Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro Smart Deadbolt Door Lock

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.

I bought this lock, it seemed to work fine for a few months. When it unfortunately stopped working during the warranty period I was told that despite them delivering the original to me in UAE, the warranty only applies if I have an address in the USA. I had no choice but to pay extra money to get them to send me a replacement. I’ve been waiting since July and I still don’t have the lock or any confirmation it has even been sent. So if you are buying this lock for the warranty or customer service then you will be sorely disappointed.

The lock is a combination of good idea and bad production. The metal of the latch is extremely week for its function. Being hit in perpendicular direction (e.g. by occasional door closer work or early door opening while the door is locked) the lock is easily get damaged. The latch easily becomes curve, this leads to the loss of its ability to go back into the corps of the lock body from the door frame. In such occasion the only option to open the lock is to disassemble it or extract by force with potential loss of the door as a result

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.

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!

This lock is installed on our south facing main front entry door so receives a lot of use and a lot of heat from the sun every day. I mention this because after 10 months the deadbolt would not slide in and out smoothly. Perhaps too many grandkids closing the door while the bolt was in the closed position and the bolt got slightly bent. But not a problem as I contacted Ultra Lock and a replacement bolt was sent right away and I replaced it and works perfectly now. Some great features include being able to turn on or off or set the timing of the bolt closure especially if there is a lot of in and out activity. I found the fingerprint access and code is excellent and works well for the younger generation but for me being in my 60’s I think I have worn my fingerprints too much as it only works occasionally for me. I also like the setting to unlock the door as my wife and I drive up our driveway and then lock’s back up after we have been home for a set period of time. At night we never have to worry that we forgot to lock the door. The lock was easy to install and was a replacement for an older manual system and my wife really likes the look of the new Ultra Lock. I also like we can remotely control and check that our door is locked when we are away.
