Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro WiFi review

U-tec's Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro WiFi brings a fingerprint sensor and keypad down to $179.99, which makes it the value pick among full replacement deadbolts. You can enter by fingerprint, PIN code, the U home app on iPhone or Android, a watch, automatic locking and unlocking, or the physical key, and Wi-Fi is built in so remote control needs no hub. Owners can share permanent, scheduled or temporary virtual keys. U-tec rates it IP65 against water and dust for temperatures from -22°F to 149°F, and it runs on 8 AA batteries with a MicroUSB port to power it if they die. U-tec says it fits any US standard door and backs it with an 18-month warranty. The limits: U-tec quotes up to 8 months of battery life on Wi-Fi, and U-tec ties Apple Home app support to its Apple Home and Matter models. We compared documented features and published prices.
