Four Ways to Unlock With NO Monthly Fees?! Now THIS is the Smart Lock You've Been Looking For!
Let's keep this really simple - just get this lock. Why you ask? Fine, fine, I guess I should explain the *why* behind getting this lock. But be warned, this is a long review... Truly, the U-Bolt Pro is everything a lock should be - literally. By biggest gripe with smart locks is that they usually have two features - some sort of key manual access and then some sort of technology. Maybe it's a key unlock and a smart phone app, or maybe it's a key unlock and a number pad, or maybe it's a key unlock and a finger print reader. But this lock, my friends, has *all* those things. First off, in case anyone has not said this, you CAN get this lock rekeyed to match your existing set of keys. I love, love, love this - now I do not have to be stuck with some new random key for the deadbolt in addition to my current house key. The strange thing is, while the manufactures site states that this uses a Schlage style barrel, it actually uses a Kwikset key? Odd right? The locksmith I had rekey the barrels (which yes, you can remove from the lock and can take to your local lock smith!) was baffled as well. Personally this was not an issue for me (more of a great surprise actually) as I already had Kwikset keys on my house, but if you were expecting Schlage then you'd be disappointed as the barrel does not work with them. I assume one could buy a Schlege barrel and place it in the lock... however my locksmith warned against this as the tail is quite long on the included barrel and he did not believe there were any Schlege style barrels with such a long tail. So your mileage may vary - but TL;DR, this lock can be rekeyed to Kwikset keys! But back to what I was saying - I cannot, I repeat cannot, understate how important the all-the-above options to unlock the deadbolt was to me. You have SO many choices to unlock the door - and yes at first that might sound silly - but trust me, it's great. Especially for people like my parents who do not want to use a smart phone app. Let me give you a general run down of how all these features have made my life simpler. When I pull into my neighborhood, the app alerts me that the locks are ready to unlock when I approach my house. And when I pull into my driveway, the locks instantly unlock so I do not even have to take the keys out of my pocket to get inside. And when I finally step into the house, the locks (after a set amount of time I preconfigured) will auto lock behind me. Just like that, with my hands full of groceries, I did not even have to pull the keys or my phone out of my pocket. Wow. And this becomes exponentially better when it's raining and I am not fumbling for my keys to unlock the door! I can just run inside barely getting soaked! Now it's not always perfect, maybe once or twice a month I have a Bluetooth issue where the lock does not detect I'm there but hey, I can stomach that inconvenience - especially when you have other options to unlock the door. Leading to my next comment - the fingerprint and pin pad unlocking. Maybe I left my phone at home or perhaps the lock did not detect me at the door. No problem, finger print scanner to the rescue. Just one two second hold with my finger and the door unlocks without a hitch! And when I've had gloves on and that's not an option, I can unlock the door with the number pad. Also FYI, these are the two methods my parents prefer the most - they don't want to have the app on their phones, but they also would like for a way to unlock the door without having to fumble with a key. A fingerprint or a number code stored locally on the device (that can work even without Wifi!) is excellent for them. Now if you want to unlock the device from the app when say you're at at work for example and no where near your house, you will need the bridge - but otherwise the device functions entirely on Bluetooth locally. If all else fails - my phone did not connect, the finger print reader was not reading my thumb for some reason, or perhaps the lock is dead and the number pad cannot function - I can just flip down the lid and insert my traditional house key. Did you count that? There are FOUR different ways to unlock this deadbolt! And did I mention there are NO MONTHLY FEES fees for this?! Okay okay look I concede, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. There's one eency weency issue: Alexa and this lock hate each other. Perhaps this can be fixed with a software update... but the issue still persists to this day for me. Now the lock will pair fine with Alexa, and I can even ask Alexa to unlock the device or lock the device with my voice. But, that's where the problem begins. First you have to tell Alexa a pin to unlock the deadbolt... which seems crazy to me. Yes I know, the whole point is so that no one can just shout "Alexa, unlock the front door!" from outside your house and the Alexa device inside hears the command and unlocks... but also, I really would prefer not to have to tell Alexa a pin every single time, especially when other people around me outside could hear such a pin. However honestly it wouldn't matter if they did hear my pin as, surprise, Alexa cannot unlock this lock! She will lie to you and say she has but oh no, do not believe her beautiful voice - she is a liar! The Alexa app will say the door is unlocked too, but that is also false. It simply just does not work with Alexa - and if that is something incredibly important to you then this may not be the lock for you. With that said, I really don't believe it should be, though; I never once felt the need to unlock the deadbolt with Alexa nor ever found the idea more convenient than using the location proximity/the app, my fingerprint, the number pad, or the key itself. Maybe it would have been nice when I'm already inside to make sure the door is locked, but isn't that what the auto lock feature or the app is for already? And I guess this issue could be solved down the line with an update too, so maybe by the time you are reading this the whole paragraph is a nonissue! Wow, I typed a lot here - though when you're spending almost $200 on a lock, you want to make sure that your money is going towards a good investment. I can confidently say that yes, it absolutely is - heck, I bought three of them, dropping more than half a grand... and without a doubt, it's been 100% worth it. If you want a lock with multiple smart unlocking options, a physical key option, and no monthly subscription, you found it. Installation was simple too! I just really, really, really like this lock if you can't tell by now - and I hope you will too.

