The Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro: A Smart Lock with a Fingerprint Scanner?!

A Look at the Features (and What to Know)

The absolute star of the show here, and the thing that feels the most futuristic, is the fingerprint reader. It's positioned right in the center of the lock, and it's an incredibly fast and easy way to get in your door—no codes to remember, no phone to pull out. Beyond that, you've got the clever anti-peep keypad where you can enter a long string of random numbers with your real code hidden inside to confuse nosy neighbors. And of course, you can control everything and see a log of who's entered from the U-tec app on your phone.

• Unlock your door with just a touch.
• Tons of different ways to get in.
• Control and monitor your lock from anywhere.

The fingerprint reader is an incredibly convenient way to unlock your door in about a second, especially when your hands are full. Like the sensor on your smartphone, it works its absolute best when your finger is clean and dry. A great tip from users is to register your fingerprint from a couple of different angles during the easy setup process to make it even more reliable.

It also has that 'magic' auto-unlock feature that uses your phone's location to unlock the door hands-free as you approach. The lock is powered by standard AA batteries, and if they ever die on you, there's a hidden micro-USB port on the bottom that you can use with a portable power bank to give it emergency power.

This is a full deadbolt replacement that fits most standard doors, and the installation is very straightforward with just a basic screwdriver. The design is unique and modern with its round shape, which looks really high-tech and cool on the door. It also has a physical keyhole that's cleverly hidden, so you always have that traditional, old-school backup if you ever need it.

The Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro is a feature-packed powerhouse for the tech-savvy homeowner who loves having options. It gives you an incredible number of ways to secure and access your home. If you love having the latest gadgets and want the ultimate in keyless flexibility, this lock is a fantastic choice.
