Best Schlage alternative at half the price
I had been looking for a smartlock that did have “too many” methods of opening making it more vulnerable. The U-Bolt was a good compromise and if you want an ANSI grade 1 deadbolt you really have very few options. I was skeptical about the exterior button pattern but it’s easy enough to navigate. The manual knob turns very smoothly and feels very sturdy. The electronics have worked perfectly with one caveat which I will detail down below:The after about a year the interior section failed to power on ever after replacing the batteries. I believe this was from the auto-locking feature getting stuck and burning itself out. (Note: even in a no-power state it still operated as a “dumb” lock maintaining my security.) I contacted U-Tec and worked though the troubleshooting steps and after confirming that the device had indeed failed, they sent me a new interior mechanism. Once replaced it returned to working perfectly again.Would recommend.

Great lock for my gate!
Fairly straightforward installation. Works great and the battery life is good. I’ve had it for well over a year and changed the batteries once. It is used daily.

little more than a toy for fun, do not use for remote access or secure control of your doors
So far, 5 days in I would say the Ultraloq is a complete failure.I purchased this for the primary front door lock at a home which we are not in attendance for months at a time but require temporary access for workers and guests. For this it is a complete and utter fail.What I have learned -1) the unit does not have any reliable wi-fi. My $10 remote outlet switches are more reliable. The unit was installed in the front door with line of sight access to a 4 month old Orbi Mesh access point, which supports both 2.4 and 5Ghz. The AP is located about 15 feet from the front door with no obstructions. The unit requires wifi for most all functions on the app, unless your within short bluetooth range. In three weeks the unit has not remained connected to the wifi network more than 3 days. There is no particular reason it disconnects, I have a highly automated home and every other device, phone, computer, wifi lights, wifi plugs, wifi cameras, wifi ring doorbell, wifi ring remote ringer, wifi clocks, wifi interior door locks, etc. all have remained connected. The only single failed device is the Ultraloq/app.2) When the lock disconnects it does not have the capability to reconnect, regardless of the reason for disconnect. This means that if for any reason including just random disconnect occurs on the lock it will not reconnect. The ONLY way to reconnect is to complete multiple phone reboots, remove the wifi connection from the app, connect to the lock ONLY via bluetooth, then reinstall the wifi connection. Each time it disconnects this is the process. I discussed this at length with Ultraloq tech support, this is the required procedure. This means you cannot operate these units remotely. So unless you plan to be at your home, everyday, and within bluetooth range, everyday, these units are not going to function.3) The issue is software/firmware and is the same for all locks Ultraloq sells. The Ultraloq personnel will attempt to push it off on your wifi. They will tell you that mesh systems are not reliable (despite the actual fact that wifi mesh systems are more reliable offer greater resiliency and greater coverage areas), or that the locks require 2.4Ghz only (Most mesh systems offer both 2.4 and 5ghz and self select the one the device can use).4) Ultraloq denies this issue exists but it is detailed by multiple users in the their own community tech pages.5) Even with the “smart” open and autolock feature the system can and does fail. If only close the door partially the lock will make a couple of attempts to lock, once it can’t the lock entirely fails but does not show the failure in the app. The lock will have to be manually opened, then the door closed for it to reengage. If you open the door or close the door without the manual opening of the lock the unit will not autolock.6) logs are unreliable. Further attempting to access them can take minutes for each screen listing of logs. For me the app tends to timeout multiple times before presenting the data. I have found no way to download or access logs other than the log screen.7) once the unit connects to a phone via bluetooth it will not connect via wifi, so you have to turn off your bluetooth, reboot the app, in order to get the app to access the lock via wifi.Despite all the features and the great reviews, these locks are not for reliable, secure use of a primary lock in a home or other structure.

Después de dos meses de uso diario, estoy satisfecho con su funcionamiento.La instalación es muy fácil y está totalmente guiada por el instructivo y videos de instalación. Si por alguna razón, alguna pieza del kit no se puede instalar en tu puerta, puedes usar la pieza que ya tienes en tu cerrojo actual y va a funcionar.Importante señalar, que la primera vez que se usa no abrió de manera total de forma automática, se atascaba. Se soluciona usando un poco de WD40 y listo.A veces tarda unos segundos en conectarse al celular y abrir con la aplicación, pero no es nada que sea más incómodo que llevar llave física a todos lados. Muy bueno en general.

Foi uma escolha acertadaA fechadura é bela, prática e modernaNos estamos satisfeitos com a tecnologia embarcada e a facilidade de instalação e uso.Recomendo muito

Doing DIY is easy, and it works like a charm. There’s no need to wait for the automatic lock; just shut the door and press the U button on the lock without using your phone!