A great improvement over the Schlage smartlock zwave version
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.

they work great until they don't
I bought this to put on my garage which is attached to my house. All my tools are in the garage and I wanted something that I didn't have to rekey every time someone left and I added someone new who needed access. This door is opened and locked many times each day. Plus I don't carry my phone around when I am working. Tried that twice needed a new phone after two days both times. Lock installed easily and programmed easily the first time. then the electronics went. After multiple emails the company sent me a new part. Installed the new part and reprogramed it. No issues - do it at night the lights are hard to see if the lock is in direct sunlight. When the batteries died the problems started. It would not reprogram. So against my better judgement i installed the app. Surprise the app programmed it easily. Then it went wonky again. Brand new batteries dead; though the app says they are fine. Can't reprogram from the app. it opens and closes the lock from the inside but not the outside. It's Saturday at 5 so I had a beer and gave up. Day two - i delete the app and reinstall on two different phones. Then things get really weird and I discover all the glitches in the app. Plus i'm on my computer just shaking my head. I have every part and the extra key in the house next to the door inside. It's 90+F, it's south FL and it is June so this makes sense, and the door is in full sun. Guess i should have taped the key to my forehead. Wind blows the door shut and the door locks, while I'm outside trying to read the directions on my phone in the shade. App tells me that i have to remove the battery cover because the finger print feature isn't set. I had that set to off. I hate apps. I liked this lock because you didn't need an app and a mobile phone to use it. The only two tools available to me were a big crowbar, a sawzall and I used a 10 lb barbell as a hammer to remove the door frame. So when it works it works great. When it doesn't make sure you have everything outside, someone inside or all the other doors in your house open. Oh beware of auto iPhone updates. I may not be able to blame every problem with the app on Ulog. That's why i deleted and redownloaded the app. The company has the best customer service I have ever encountered. They replace the lock without question even though I was a month past the warrenty.

Just buying it, I love it.
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.

Perfect smartlock with a plethora of features to suit most needs
To start off, this is my 5th smartlock. From cheap to expensive, so I have extensive use knowledge, comparisons against competitors, and integration experience (smart integrated house). This lock is replacing a Kwikset Kevo and it's hands down a better lock. It's cheaper and the version I bought included the bridge (with the Kevo the bridge was an additional cost of around $100). I would say, with what I wanted, it's a perfect lock. This lock is for the garage interior door (standard sized door including the deadbolt cutout) and the objective behind a smart lock here is to assist with opening the door when hands are full and/or without a key/app in hand or opened. We solely use this door for entry/exit and it's behind garage doors for decreased accessibility to the public. The Kevo worked perfectly for this at first but as phones upgraded and security increased, the reliability of the blue tooth connectivity became less and less reliable and forced us to open the app to unlock the door at almost every use, defeating the purpose of a "hands-free" lock. Other locks performed nearly identical in regards to blue tooth connectivity as the Kevo, likely due to infrequent updates and wide ranges of phone models. This lock has great features, much more in comparison, and has 3 methods of preference. Biometrics, PIN, and geo-based auto-unlock. Biometrics seem to work flawlessly provided you set it up properly. I've used them about 40 times at the time of writing this review without one issue. PIN code works exactly as it should and does not require comment on this tried and true method (other than the PIN hide feature if you're paranoid someone is watching). Finally, the Auto-Unlock geofencing. This has worked perfectly so far. I put the target in the middle of my house, even though the actual lock is near the house edge. I did this to ensure that my house and backyard is covered in the radius so if I'm in either, it would keep the mode to back and not unlock if I leave the radius in my yard and re-enter causing the lock to unlock. It works like this, once you've entered the radius, it will unlock and set your mode to "Back". Once you leave the radius, it changes your mode to "Away", and the next time you re-enter the radius it will switch to back and unlock. This ensures it's not unlocking once you're in your house and are within the radius. This is intelligently designed and I'm confident that it's working as intended. You can also set to receive notifications once the auto-unlock feature is triggered so you'd know if your distance from the lock is triggering an unlock. I had someone assist in testing the range and it's pretty accurate. The lowest setting is 300m but will go up to 600m and 1000m. I do not use the auto-lock setup, but plan to once all the users of the door have PINs and fingerprints added, as it's time based but it is a good option as long as you have a PIN and/or fingerprint setup (so you wouldn't get locked out if you forgot your phone inside). The included bridge runs on the 2.4ghz band (pretty standard for smart home appliances due to its range and compatibility) and should be within 10-15ft of the lock. Mine has a full signal at about 12ft with a couch blocking the line of sight. I do not use Alexa or other smarthome companions for home security devices so I cannot describe it's integration features/skills but I imagine it's like the other security devices and only allows you to lock and not unlock. The only improvement I'd suggest is the nob on the interior mechanism. It's black on black and you can't easily see if it's unlocked or not. I plan to resolve this by dremeling a notch and painting the groove white to see its position. All-in-all, I'm very happy with this lock and if ever phone security is interfering with the auto-unlock feature, the biometrics and/or PIN can be used for an easier access method. I would recommend this every time someone wants to use a smartlock. SUPPLEMENTAL REVIEW - 7 Oct 2021 Everything is still working perfectly. Batteries were swapped 1 time over the year, so that's excellent. In comparison, my other locks required multiple changes over the year. No issues with it doing/not doing what was expected. Due to COVID, I did turn off the geo-fencing since we work from home now. The auto-lock is set to 10 minutes but we all have PIN and bio settings, no locked out people. Issuing codes to others is easy and it works without issue. Still 5 stars

