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 Install

I purchased the U-BOLT PRO with built in WiFi to replace another model, ULTRALOQ Smart Door Lock, that I purchased in 2021. The ULTRALOQ Smart would not consistently “Auto Unlock” upon my return home. Many other reviewers reported the same issue after a software update. I was unable to reinstall/restart/redo set up etc in order for that feature to work. All of the other features of the ULTRALOQ Smart work as expected. I have reinstalled the ULTRALOQ Smart on a different door for continued use for code entry, auto lock, and remote functions etc.The install and set-up of the U-BOLT PRO with built in WiFi was simple as per the instructions. As I read numerous reviews, it seems that many issues with the functionality of the U-BOLT PRO with built in WiFi could be related to improper alignment of the lock/bolt & door jam, improper fingerprint storage, and attempts to use a 5g WiFi network (requires a 2.4g network as do many cameras and smart home devices).So far, the fingerprint reader has worked 100% to unlock the door. I stored two of my prints, and was careful to place my finger (clean and dry) at different angles as per the instructions to ensure that a large area of my fingerprint was stored. I tested and retested the use of my fingerprint (wet, dry, dirty) and did not experience any problems with the fingerprint unlock function.The Auto Unlock feature was my primary reason for purchase of this lock. It has worked each and every time. I do like the “green light ring” that indicates that the door is unlocked as I approach the door. The Auto Unlock feature must be enabled with the U Home app, requires 2.4g WiFi, and “always on” location services for the U Home app within your cell phone operating system settings.Another feature that I like is Auto Lock - I have set this lock to Auto Lock after 15 minutes on a door used most often for ‘in and out” activities to unload groceries, get the mail etc. The Auto Lock Timing for this lock can be set to Auto Lock after 10seconds to 30minutes within the U Home app. The timing range is expanded for this model (the range for the older locks is 10seconds to 5minutes).I have been pleased with U Home/ULTRALOQ for many years. I find the products reliable and easy to use. I’ll add an update if I experience any problems with the U-BOLT PRO with built in WiFi.

I love this! It was pretty easy to install and pretty easy to set up. My husband and I have our own codes and recorded the fingerprints. Pro tip- record your fingerprint when the door is closed, because you’re more likely to record it how you’ll press your finger to unlock it. Our first run of fingerprints weren’t working to unlock the door, but we recorded them with the door open. Since I redid my fingerprints, it’s worked great! I live not having to take my keys with me when I take my dog for a walk, and I still know the house is secure behind me!We also were able to create a temporary code for the radon mitigation company we had come in between closing and actually moving in. We were in another state, but they were able to get in and out just fine!I love that I can set notifications, too, so if we give out codes to family members, we can tell if they’ve been in our house when we weren’t there!I can’t speak much to the battery life. Seems pretty good! We installed it about 3 weeks ago and it still has “high” battery life. I saw that as a concern in some reviews, but it’s not a concern for me as of now.I had to google to find this out, but if you have the auto lock set (I have ours for 5 minutes), you can disable that by pressing and holding the zero key. And re-enable it by pressing the 1 key. It was VERY helpful when the movers were in and out of our house for an hour!The auto lock function was one of the main reasons I got it. I have a bad habit of forgetting to lock the door, so the fact that it will automatically lock after a certain amount of time makes me feel better about that!Overall, I love adding this smart lock to our growing smarthome ecosystem system, and I feel safe knowing it’s got our house covered! We plan on getting at least one more of this one for the back door, and then maybe a lower version for our garage door!

This is a pretty good smart lock. You can set it to lock the door when you leave automatically. It can also unlock the lock for you when it detects you have arrived home. This feature seems to work well for my wife but spotty for me. We also setup finger print and lock code access. That also all works pretty well. The issue we we have had was with the door lock sensor. After about two weeks this stopped working. I attempted to fix it a few times but did not get very far with it. I then figured out a week or two later it was a battery issue as the whole unit died. Once the batteries were replaced that worked again. Issue is it only had batteries in it for 3 or 4 weeks at max since install. It also has some good customization options.Installation was pretty easy, although I found it needed to be very careful when installing each screw as it did affect the locks ability to close. I had to get in there with a chisel and clear some material out to make sure the bolt closed freely. If yours has issue closing check with the door open to ensure it is not a fitment issue between the door/lock/frame.I did reach out to customer support with some of these problems and I found them very responsive and helpful.
