I purchased two of these Ultraloq. Technology is good the quality of the bolt. so if you forget and pushed the door shut while the bolt is out (because it automatically locks even if you have the door open) then the bolt will be easily bent due to very weak construction.
I bought the z-wave version and integrated it with my home automation platform (Home Assistant) and am loving how much more versatile it is with the right home automation's. I don't really understand the con about how it looks as it looks just as good if not better then most smart locks out there. It's mostly made of very solid metal and looks nice IMO.
Can you set it to automatically lock after you go in or out the door each time? I'm looking for this feature for the kids that always forget to lock the door behind them.
Not a great review in my opinion. Firstly, easy to install doesn't automatically translate to entry level. I wouldn't consider the ULTRALOQ Pro and entry level lock by any stretch. Secondly I would not describe it as "not having curbside appeal", I would be interested to know which lock(s) the reviewer thinks have more curbside appeal. Lastly if you have the Z-Wave version you can do almost anything in terms of control via the hub, this is lost in the review. The lock is not perfect but the review is not an accurate reflection.
Don't listen to this lady or the fake reviews of this lock. This lock and the company behind it are a huge joke. I got the U-Bolt Pro with the built in Wi-Fi the other day and set it up. This lock was replacing a broken Eufy smart lock. The first issue I had was after putting in the batteries, the lock turned on but when I placed the battery cover on it lost power. I swapped batteries and did all kinds of tweaking to get it to finally work with the cover on. Next issue was the connection. I have an WAP right next to it about 5 ft away and the damn thing just won't reliably connect (or the app is simply awful) to the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. When it connected, I could not get the finger print started and I could not set a pin without first setting a finger print. I also could not disable the auto-lock as the app crashed or did not connect to the lock. So I was stuck with a smart lock that could only open with the keys. I fought with this for an hour, then said fuck it and removed it. I emailed support and listed out all my issues and asked for a return. They agreed and told me to send it back, but I must pay for return and these assholes didn't even provide a return address, nor is that listed on their website. Since they take about 12hrs to answer an email, I must now wait for them to provide the return address. This company is an armature and sucks at basic customer service. Stay away from this one.

I agree; the door lock is one of the sleekest and most modern designs on the market.
does fingerprint unlocking works without internet? Thank you.

Sure can! And if memory serves me, you can adjust how long you want it to wait to lock between those periods

I enjoyed it. She seems sweet.
This review is trash. This lock is great, and looks great as well.

I have not one but THREE U-Bolt Pros and they work GREAT and the support is also GREAT.. sorry for your experience..
Similar experience. They send poor quality stuff.
This was a very very Good Presentation.