Great on my thick door
I’m no locksmith by any means but I can handle basic DIY.Installation was super easy and straightforward. The door specs had very conflicting answers to a door with my thickness which is 2 1/4 in thick. AI & some reviewers said I’d need the thick door kit. Let me just say right now if your door is or under 2 1/4 in thick you DO NOT need the thick door kit. It worked perfectly fine with the screws and cylinder bar it came with. Id recommended setting your fingerprint twice ( same finger twice) so you get easy readings. The door opens quickly and the auto lock feature is great. If you have a thick door like mine it’s hard to beat for the price as everything else I looked at either didn’t fit or cost 2-3x more

Had some bumps at first but LOVE IT NOW!
UPDATE TO MY REVIEW: wow…just wow….the customer service for this company is outstanding. After posting my review, they reached out to me to try to help resolve the issues I was having. After a couple of troubleshooting exercises, they ended up sending me a replacement part and that seems to have done the trick. It’s awesome to walk up to the door & have it automatically unlock. And the issues we were having with the fingerprint reader are now no longer an issue. What do I love about this lock? The automatic lock feature. I no longer have to worry that the lock is unlocked when I leave or go to bed. I love that the app provides a log of comings & goings, the fingerprint reader is so convenient & I love that it can be set to unlock upon approach. This lock is awesome! wish all companies had the attentive customer service U-TEC does. I highly recommend this lock now! ——————— My original review: Do we’ve been using this lock for about 6 weeks now and there are things we love and things we don’t. When the lock arrived, I installed it & set it up before my hubby got home. It wasn’t difficult to do or to pair up with the ‘bridge’ that allows it to connect to WiFi. Make sure you have a solid WiFi connection if you buy this lock. The lock feels very sturdy, is made of metal & looks really nice. Pro’s: we love the app that can be used to control the lock, the auto lock / Unlock feature and the log to see who has come & gone. So often my kids forget to lock the door behind them so the auto lock is wonderful. Cons: the fingerprint reader is less than reliable & only works part of the time. More often than not we end up entering the door code to unlock the door. A feature of the lock & the app is that when you enter the ‘boundaries’ set by the system, the door is supposed to automatically unlock as you approach the door. That feature is about as reliable as the fingerprint feature. We will keep the lock? Yes because I’m too lazy to research & try something else. lol. This lock is ‘fine.’ I’d love to say it’s fantastic but I’d be lying. It’s fine. I don’t dislike it enough to go through the hassle of changing it. Living in the humid south, I know I’ll be replacing it in the next couple of years anyway. Would I recommend it? I guess so. Maybe our experiences are more ‘operator error’ so perhaps someone else won’t have our same challenges. I’d give the lock a 5 on a scale of 1-10.

