bien la cerradura. La batería ha funcionado bien, y el puente de WIFI ya trabaja correctamente a distancia. El tiempo de cierre se ha podido extender, aunque al no tener sensor de cierre se seguirá cerrando sola sin importar si esta abierta, pero bueno, en resumen ya funciona. De inicio se ve práctica y buena. Antes tenía otra marca que por ser comprada por YALE dejo de funcionar en México. No compren YALE. En esta que parecía buena, esta llena de errores tontos. - No puede detectar la puerta abierta, se cierra sola y siempre pega el pasador. - El tiempo de cierre es mínimamente configurarle. - Segun abre por proximidad... si, lo hace lejos y al llegar a la cerradura ya esta cerrada de nuevo. - El adaptador WIF siempre esta en error. Lo dejas funcionando y al rato ya se desconecto otra vez. - La bateria una vez que se baja siempre marca que esta baja aunque las cambies. Es una pena, pudo ser buen producto. Lo único buen es que la lectura de huella funciona aceptablemente bien en la mayoría de las personas. La opción de traer llave mecánica lo salva a uno de sus propios errores. Compre tres cerraduras para sustituir las anteriores AUGUST que eran muy buenas hasta que la empresa la compró YALE y decidió que solo funcionaran en EEUU y Canadá, pero no en México. Absurda política.

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.

When I first bought a smart lock years ago I really wanted a fingerprint reader but the few that existed had horrible reviews so I got one with a code instead. But now that every kid in the neighborhood knows our code I figured it was time for an upgrade. The fingerprint reader works so well that I never use a code other then when I first set it up. Never replaced the batteries yet, and have never needed to use he key. I've set it up so it auto-locks so I never need to worry about it being left unlocked. Install: Installing was a real pain. My door frame had a strike plate but my door did not but the lock requires it. I used a dremel to cut out room for the strike plate to get it to fit. But then the lock was slightly too long and the it would rub the latch when locking just enough that it didn't work. So after many micro adjustments, cutting, dremeling it all worked. You might get lucky and not require any adjustments or you might end up needing to hire someone to install it. Just depends on your door. Thankfully I only need to install it once. I got the wifi kit. I rarely use it. It connects well enough. I plugged it in to an outlet near the door. I have a google mesh which is both 2.4/5Ghz and didn't have any issues. It's nice to let someone in when you aren't at home and you can see a history of people who unlocked the door (assuming they use a fingerprint or have a unique code). And you can check to see if you forgot to unlock the door. Alexa. I've only tested this out to lock the door or check the status. But since it's set to auto lock I don't use it very much. Other than the install I'm really happy with the lock and would buy it again. It's pricey but you get what you pay for.

So like some other people mentioned already its not perfect. But I think whatever negatives there are definitely out weigh the positives. So with that being said I will tell you how it is after 3 months of using it. I have a wife and a 18 year old son who also use the front door. I installed the door and had no issues with installation. I read about the bolts being too tight, so I checked the lock manually to verify its smooth as I went along, no issues. Once installation done I downloaded the app and started programming all of us into the app. I'm the tech guy in the house so I'm the administrator user. Adding everyone in is easy. I got a bit confused when you add a user email for the app. It should send an email to that user for the app. It didn't for some reason. No biggie, when my wife and son downloaded the app just make sure they sign up using the email address you have listed for them. They can use the app to unlock the door through Bluetooth but I'm the only user to unlock with wifi and program other users. That works for us. So I hooked up the bridge last which is why I think the email for my users didn't send. I probably should've hooked up the bridge first then program my users. Oh well it worked out in the long run. I did have some trouble hooking up to wifi but again I'm the techy guy so I figured it out. Must have 2.4 ghz wifi. Not sure if you can get your deadbolt changed to match your current house locks, I didn't try because I didn't buy this to use the key. We bought it for the ease of access it will give us. So as the keys they gave us work we never use them, its awesome. I like the fact that when we're not home I can check the log to see if my son is home or if he came home. It logs who came in if they use pin code or finger print. If you use key or unlock from the inside then it logs it as manual. No way to tell who it is. That's expected. Great feature. You can easily set up a temporary user with pin code to use at specific time or times. How many times they get to use that pin. I like it for my parents. I send them a code and they can walk right in. Now it doesn't know if the door is open or closed but my son left the house and didn't make sure the door was all the way closed. It notified me saying the lock is jammed. So with the door not closed all the way it was hitting the frame. I don't have my log notifying me with anything but it did notify for this which was good. So now I have lock the door when he leaves. To manually lock the door when you leave just press the big button on the bottom as you leave. This ensures him that the door is closed. Overall I think this is a great product and would recommend it to anyone. Very happy with this purchase. It takes time to set everything up but in the end it worked out great for my family. Oh I didn't hook it up to my Alexa. That was my choice, so I can't comment on that. I do have it hooked to wifi which I can control from anywhere. That was my preference I guess. Stop debating, just get it.