Outstanding device. Key-free, Worry-free, Teenager-proof
The best purchase I made for my new home. I no longer have to deal with teenagers always forgetting or losing my keys. The Ultraloq does what it claims with the exception of the bluetooth unlocking feature as my phone nears the door. More on that below. All of the other features are great: fingerprints, codes/profiles, unlock from anywhere via the wi-fi bridge, auto-lock feature, etc. It does it well. Pros: 1) Fingerprint: I find that I use the fingerprint unlock the most. Never a misstep. It takes your fingerprint from every angle so you can be assured that your fingerprint works correctly each time. I've set up myself and my son for this and no issues with unlocking. 2) Auto-lock: As I get busy and older, I lose most of my marbles or I find I'm developing OCD tendencies to check if I locked the door every few mins because I just KNOW I forgot something I did 20 secs ago. I don't think about it anymore. The door locks with a 30-sec delay and that's that. To note: My neighborhood has recently had thieves put rubber bands on the pull handle that would prevent a door lock from engaging. The locking mechanism for the bolt and the door handle are separate so I don't have that worry. And no longer worried about my forgetful absent-minded teenager or myself. Completely worth the price for that alone. 3) Codes/random input: I don't use this often because i'm lazy but I have used it and works well. I set up normal users for the home, a code/key for family that I trust, a code/key for temporary use (i.e. electrician that needs to drop in while I'm away, etc.). what every the reason, I can set up multiple codes/keys, assign them appropriate access and length of time to use it. I recently put this into action when I had my internet installed and provided my technician a code to use so I didn't have stand near the door as they went in and out. I have used the random input (hitting numbers with the correct code buried in). Works as intended. I can see this working well for those in an apartment or townhouse setting with many people coming by, but on the front porch of my home with nary a visitor much less passerby on the street that is yards away, It's not a concern for me. I'm just happy the option is there should I decide to move and take this with me to an environment like that again. 4) Wi-fi Unlock: Another feature I was very excited about. My car has this feature and I can start my car that's parked at the airport while I'm away in Turkey. Works the same. The kit comes with the wi-fi bridge. Once connected and set up on the wi-fi, the feature works. I've tried this while I was in another state and my aunt dropped by so I can test it. One caveat is that it does not work on the 5 ghz spectrum of your wi-fi; just 2.4. 5) Battery: I have cons about this, more below. However, this was a saving grace as well. During a power outage on my block, the only thing working was this door lock and the security panel that has a battery built in for emergencies. Because it's not hardwired, I was able to get in and out. And now that I leave my key behind ( I need to change that), we would have been locked out otherwise. Again, worth the price. It also comes with the option to charge the lock via a USB connection but I don't regular carry a powerpack around to provide it juice should this happen. just make a regular maintenance to change the battery (my recommendation is every 3 months/quarterly) and this shouldn't be a worry. 6) Installation: It was easy peasy. The instructions were more than adequate, including the illustrations provided. I've never installed a door lock before and I had ZERO issues with doing this. I did take a look at a you-tube video prior but it was unnecessary as the instructions were detailed. I did change out the cylinder to a more secured key and that process was super easy too. I don't ever have to worry about hiring a locksmith unless I'm truly locked out (which I will rectify soon). 7) Physical key: This was a deciding factor in my purchase. I still wanted to use my key on the off chance of a power outage, battery failure, etc. Being locked out of your home is no fun. I did change out the cylinder to a more secured key and that process was super easy too. I don't ever have to worry about hiring a locksmith unless I'm truly locked out, which I will rectify soon by putting the key in a location outside my home. Cons: 1) The bluetooth unlocking feature as my phone nears the door does not work as claimed. I can't say if this feature simply doesn't work or if it's just my signal as I live in a virtual dead-zone in my neighborhood (i.e. I have to be on wi-fi calling while in my home), but it's a no-go for me. I don't complain much about this because all the other features work so well but I wish this did as I hate having to push a code or use my fingerprint when I'm carrying a dozen grocery bags. And I'd rather carry 25 grocery bags than make multiple trips the car. It's one of the features I was most excited about (says every mom ever). 2) The push notification telling me that U-tec bolt is jammed when it's not. I don't know the cause of this. Some times, it correctly identifies a jam (i.e., I didn't close my door completely flush or I left it ajar when the auto-lock function activates). Most times, it doesn't. It hasn't impeded the security system from activating so I just simply take a look if I'm home and dismiss the notification. I know when i'm leaving, if I'm in a hurry, i just push the ultraloq button on the bottom of the pad to lock it and I hear the lock engage. Most times, I just close the door firmly when leaving and I'm confident in knowing the door is flush for the lock to engage on the auto-lock timer. 3) It will drain batteries far quicker than advertised. I installed my Ultraloq 11/29/2019 and it need new batteries by 3/1/2020. Far less than the 6 months advertised. And I didn't use the batteries provided. I used a fresh pack of Energizer Max. 4) Pairing the wi-fi brige was a beast. It only works on the 2.4 spectrum of the network so I had a lot of issues with the set up as my phone only registers/prefers the 5 ghz spectrum. It took much longer than it needed for the app to recognize the bridge. I had to close and open it multiple times in order to get it work. Once done, it was fine. However, I recently changed providers and it wasn't easy to change the network in the app. Very difficult. I had to nearly delete the app or reset. However, just going in, removing the bridge function and re-initiating it allowed me to set up on a new network. Not cool I cannot comment on integration with Alexa or Google. It's my plan in the near future to integrate with both in order to have a hybrid system. It doesn't integrate with my security system (ADT) but I knew that prior to purchase so it's not a con for me. Once I do integrate, I'll update my review. Because I''m able to use the U-tec app to lock the door, it's a workaround of the integration for now. In all, it is an outstanding device and just what I needed. Despite the cons I listed, I don't really have much to complain about as the pros outweigh this for me. I feel secure in and out of my home with it so it's one less worry that I have, especially as person that travels so much. I chose this device over others because of the features this one has that would provide me multiple ways to access my home. Namely the battery and physical key. Knowing that power outages happen, I didn't want to be left out in the cold one day that I'm least expecting it. Also, coming from years of apartment living, my son loses keys and fobs ALL THE TIME. The money I've spent replacing these are staggering. I didn't want to deal with this again. I love this product. It didn't receive 5 starts because of the cons I mentioned. It's not a perfect product or it's not perfectly working for me. However, it works exceptionally well and would be a great product to use anyone's home for peace of mind. Please note: My review is not endorsed, sponsored, paid for, or anything else that would signify a monetary exchange. I don't often leave reviews (something I should change since I rely on them) but I was compelled to do so especially after recent events at my own home that tested this purchase.

YA FUNCIONA, VER ACTUALIZACIÓN DE COMENTARIOS
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.

Very good 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.

Great set of functionality and great customer service!
TLDR: It may have its few drawbacks, but they all have solutions amd our Ultraloq Pro with Wifi bridge has been an amazing addition to our home! I did quite a bit of research in finding a smart lock that was reasonably priced, a good fit with our technologically-diverse family, had Google Home integration, was compatible with our different needs and first and foremost reliable. I was willing to chose outside of the big names, but not to go for something that felt downright dodgy. Well, I believe we hit the jackpot in this case! Their website and videos are great to confirm compatibility with your existing door and jamb and to help with installation. If you aren't sure you can replace a deadbolt, their documentation should give you the confidence to try! The hardware itself and the functionality we are using are no less than awesome! - The fingerprint reader needs you to really take a good first reading all around your finger to work well, but when you do it is very reliable. - The temporary guest feature is very nice whenever someone comes to take care of the kids or the house in general. In this case, we use a code and it's a breeze. We've only ever had amazed feedback from those who've used it... - The fact that there is a backup key is a great backup for some, but the deadbolt hasn't yet made us use it. - The micro-usb plug under the deadbolt to provide emergency power is a great touch too! Definitely more my style... - The battery life is pretty good with our Eneloop AA batteries (always 4+ months with daily use) and the low-battery signal is early enough that it shouldn't leave you stranded anyway if you want to count on it instead of replacing the batteries on a schedule. - We live in a northern climate and the deadbolt never skipped a beat despite the cold or humidity. Drawbacks exist, but they are few and far between and have a solution: - The original installation hardware we received was a little difficult to install without pinching the data cable between the interior module and the exterior one. It did cause glitches to start happening over time in that original unit, but the costumer service we received from Eli in particular when that happened was awesome! The second unit we were sent had the updated installation hardware and I uninstalled the lock after a few weeks to ensure the cable wasn't pinched and it's been faultless since it was installed 4 months ago. I do want to emphasize that these glitches never actually left us stranded outside, but they did get annoying especially the beeping in the middle of the night, but the new unit NEVER did it. - When you have really done your fingerprint properly, the target being rather small isn't really a problem, but fail to do it right and it can get annoying. - Setting up fingerprints does take a while, which just tends to accentuate the previous issue. Patience is key here, you want to plan a calm 5-10 minutes without interruptions per person. - Something that isn't Ultraloq's fault, but needs to be mentioned: Google Home now requires a pin be entered to unlock a door... I understand the extra security this provides and don't want to minimize it, but having to enter or speak out a pin when running a routine really goes against the whole automation concept that is so appealing with a smart lock. - And finally, the current generation is only compatible with Android phones and Google home or Alexa devices, but the word on the street is that the next one will have iOS integration! All in all, we are very happy with this deadbolt, especially since we have received the updated hardware back in August of 2023.
